Penske drivers aiming to avoid Daytona repeat at Talladega
TALLADEGA, ALA. — Roger Penske doesn’t want a repeat of the Daytona 500 when teammates Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski took each other out racing for the win on the final lap.
Penske, owner of Team Penske, convened his drivers for a Zoom session ahead of Sunday’s Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on the importance of balancing the collective good of the team with individuals’ competitive desires.
“Just trying to find the best way that if we are in a spot where we’re 1-2 coming to the end of this thing, how do we go about that?” said fellow Penske racer Ryan Blaney, who won at Talladega last June. “How do we go about to make sure and do our best that we finish 1-2, no matter who wins?”
