Penske opens doors to personal museum.
With 249 major race wins under his belt, Roger Penske certainly needs more than just a trophy case to house his motorsports memories; in fact he needs a whole building.
In order to accommodate more than 37 years of racing history, Penske Restoration was established in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The 35,000 square foot facility is the site where each of Penske Racing's cars is restored to running condition.

The previously unseen facility also houses Penske's personal car collection (including a 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena, a Lamborghini 147 Murcielago, a 1995 Ferrari F50, a 2003 Ferrari Enzo, a 2005 Ford GT40 and a 1955 Gull Wing Mercedes 300SL); the pace cars from his Indianapolis 500 wins; and the complete archives of Penske Racing.
Penske Restoration opened its doors to a news publication for the first time when it allowed ESPN - The Magazine "Total Access" to the facility. The resulting two-page photo spread can be found in the current issue of the magazine available on newsstands in the United States this week.
