McLaughlin drives for the American motorsport giants in the Supercars Championship and has won the last two titles.
The 26-year-old has said previously he's committed to defending his title in 2020 but the invitation will do little to quell speculation his future lies Stateside.
New Zealander McLaughlin is also engaged to an American and the offer to try out for a place in Penske's IndyCar team demonstrates the high regard he's held in by the team.
The testing will take place and world famous Sebring International Raceway in Florida on January 13.
