No. 1 – Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski

Team Penske is only a two-car operation and it’s for that reason that they can’t overtake JGR as the best team in NASCAR. The consistency of Team Penske is at the top of the series right now and it’s for that reason that they are No. 1 on this list.

If Team Penske was made up of two Logano’s and two Keselowski’s they would easily be the best team in NASCAR, surpassing JGR.

Sure, Logano doesn’t have a championship but he has been to the final-four in the playoffs two of the last three seasons. Heck, he would have been there three years in a row if not for the actions of Matt Kenseth in 2015. Keselowski has consistently been there with wins over the last few seasons, going toe-to-toe with Kyle Busch for the most wins for the better part of 2016.

Is this duo the best bet for winning a championship in 2017? That debatable as Johnson and Kyle Busch might have the edge. However, when it comes to consistency, Team Penske is where it’s at and that’s why they are No. 1 on this list.
