Summary
David Malukas, leading a race for Team Penske, blamed Chevy’s engine for sputtering and costing him victory—calling the issue “ridiculous” and accusing the manufacturer of letting him down. But after cooling off overnight, he took to social media to apologize, admitting his comments were childish and acknowledging Chevy’s crucial support this season. He denied being told to apologize by owner Roger Penske, who has ties to Chevy’s engine builder, stressing he felt genuine guilt and wanted to own up. Malukas emphasized that while he knows what it’s like to be let down, he didn’t want to burden Chevy—especially after they rebuilt his car after a crash. Chevy hasn’t officially responded yet, but may soon address the performance issues with the No. 12 car. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
