Team Penske 2014 Review
By Richard Tix
2014 Season Stats
Wins: 11
Top 5: 33
Top 10: 42
Pole: 6
In 2013 Team Penske had mixed results. Brad Keselowski came off a 2012 Championship and failed to replicate those stats in 2013. Meanwhile, Joey Logano had a break out season and got plenty comfortable at Penkse.
In 2014, the two drivers were on the same page it seemed. both had fantastic season's. After what I would call a coming out party for Joey Logano in 2013, he truly broke out in 2014 becoming a title contender. BK also got back on track in 2014 and showed once again he can contend for a Championship.
As a whole, Team Penkse brought fast cars week in and week out while looking like they were a step in front of some teams. But, when the season ended both drivers were left wanting more when they came up short of the Championship.
- After a disappointing 2013, BK must be relieved he got back into Championship form in 2014. I think he carved out his role in NASCAR's Cup level and wont have as many down years like he did in 2013. He ended the season with the most Cup wins (6), top 5's (17), and third most top 10's (20), while finishing the season 5th in points.
- JoLo broke out in 2013 but he made a splash in 2014. In 2014 he made the Chase for the second time in his career and road that confidence all the way to the Finale in Miami. He won 5 races, 16 top 5's, 22 top 20s, 1 pole, all while finishing 4th in points. Everything but Pole Awards were career highs for JoLo.
