"… We're one group. The cars are the same; you can see how well they run, they're qualifying very close together, and I think it's an open book, and to me that makes the difference. So I'm thrilled with where we are, and I think we've got a great runway for us long‑term."
Wolfe, Keselowski's crew chief since 2011, said he believes the two Team Penske groups "probably work more closely than anyone in the garage."
The cars themselves are so identical, he said, "you can take a 22 (of Logano) or a 2 (of Keselowski) and just change the paint scheme on it and bring it to the race track. I don't think there are many teams that can say that. I think that’s a big reason for a lot of the success we've had, and we’ll continue to work that way moving forward and hopefully continue the success."
That "one organization, one team" approach isn’t new -- although on many occasions it's proven difficult for a single organization to field several competitive entries simultaneously. Few car builds are exactly the same, and few drivers like the same feel behind the wheel.
The key going forward, Penske said, is to stay "consistent."
"Joey and Brad have built a great relationship, and believe me, the way (Logano) ran … and came from the back there was strong right at the end," he said. "I think we’re going to see him in Victory Lane, too, so that’s our goal now -- whatever it takes, get him a victory."
I was saying something like this earlier this week. I think these guys work together so well that success is pretty much inevitable. I also like that final sentence... shows just how tight knit they make themselves.
So far so good for this Penske fan.
Roger's hole in one this past weekend is a sign of things to come
