NASCAR Team Spotlight: Team Penske

Team Penske 2014 Preview



By Richard Tix

Now up on NASCAR Behind the Wall a new team, or maybe just a new team name. 2012 ended pretty well for Penkse, they brought home there first Championship when Brad Keselowski won. 2013 wasn't as easy. The team ran a little too far into the "gray" area and BK struggled. On the bright side, with BK's two cents, they brought in Joey Logano and he had his best season so far. The two young drivers will look to jump up in the standings in 2014 along with groom in Ryan Blaney (Scheduled to run at least 2 races in 2014).

2013 Team Stats
  • Wins: 2
  • Top 5: 20
  • Top 10: 35

Brad Keselowski
  • After winnning the Championship in 2012, 2013 couldnt have been anymore of a wake up call. The #2 team ran into some troubles and bumps in the road and never could quiet overcome them. BK did finish the season off with his first win during the Chase and maybe carrying that over into 2014.
  • Joey notched a in in 2013 in his first year with Penske while also setting career high's in top 5's (11) and top 10's (19). BK run his mouth, but he did say that Penske should bring in Logano which looks like a great decision. JoLo might have just hit the tip of the iceberg in 2013 with 2014 bringing even bigger things.
