Is RFK the top Ford team right now?

Outside of the #12 it just seems like penske is way off this year. RFK is definitely better across all 3 drivers this year.

RFK has improved and they are doing a great job,
and they are better at Darlington.

But I would still consider Penske to be the best overall Ford operation in Nascar.

It is so weird how far off Penske has been. The fact that Blaney can still drive it makes it even weirder.

I wonder if there was something wrong or flawed with Logano's car Sunday. A hidden crack or bad weld in the frame, rear-end housing, bad shock etc...?
I can get not having top ten speed from anyone on a given day. It is just hard to believe they just missed a setup to the tune of being one of the very slowest cars, and impossible to adjust cars on the track.

Tuesday morning racing is a lot easier than Sundays. But I think they would been better off going behind the wall and adjusting and and essentially practicing, versus just making laps in P34 most of the day. Unless they had already discovered a problem that couldn't be addressed during the race.

The thing is unless I was missing something in the stats the #22 has 1 top 10 for the season? IMO the system has always made up for his inconsistent finishing
 
I feel like Logano has quietly "lost a step" the past few years. Cindric actually seems a little bit better but that isn't hard to do when you run p25 for 3 years straight.
 
I agree that RFK is the best Ford team right now. But it’s a long season. We have all watched drivers and teams come out of the gate flying only to be passed down the backstretch or around the final turn. Penske has done a good job at this over the last several years. I think the Logano and Blaney combo eventually pulls ahead of RFK but as much as I like Cindric I am not sure he will ever be a top contender.

Blaney is a top 4 talent in the sport imo. If he was at JGR or HMS he'd have 10 more wins by now.

Blaney is really really really good. Larson, Denny, and maybe Joey are the only drivers I would take over him.

I agree. I'd kill to get him in one of MY Toyotas.
 
It used to be for the teams that they just needed to concentrate on winning a single race and then they could turn their attention to the playoffs. Penske's success in the old playoff system was predicated on that. Logano's performance this year isn't that much different from how he did in 2024 through 6:


This is who he is and this is why people like myself wanted to go back to season long points.
