Penske Racing Starting to Make Big Strides!
While the results in Saturday's Subway Fit 500 do not show it, Penske Racing is making a comeback. The closing laps prior to the final caution found drivers Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman running in 5th and 6th positions respectively. Unfortunately, after making early pit stops on the final cycle of the race and then going down a lap when the final caution of the race came out, both Busch and Newman were sent towards the end of the field.Kurt Busch suffered from a similar setback last week in the Samsung 500 where he challenged for the lead at certain points in the race only to finish in 11th. None-the-less, with both teams now showing they can run with the top dogs, its obvious Penske is on a comeback.
Expect both Kurt and Ryan to continue running well in the remaining Car of Tomorrow races. Of all teams, Penske has most embraced the new COT and has performed more tests with the new cars than any other team in NASCAR!
