Team Penske did something in 2022 that it hadn't done since team formed in 1967.
In three of those seasons, Penske won three championships—either an IndyCar championship, NASCAR Xfinity drivers’ and owners’ championships, Australian Supercars championship, or NASCAR Cup Series.For more than three decades—beginning with Rusty Wallace in 1991—team owner Roger Penske had longed to hold America’s two most treasured motorsports trophies at the same time. During those years, leading into 2022, Team Penske won 16 IndyCar titles and two NASCAR Cup Series titles.
The Captain’s first NASCAR title came in a Dodge with Brad Keselowski in 2012. Ryan Hunter-Reay won that year’s IndyCar title with “Since 1967, we’ve been multiple champions in seven years,” Czarnecki pointed out. “In three of those seasons, we won three championships. It was either an IndyCar championship, NASCAR Xfinity drivers’ and owners’ championships, Australian Supercars championship, or NASCAR Cup Series. But never IndyCar and Cup at the same time, not until this year.”
Will Power’s IndyCar championship brought team owner Roger Penske the first leg of the IndyCar/NASCAR Cup double.For Logano—now the second active multi-time NASCAR champion alongside fellow two-timer Kyle Busch–two really isn’t enough. “I guess the greed in me feels like I should have four or five at the moment,” he said. “I guess the feeling is that’s it’s about time. But I guess that’s just how I am, how I work. Once you win one of these things you want to win another one even worse.
