Penske Racing announced today that Ryan Briscoe has been signed to drive for Team Penske in the IndyCar Series beginning in 2008. The 26 year-old will be piloting the #6 Team Penske Dallara/Honda sponsored by Philip Morris USA, during the 16-event season. Briscoe will replace three-time IndyCar Series Champion Sam Hornish Jr. who announced he will drive the Penske Racing Mobil 1 Dodge in the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. “I am very excited to race for Team Penske, it’s a dream come true,” said Briscoe. “I really want to thank Roger and Tim for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. Racing for Penske’s ALMS program in 2007 has been a highlight in my career, but open-wheel racing is where my heart lies, and I can't wait to race full time in the IndyCar Series for one of the best teams in open-wheel history.”
