2015 Team Spotlight Preview: Team Penske

Team Penske 2015 Season Preview



By Richard Tix


2014 Season Stats
Races: 72
Wins: 11
Top 5: 33
Top 10: 42
Pole: 6
2014 Chase Drivers: 2

Since Brad Keselowksi won the Cup title in 2012 Team Penske has been on a roll. In 2014 nothing changed as Joey Logano had a break out season and became a title favorite for 2015. In 2014 it seemed like Penske just had something figured out before everyone else.

They had speed during races and also figured out the qualifying method before most and in the end it helped both drivers make the Chase and win 5 plus races (JoLo-5 and BK- 6). 

The obvious question is can Penske do it again in 2015? Once again the car packages are changing and teams can not test like they used to. So its interesting to debate where teams will end up next year. I think Penske will continue to stay on a hot streak because they have fought through the past few seasons and stayed on top of there game even with all the changes.


Joey Logano
  • 2014 was a full break out season for JoLo. He went from breaking out in 2013 to becoming a title contender in 2014. One bad and ill timed pit stop kept him from pushing Harvick for the Championship last year. From here on out JoLo's main goal will be making the final at Miami.
Brad Keselowski
  • The 2012 Cup Champion had a bounce back year in 2014 after a rough 2013 season. He was back in Championship form but still came up short in the end. He didn't make many friends in 2014 but he did put up 6 wins which was the most of any driver in 2015. I think he stays hot in 2015 and maybe even makes the final four.
