Joel Svensson

Team Manager IMSA Porsche Penske Motorsport

Personal take

Joel grew up in the paddock in his native Sweden, with both his parents involved in racing. He worked for several sportscar teams before joining Team Penske around 10 years ago. Starting as a car chief, he moved up to crew chief and then his current role four years ago, joining the Porsche Penske Motorsport project in January 2024. His day-to-day work includes heading up the operational side of the IMSA project, logistics, hiring and much more.

I was born and raised in the racing industry back home in Sweden and came to America in 2007. I started working for a couple of different sportscar teams, and joined Penske about 10 years ago.
