DS Talk » 05. Now a member of the hierarchy at his former clu

Team Penske has a 2016 championship trophy in its race shop.The IndyCar title trophy earned by Simon Pagenaud could be the only one that makes it into the facility this year.After two races in the quarterfinal round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, both Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski are perilously close to being eliminated. Logano is tied with Austin Dillon for the final spot that would get in on points when the Chase field is cut from 12 to eight following the race next week at Talladega.Logano and Dillon are 13 points behind seventh-place Martin Truex Jr. They are six points ahead of Denny Hamlin, seven points ahead of Keselowski and 25 points ahead of Chase Elliott.Keselowski finished 38th after a bad mistake Sunday in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, where he tried to slide in front of Denny Hamlin, got loose and was turned by Hamlin. Keselowskis car was ripped apart by the infield grass.While Keselowski -- who entered the race with a 25-point gap on ninth in the standings -- said just days earlier a driver should know his situation, he didnt account for making a bad misjudgment as he did at Kansas.I probably could have raced less hard with a big points gap coming in, Keselowski said. With this format it is probably the smart thing to do, but I dont want to race like that.I want to race my guts out and go for wins. I dont want to points race. I dont care what the damn format is, I am going to give it my best.Keselowski has won the last two restrictor-plate races, and Logano is the defending winner of the Talladega fall race.I dont think it is a must-win situation, Keselowski said. I am not worried about it. I am going to go there and bust my butt to try to win, but I dont think it is a must-win yet.Logano finished third at Kansas, rallying after a pair of blown tires resulted in a horrible day a week earlier at Charlotte.I race to win, said Logano, who swept the quarterfinal round last year. Thats the way I race. I dont know a different way to race.Thats probably the route Im going to go. Im sure well talk about [strategy] this week. But Im a racer.Both drivers could have benefited if Kevin Harvick, who had an oil pump seal come apart at Charlotte, had not won at Kansas. He would have been seventh in the Chase grid, only three points ahead of Logano, heading into Talladega.[Third] is not disappointing because we still should be proud of the efforts that we had today, Logano said. But it would have been a lot different if he finished second.Penske has won one Cup driver championship -- with Keselowski in 2012. Last year, both Keselowski and Logano advanced to the semifinal round but failed to advance to be among the four drivers eligible for the title at Homestead.If my team keeps putting up this kind of effort, I dont worry about today, Keselowski said. We will win another race. We will win Talladega and other races and be fine.Logano also tried to be a little bit of a cheerleader after Kansas.We came out swinging, Logano said. Its what we had to do. We did everything we were supposed to do today.Our team executed perfectly.?... Overall Im proud of the effort and the job we did.Xfinity Series: Two weeks off to reboundThe Xfinity Series teams opened their semifinal round (their Round of 8) at Kansas but now have two weeks off until resuming their playoffs in Texas.No doubt if teams have something they want to try on a 1.5-mile track and are in desperate need of points, this will be the opportunity.With Kyle Busch winning at Kansas, no one has automatically advanced into the championship round at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Elliott Sadler (second in the race) and Daniel Suarez (third) have 12 points on fifth, with Blake Koch (ninth) ahead by five points. Justin Allgaier (14th) and Erik Jones (15th) are tied for the final spot, with Ryan Reed (16th) down by two, Brendan Gaughan (31st) down by 17 and Darrell Wallace Jr. (33rd) 18 points out.The last thing you want to do is go into this two-week break wondering, Oh man, how bad are we out, what do we have to do at Texas? Sadler said. And [you then] have to stare at the points for 14 days before you can get back into a race car.Suarez will remain busy. He goes to Mexico this week (with a NASCAR video crew in tow) and then will race a truck at Martinsville the following week.Im looking forward to spending a week there and then coming back and spend another off-weekend racing in trucks in Martinsville, Suarez said. Its going to be a good time and Im looking forward to enjoying it. Air Jordan 1 España .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief.
