Gil de Ferran, who won back-to-back CART Championships in 2000 and 2001 and was the winner of the 2003 Indianapolis 500 for Team Penske, suffered a massive heart attack and died on Friday, December 29 in Opa-Locka, Florida. He was 56 years old.

In the world of racing, "Penske" means performance ... and winning. For good reason. Since 1966, Team Penske has won 44 national championships, 17 IndyCar alone. And last year, Team Penske recorded its second-straight NASCAR Cup Series championship and won its record 19th Indianapolis 500. Those are results that are tough to top.
