“Best Team in Motorsports”: Team Penske hailed after NASCAR championship dominance set new benchmarks in modern era

Team Penske is not a name solely associated with NASCAR. The team is the motorsports arm of a larger Penske Corporation and has strong roots in a variety of racing disciplines such as the IndyCar Series and the IMSA Sports Championship. His most recent achievement of winning a third consecutive Cup championship has further enhanced his legacy in the racing world.

The 2024 campaign was an incredible year for Team Penske. It is the first time they have won the Indianapolis 500, the Cup Series title, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar championship and the World Endurance Championship in the same season.

It’s also the first time his team has finished 1-2 in the Cup Series, thanks to Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney. But this season is just the tip of the iceberg.

The team’s social media pages recently posted an Instagram post about how Phoenix’s win was the 150th victory on record. The reactions to the publication were full of praise.

One fan wrote, “Penske owns the finish line regardless of motorsports.” How true is this? The pages of the statistics book. portray a bigger picture of what Team Penske has accomplished in motorsports.

Roger Penske has 20 Indianapolis 500 wins. Team Penske has 47 championships, including 17 in IndyCar and five in Cup. The victory in Phoenix was the 645th for the team as a whole. He also won his fifth Cup ownership championship in 2024. 10 different drivers have reached victory lane carrying the team’s banner so far in history.

Fans in love with Team Penske’s achievements in motorsports

And finally, Team Penske is the only team to have won a Cup championship since the Next Gen car was introduced in 2022. This new benchmark is likely what led one fan to comment: “Without a doubt, the best team in the history of motorsports, congratulations Mr. Penske!!! Let’s get 4 in a row now” One of the 10 drivers to win races with the team is icon Rusty Wallace.

One fan wrote under the Instagram post: “Seeing Rusty there always makes me happy, regards to the Captain.” Another follower had a fair question: “Where do you think they keep all those trophies?” It wouldn’t be a surprise if Penske Corporation already had a separate building to flaunt all the cutlery.

Although he is now 87 years old, Roger Penske is not done building his team’s legacy. He wants to win more and get more championships at home just because of the image they give him and his organization. Judging by the performance of its Cup drivers, one could argue that it is on track to achieve that goal.
