Based on these guidelines, the street name of 'Roger Penske Drive" was <br />selected as the name of a street segment in the Santa Ana Auto Mall in <br />honor of Roger Penske, owner of seven of the nine dealerships within the <br />Auto Mall and well-known automotive racing legend. His commitment to <br />improving the Santa Ana Auto Mall has resulted in major upgrades to all of <br />his dealerships and a significant increase in City revenue. <br />Section 2.
