Team Penske

When it comes to 2017 the biggest question for Team Penske is whether or not Joey Logano or Brad Keselowski can finally get over the proverbial hump.

Since the new Chase format has come into place Logano has been to the final-four two out of three times. He most likely would have been in all three had it not been for Matt Kenseth in 2015. Despite making it to Miami with a chance to win a title, Logano has come up short both times.

Keselowski on the other had tends to have the better regular seasons, much like he did in 2016. However, when it comes time for the Chase he is unable to get himself in a position to race for the title at Homestead.

This season both drivers need to get to the final-four and one of them needs to win a championship for their team.
