Team Penske announced Monday afternoon they will reposition its existing crew chief lineups for the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Brad Keselowski will now be paired with Jeremy Bullins, Ryan Blaney with Todd Gordon and Joey Logano with Paul Wolfe.
Additionally, the road and pit crews will follow their respective crew chiefs to their new positions, while the spotters that have been paired with Blaney, Keselowski and Logano will remain with their current drivers.
“As we do after the completion of each season, we evaluated what we can do to better achieve our goals and we felt it was time to make these changes to better position us to reach our potential,” said team owner Roger Penske.
“We are fortunate that we have three very strong leaders in Paul, Todd and Jeremy, who work with experienced and talented crews. Pairing each of these winning teams with different drivers and cars should provide new energy and a fresh approach for the 2020 season.”
All three Team Penske teams won races and qualified for the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series with Keselowski advancing to the Round of 12 and Logano and Blaney to the Round of 8 last year.
Bullins, Gordon and Wolfe all have NASCAR championships to their credit with Team Penske. Wolfe claimed the 2012 Cup Series championship with Keselowski (No. 2 team), Gordon won the 2018 Cup Series title with Logano (No. 22 team) and Bullins led the Team Penske Xfinity Series owner’s championship back-to-back in 2013 and 2014
The adjustments within the team will take effect immediately with the new lineups in place for the start of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season and the Clash at Daytona on Sunday, Feb. 9, followed by the Duel races on Feb. 13 and the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 16 (2:30 pm ET on FOX).
