Briscoe thrilled to retain Penske seat

Ryan Briscoe has described the extension of his deal with Penske as a "huge" boost, as a series of new sponsor announcements allowed the team to confirm that it would run its full three-car line-up throughout the 2011 season. There had briefly been doubt over whether Briscoe would be retained alongside Will Power and Helio Castroneves as the team hunted for new sponsorship. But Penske has recently revealed several new deals, including the arrival of IndyCar Series title sponsor IZOD as primary backer for Briscoe's car at several events, including the Indianapolis 500.
