A no-win situation for Penske and Roush
Legendary owners still seeking first NASCAR victory on fabled track

Facts can defy logic at times. It's true in all aspects of life, those little things that make you shake your head and say, "That can't be right."

Take this little tidbit for example: Roger Penske and Jack Roush – two of the most successful team owners in motor sports – never have won a NASCAR event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Both men will sit on pit road Sunday for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, hoping to end a surprising drought at racing's most historic venue.

It's a Nextel Cup oddity that doesn't make sense, like Dale Earnhardt not winning the Daytona 500 until his 20th try.

Earnhardt won a lot at Daytona (Pepsi 400s, Bud Shootouts, IROC events, qualifying races) just not the 500 for his first two decades of trying.

Penske has won more at Indy than anyone else. His name deserves a permanent marker in Victory Lane. more on Roush and Penske winless at Indy
