Scott McLaughlin opens up about the aftermath of the Indianapolis 500 controversy

Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin recently spoke about the team as they recover from the Indy 500 scandal. The incident came to light after 2 of the 3 cars failed to pass the post-qualifying inspection at the Indianapolis 500.

IndyCar handed out penalties to both drivers, which sent them to the back of the grid. The team was also fined $100,000 for both cars, along with a suspension for both race strategists.

In the following days, the team put out a statement announcing that they had parted ways with President Tim Cindric, IndyCar managing director Ron Ruzewski and the team's general manager Kyle Moyer. All three drivers were given new race strategists for the Indianapolis 500 and will continue with the same arrangement. Scott McLaughlin recently spoke about how the changes within the team have not yet settled in.

"Obviously, it's a lot for the team to take in. We're still working through things as we speak. Ultimately, I think the best thing that Penske has... the depth that we have throughout the whole factory. I'm really sort of excited to just get on with it, excited for the future of the team. I'm here for a long time. I've got an avid interest for this to work and to be as strong as we were before, which I believe we certainly can with the people we've got.

"Sort of sad, obviously, like I said earlier about what happened. I respect the decision. You just got to press on and work with the people that you've got. We'll be okay," the No. 3 Chevy driver concluded.

Ben Bretzman, Scott McLaughlin's race engineer, was promoted to race strategist for the Indianapolis 500.
