Ev Back to Penske Indycar in 2014

Penske Racing announced that the former Penske Driver has returned and will once again drive the #12 Verizon Indycar in the 2014 Indyslotcar championship.

"Having Everet back in the fold is like finding our favorite old t-shirt at the bottom of the drawer," said Timmy Cindric team manager of Penske H.O. "You forgot about it and haven't worn it for some time, but when you try it on it still fits and still makes you look cool. Everet hasn't won a championship in almost 15 years and hasn't won a race in Penske colors for 18 months, but he's still a name and someone the fans love. I'm sure he'll represent Penske well once again."


Kamikawa most recently drove for Penske for a few races during the 2011-2012 season where he took a win while splitting time with Team Spehert (where he won on the debut with at Lack Track) and his own team of Super Kamikawa, with whom he won the 2012 Indy 500.


In 2013 Kamikawa drove for Panther racing where he had best place finishes of second twice (he argues he really won the 2012 Turkey Trot in a close finish with Dan Margetta).
Kamikawa has 34 career wins and 31 pole positions and is a two time champion. He has driven for several teams in his 20 year career, most famously teamed with John Shea at Ferrari.

Kamikawa has driven for:
Mobil One Racing (two starts), Benetton (two starts), Ferrari, Miller Lite Racing (one start), Target Chip Ganassi, Wallshot/RuSport, Team Australia, Team Penske, Team Spehert, Super Kamikawa, Panther Racing
