Car No. 02 history ;Ryan Newman (2000–2001) Penske's No. 02 team originally began running in the
ARCA RE/MAX Series in 2000 as the No. 27
Ford sponsored by
Alltel and driven by
Ryan Newman. Later in the year, the team made its
NASCAR Cup Series debut with Newman at
Phoenix as the No. 02
Alltel Ford, finishing 41st due to engine failure. In 2001, Newman split time between
ARCA, the NASCAR
Busch Series, and the NASCAR Cup Series. He drove in 15 Busch races and won at
Michigan. In the Cup Series, he participated in seven events, and almost won
The Winston Open before his engine expired in the closing laps. He put together two top-five finishes, which included a second-place finish at Kansas, and a pole in his abbreviated schedule.

Mobil 1.
Craftsman Truck Series driver
Travis Kvapil attempted four races, failing to qualify at Darlington, with a best finish of 21st at Martinsville. He would replace
Brendan Gaughan in the 77 in 2005.
Chad Blount also ran the car at Talladega, finishing 41st. The No. 06 returned in 2007 with
Sam Hornish Jr. in preparation for moving full-time in the 77 the next year. The No. 06 was sponsored by
Penske Truck Rental and
Mobil 1 Hornish Jr. attempted eight races, but only qualified for the final two races of the season, with a best finish of 30th at Phoenix.
Car No. 06 results Car No. 2 history 's black
Miller scheme in 1994 ;Origins with Blue Max Racing (1983–1990) The No. 2 car's history can be traced back to the late 1970s with M. C. Anderson and
Benny Parsons.
Bobby Allison drove two and a half seasons for Penske, winning four races for the team with a best standing of 4th.
Cale Yarborough drove the 27 Valvoline car in 1981 and 1982 respectively. In 1983, the team switched hands to
Raymond Beadle and Blue Max Racing with
Tim Richmond driving. The team picked up
Rusty Wallace in 1986 and won a Championship in
1989. In 1990, the team barely made it through the season with the help of Roger Penske funding the team to keep going. By late-1990, the team was purchased as a base for Roger's new team. During the offseason, the team changed numbers from 27 to 2 (Wallace's old racing number) and kept the
Miller Sponsorship. ;Rusty Wallace (1991–2005) The No. 2 team has not seen many changes since its debut under the Penske banner at the
1991 Daytona 500, where it finished 27th after a crash late in the race. Wallace drove the car from 1991 to 2005, with some form of Miller Beer as the primary sponsor of the team. Wallace moved to Penske from Blue Max Racing, which suspended operations after 1990. The team in its first year won two races and finished 10th in points. In 1992, Wallace won one race and finished 13th in points. Things then turned around for him and Penske, winning 25 races over the next four years, despite never winning the championship. The team switched from
Pontiac to
Ford in 1994. The season finale at
Atlanta Motor Speedway and the entire
1996 season saw a small change when the popular Miller Genuine Draft paint scheme was replaced with a red, blue and yellow splashed scheme that advertised the Miller brand. After winning five races that season, Wallace donned the blue and white colors of
Miller Lite in 1997. After winning one race a piece over the next three years, he put together four wins and won nine
Bud poles in 2000, the highest total of his career. In 2002, he failed to win races, marking the first year since 1985 that he was winless throughout a season. After that year, the team switched manufacturers from Ford to
Dodge. In 2004, Wallace announced the 2005 season would be his last in the Cup Series, citing his son's racing career and wanting to concentrate on his
Busch Series team,
Rusty Wallace Racing, for the departure. During that season, Wallace returned to victory lane for the first time since 2001 at
Martinsville, one of his historically strong racetracks. Although he would not win a race during his final season, Wallace qualified for the
Chase for the Nextel Cup and finished eighth in series points. ;Kurt Busch (2006–2010) driving To replace the retiring Wallace, Penske tabbed
2004 Nextel Cup Champion
Kurt Busch. However, this caused a problem with Busch's then-current team,
Roush Racing, as he was still under contract for the
2006 season. The situation was resolved thanks in part to the resolution of another disputed contract with Roush. Roush Racing signed
Jamie McMurray to drive their No. 6 car for the 2006 season but his previous team owner,
Chip Ganassi, would not let him drive for Roush. Eventually, an agreement was struck where McMurray was released from his team to replace Busch in the No. 97 car (which was then renumbered to 26), therefore freeing up Busch to drive the No. 2 car. He quickly brought the team back to victory lane by winning in his
fifth start with the team at
Bristol, his only win of
2006. The No. 2 team finished 16th in the season points. Busch won six additional races with the No. 2 car, his last being the
2010 Coca-Cola 600. He qualified for the Chase three times, with a best finish of fourth in the final standings in
2009. ;Brad Keselowski (2011–2021) won the
2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship. In
2011, the No. 2 team swapped numbers with the No. 12 team of
Brad Keselowski, which secured Keselowski's run with the No. 2 team's points. Jay Guy was replaced by Nationwide Series crew chief
Paul Wolfe as the team's crew chief. The No. 2 team with Keselowski and Wolfe initially struggled for the first half of the season, although they won a fuel-mileage race at
Kansas. The team's performance started to improve dramatically after Keselowski injured his leg during a testing crash at
Road Atlanta. Keselowski and Wolfe grabbed two more wins at
Pocono and at Bristol and rallied to make the 2011 Chase field. However, the final 10 races would be an up and down affair for the team, and they were knocked out of contention after finishing 18th at
Phoenix. Nonetheless, Keselowski managed a fifth-place finish in points, a dramatic turnaround from his 2010 performance.
2012 would be Keselowski's breakout season, as he won five races at Bristol,
Talladega,
Kentucky,
Chicagoland, and
Dover, with the last two being his first Chase wins. He would ultimately win Team Penske its first Sprint Cup title after a close battle with
Jimmie Johnson. This would also be the final year of Dodge in the Cup series. With Dodge's departure, Team Penske switched back to Ford in the
2013 season. Compared to his 2012 championship run, Keselowski's 2013 season was a step back, as he opened the season with four top-fives but struggled with consistency from there and eventually missed the Chase altogether. He would win a single race, at Charlotte in October, and rallied to finish fourteenth in points, the highest rank outside the Chase field (due to the
Richmond scandal that resulted in
Jeff Gordon getting an additional Chase berth). Keselowski recovered quickly in 2014, winning the third race of the year at
Las Vegas after
Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran out of gas on the final lap. He later dominated and won Kentucky to become the first two-time winner at the track, and dominated the July race at
Loudon and the September race at
Richmond as well, to secure the top seed in the reformatted Chase for the Sprint Cup. Keselowski then won back-to-back for the first time in his career in the first Chase race at Chicagoland, to secure an immediate transfer into the Contender round of the new Chase. After suffering a blown tire at Kansas and tussling with
Matt Kenseth and
Denny Hamlin at Charlotte, Keselowski went to Talladega needing to win to make the Eliminator round, which he ultimately did after outbattling
Ryan Newman on the final lap. However, he suffered a mechanical failure that caused him to wreck at
Martinsville, and subsequently tangled with Gordon at
Texas, which led to a post-race brawl that became one of the highlights of the season. Keselowski would ultimately be eliminated from the Chase after Phoenix, and finished fifth in the final points, with his six wins being a career-high. 's No. 2 at
Daytona International Speedway in 2016. Keselowski won his first race of 2015 at
California after taking advantage of two late cautions to run down the dominant car of ex-teammate Kurt Busch. This would prove to be the only win of his season, but Keselowski once again advanced to the Eliminator Round of the Chase before suffering another wreck at Martinsville, and after leading the majority of the Texas race only to be passed by
Jimmie Johnson with six laps to go, Keselowski was once again eliminated from championship contention after Phoenix. Keselowski got back to his winning ways in 2016, breaking through at Las Vegas for the second time in three seasons. He also scored his third win in the
GEICO 500 at Talladega, then found his first Daytona win in the Coke Zero 400, followed by his third career win at Kentucky. Keselowski got his first win in 2017 after
Kevin Harvick had trouble in the pits at
Atlanta Motor Speedway. He was leading at Las Vegas when something broke in the car with two to go. He hung on for fifth. He remained consistent, winning the
STP 500 for his first Martinsville win. He continued to be consistent until a strange crash early in the
Coca-Cola 600, when a piece of metal from
Jeffrey Earnhardt pierced
Chase Elliott's grill and went into his engine, causing a mass oil leak and fire. Brad slid in the oil, right to Elliott's rear end. Keselowski would go on to make the playoffs for the sixth time in his Cup series career and score an additional win in the wreck infested Alabama 500 at the Talladega Superspeedway and have the dominant car at Martinsville before a late-race caution and contact with Chase Elliott took him out of contention for the win and he would finish fourth. Keselowski made the final round at Homestead-Miami speedway finished seventh in the race and fourth in the final standings to champion Martin Truex Jr. 's No. 2 at
Sonoma Raceway in 2019 In
2018, Keselowski scored three wins in a row at
Darlington,
Indianapolis, and
Las Vegas, but his run at the Playoffs was marred by bad finishes at the
Charlotte Roval,
Talladega, and
Dover, resulting in his elimination from the Round of 12. Keselowski finished the season eighth in points. Keselowski started the
2019 season with a twelfth place finish at the
Daytona 500. A week later, he won at
Atlanta; this gave him his sixtieth overall win with Team Penske and the first MENCS win for the new
Ford Mustang GT. Keselowski also scored wins at
Martinsville and
Kansas and finished eighth in points for the second consecutive year. Keselowski rebounded in
2020. He scored three wins and finished third in points after the regular season. In the second race of the playoffs, he scored his fourth win of the season at
Richmond and made the final four but would lose the championship to
Chase Elliott. In
2021, Keslowski won only once at the
spring Talladega race but made still made it to the round of 8 although he would miss the final four after finishing third at
Martinsville. He would finish sixth in points. ;Austin Cindric (2022–present) in the No. 2 at
Auto Club Speedway in 2022 On July 15, 2021, it was confirmed that Keselowski would not be returning to Team Penske in 2022 (revealing on July 20 that he had accepted a driver and co-owner role at
Roush-Fenway Racing). The same day that Keselowski's departure was officially confirmed by Penske,
Austin Cindric (who was originally going to drive for
Wood Brothers Racing in 2022) was announced as Keselowski's replacement, as
Harrison Burton would pilot the 21. Cindric won the Daytona 500 in his first full time start in the Cup Series with Penske. On July 20, crew chief
Jeremy Bullins was suspended for four races due to a tire and wheel loss during the
2022 Ambetter 301 at
Loudon. Cindric was eliminated in the Round of 12 after finishing 21st at the
Charlotte Roval. He finished the season 12th in the points standings and won the
NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors. Cindric struggled during the
2023 season, scoring only three top-ten finishes and failing to make the playoffs. His highest finish of the season was fifth place at the
fall Talladega race. in the No. 2 at
Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2025 Cindric started the
2024 season with a 22nd place finish at the
2024 Daytona 500. He scored his second career win at
Gateway after
Christopher Bell lost an engine and
Ryan Blaney ran out of gas, breaking an 85-race winless streak. Cindric started the
2025 season with an eighth place finish at the
2025 Daytona 500. Following the
COTA race, he was docked 50 driver points and fined 50,000 for right-rear hooking
Ty Dillon. Cindric scored his first win of the season at
Talladega after beating
Ryan Preece by 0.022 to the finish line.
Car No. 2 results Car No. 12 history won 3 races in the 12 car from 1998 to 2001. ;Kranefuss-Haas Racing (1994–1997) The current 12 car started out in 1994 at
Michigan as the No. 07
Ford driven by
Robby Gordon and owned by German-American businessman and former Ford executive
Michael Kranefuss along with
Newman/Haas Racing co-principal
Carl Haas. The car started and finished 38th after Gordon crashed on lap seventy. After another start with
Geoff Brabham at the
Brickyard 400, the team— known as Kranefuss-Haas Racing— went full-time in 1995 with
John Andretti driving the
Kmart/
Little Caesars-sponsored No. 37 Ford. Andretti won the pole at the
Mountain Dew Southern 500 and finished eighteenth in the points. The team struggled in 1996 and Kranefuss decided to replace Andretti with
Jeremy Mayfield in what amounted to a driver swap between Kranefuss-Haas and
Cale Yarborough's team as Andretti replaced Mayfield in Yarborough's No. 98. The team picked up co-sponsorship from
Royal Crown Cola for the following season and improved to be thirteenth in the points in 1997, but it was obvious the team wouldn't succeed if it only fielded one team. At the end of the season, Kranefuss and Haas dissolved the partnership and the Kmart sponsorship moved over to
Travis Carter's team, which became Haas–Carter Motorsports and the Little Caesars sponsorship left the team. ;Jeremy Mayfield (1998–2001) In 1998, Kranefuss and Penske Racing announced a merger, with Mayfield coming aboard to drive the No. 12
Mobil 1-sponsored
Ford Taurus as a teammate to Rusty Wallace. The move turned out to be a success, and Mayfield became the next big star. He won the pole at
Texas, and at one point in the season, found himself in the points lead. Mayfield won his first race at the
1998 Pocono 500 in June and his breakout year ended with a seventh-place finish in the points. He struggled in 1999 with no wins and an 11th-place finish in the standings. In 2000, he won at
California and
Pocono. Midway through the season, Kranefuss sold his share of the team to Penske. Mayfield then suffered a concussion while practicing for the
Brickyard 400. He missed two races recuperating from his injury and finished 24th in points. In 2001, Mayfield posted seven top-ten finishes but was fired following the race at
Kansas. Rusty Wallace's younger brother
Mike Wallace took over and came close to winning at
Phoenix before settling for second place to
Jeff Burton. ;Ryan Newman (2002–2008) in the No. 12 at
Bristol Motor Speedway in 2007
Ryan Newman and his
Alltel team took over the No. 12 car in 2002, although Mobil 1 stayed on as primary sponsor for several races per season. In his rookie year, Newman waged a spirited battle with
Jimmie Johnson for
NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors. Newman won
The Winston, and the fall event at
New Hampshire, as well as six poles. Although he did not win as many races as Johnson (one versus Johnson's three) and finished behind him in the points (sixth place, seven points behind fifth-place Johnson), he finished ahead of Johnson to win the Rookie of the Year honors. After the switch to
Dodge in 2003, Newman won eight races and eleven poles and finished sixth in points. In 2004, Newman won twice, earned nine pole positions, qualified for the inaugural
Chase for the Nextel Cup, and finished seventh in points. Newman finished 2005 with eight pole positions, but only one win. He qualified for the Chase for the Cup for the second year in a row and ended up sixth in the final standings. He failed to win a race and missed the Chase in both 2006 and 2007. However, he found himself back in the winner's circle early in 2008, taking victory in the 50th running of the
2008 Daytona 500 (the No. 2 of Kurt Busch finished second) to open the season, claiming Penske's first Daytona 500 win. Following the Daytona 500, the team struggled and Newman announced during the summer that he would leave to drive the No. 39
Chevrolet for
Stewart–Haas Racing. ;David Stremme (2009) The No. 12 car lost its sponsor in 2009 as Cellco Partners, a joint venture of
Verizon and
Vodafone, closed the deal to purchase Alltel in January 2009, thus voiding the terms of the grandfather clause that allowed the No. 12 car to run with a sponsor that is a direct competitor to that NASCAR series' sponsor,
Sprint Corporation. The team announced that they would move the Wireless sponsorship to the
IndyCar Series and the
NASCAR Nationwide Series and renamed the team to Verizon Championship Racing, a reference to Verizon Wireless' Penske-wide marketing through both its IndyCar and NASCAR sponsorships, complete with its heritage of champions (especially on Vodafone's side, as it was a sponsor of
Scuderia Ferrari). Penske hired
David Stremme to race the car in a largely unbranded fashion for 2009, but he did not produce results and was fired toward the end of the season. ;Brad Keselowski (2009–2010) in the No. 12 during the
2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350.
Brad Keselowski, who had recently signed with Penske when he was unable to procure a seat at
Hendrick Motorsports, took over the car toward the end of the 2009 season. He then ran the No. 12 full-time in 2010 unsponsored, although FloTV and
AAA sponsored several races. Keselowski moved to the No. 2 car following the season to replace Kurt Busch, who moved to the new No. 22. ;Part-time and hiatus (2011–2017) The No. 12 did not run any races in 2011. In 2012,
Sam Hornish Jr. drove the No. 12 at Kansas in April with
SKF sponsorship. The No. 12 was also scheduled to run at the October Talladega race with Hornish, but after the termination of
A. J. Allmendinger from the No. 22, Hornish replaced him full-time. Hornish's SKF sponsorship was transferred to the No. 22 for this race. In 2013, Hornish again qualified at Kansas but crashed out of the race in a multi-car wreck. He attempted the fall Talladega race but failed to make the race after qualifying was rained out. With Hornish leaving for
Joe Gibbs Racing, the part-time No. 12 was split by various Penske drivers in 2014. SKF sponsored three races, with
Ryan Blaney at Kansas in April and Talladega in October, and
Juan Pablo Montoya at Michigan in June. Montoya also drove the No. 12 in the Brickyard 400 with sponsorship from
Penske Truck Leasing. ;Ryan Blaney (2018–present) in the No. 12 at
Texas Motor Speedway in 2019. In June 2017, Penske implied that Blaney would soon drive a third Ford for Penske Racing. This was later confirmed a month later when they announced that Blaney would drive the No. 12 car in 2018, with
Paul Menard replacing him in the No. 21
Wood Brothers Racing car, continuing the technical alliance that the two teams have. Team Penske purchased the No. 12's charter from
Roush Fenway Racing, which had been leased to
JTG Daugherty Racing a year prior. Blaney started the
2018 season with a seventh-place finish at the
Daytona 500 and stayed consistent with five top-fives and eleven top-tens before qualifying in the Playoffs. He scored his first win with Team Penske at the
inaugural Charlotte Roval race after Jimmie Johnson and
Martin Truex Jr. spun out before the finish line. Following the
Kansas race, Blaney was eliminated after the Round of 12 of the Playoffs and finished the season tenth in points. In
2019, Blaney finished 31st at the
2019 Daytona 500. Despite not scoring a win during the regular season, he stayed consistent with seven top-fives and twelve top-ten finishes to make the Playoffs. He won at
Talladega, but was eliminated after the Round of 8 and finished the season seventh in points. The
2020 season started for Blaney with a second-place finish at the
2020 Daytona 500, which saw him dueling with
Ryan Newman on the final turn until late contact caused Newman to go airborne and collide with
Corey LaJoie; Newman sustained injuries that sidelined him for three months. Blaney won once again at
Talladega and scored eight top-fives and 11 top-10s to make his third Playoff appearance with Team Penske. He was eliminated after the Round of 16 and finished ninth in points. In
2021, Blaney finished 30th at the
2021 Daytona 500. He scored wins at
Atlanta,
Michigan, and the
Daytona night race, along with seven top-fives and 14 top-10 finishes to once again make the Playoffs. Blaney was eliminated after the Round of 8 and finished the season seventh in points. Blaney started the
2022 season with a fourth place finish at the
2022 Daytona 500. Despite scoring no wins in the first 13 races, he stayed consistent with four top-fives and six top-10 finishes. He also won the
2022 NASCAR All-Star Race. Despite being involved in a multi-car crash on lap 31 of the regular season finale at the
Daytona night race, Blaney rallied to finish 15th after avoiding
The Big One to clinch the 16th and final Playoff spot of the season, beating
Martin Truex Jr. by three points. Blaney was eliminated following the Round of 8 after finishing third at
Martinsville. Despite being winless, he finished the season eighth in the points standings. in the No. 12 at

2023 Coca-Cola 600. During the playoffs, Blaney scored his second win of the season at
Talladega. He finished sixth at
Las Vegas, but was disqualified after post-race inspection discovered a left-front damper that did not meet specifications; as a result, Blaney dropped to last-place and the bottom of the Round of 8 cutoff line. NASCAR later rescinded the penalty and restored Blaney's points after an issue was found with the damper template. Blaney won at
Martinsville to make the Championship 4. He finished second at
Phoenix to win the 2023 championship. Blaney started the
2024 season with a 30th place DNF at the

Shell and
Pennzoil came over to Penske and sponsored the newly renumbered No. 22 Cup car in 2011 with
Kurt Busch (who had previously driven the team's No. 2). The No. 22 shared the
Shell sponsorship with Penske's IndyCar driver
Hélio Castroneves. The team won two races at
Sonoma and Dover and made the Chase, but poor finishes during the Chase left Busch eleventh in points. Busch and Penske Racing agreed to mutually part December 5, 2011. though there was strong speculation that he was fired for an incident involving reporter
Jerry Punch that was caught on amateur video. ;A. J. Allmendinger and Sam Hornish Jr. (2012) On December 21, 2011,
A. J. Allmendinger was announced as the driver for the 2012 season, moving over from
Richard Petty Motorsports. He would team up with newly promoted crew chief Todd Gordon after the departure of
Steve Addington to Stewart–Haas Racing. Allmendinger got off to a slow start to the season but took advantage of a late wreck among the leaders to finish second at Martinsville. After he failed a drug test before the July Daytona race, he was removed from the car. Penske Nationwide series driver
Sam Hornish Jr. was named as the replacement for the remainder of the season. Hornish challenged for a win at Watkins Glen, and ended up finishing fifth. After failing to record another top-10 finish, Penske removed him from the car at the season's end. ;Joey Logano (2013–present) 's
2016 Ford Fusion at
Charlotte Motor Speedway On September 4, 2012,
Joey Logano was announced as Hornish's replacement in the No. 22 car in 2013. Logano became the fourth driver of the No. 22 in three years, but had a successful 2013 season, making the Chase, and returned in 2014, becoming the first driver to return to the No. 22 car for more than a single season. Logano won five races in 2014, two more than in his entire previous career, and made the Championship round of the revamped Chase, only to suffer pit road miscues at Homestead that relegated him to fourth in the standings. won the
2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship. Logano then began the 2015 season by winning the
Daytona 500. He then won five further races, including repeat wins in the Bristol Night Race and the Kansas Chase race, part of a streak of three wins in a row that allowed him to sweep the Contender round of the 2015 Chase. However, a feud with
Matt Kenseth derailed Logano's season when Kenseth wrecked him out of the lead at Martinsville; heavy damage from a blown tire the next week at Texas and his failure to win at Phoenix resulted in Logano's elimination from the Chase. Logano's 2016 season saw him making it back to Homestead, this time with three wins (Michigan, Talladega, Phoenix) with a shot to win the title. Logano was able to get past a late-race incident with Carl Edwards and finished second in the standings behind
Jimmie Johnson. Logano's 2017 run was a disappointment. He won the
spring Richmond race, but the victory was encumbered after his car was revealed to have a rear suspension issue during post-race inspection. This was followed by a string of disappointing finishes, which resulted in Logano missing the Playoffs and finishing 17th in the standings. The 2018 season saw the No. 22 returning to competitive form, winning the
spring Talladega race and securing the team in the Playoffs. A win at the
fall Martinsville race locked Logano in the Championship 4. Logano won the
2018 Ford EcoBoost 400 and became the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion. For the
2019 season, Logano scored wins at the
Gander RV Duel 2 at Daytona and at
Las Vegas. At
Martinsville, Hamlin collided with Logano on turn four, squeezing Logano into the outside wall and causing him to lose a tire and spin out two laps later. Despite the damage, Logano finished eighth. After the race, Logano and Hamlin discussed the incident before Logano slapped Hamlin's right shoulder, sparking a fight between the two. NASCAR suspended Dave Nichols Jr., the No. 22 team's tire technician, for one race for pulling Hamlin down to the ground during the altercation. Logano was eliminated from the playoffs after the Round of 8 and finished the season fifth in points. Logano started the

Car No. 22 results Car No. 33 history ;Austin Cindric (2021) #33 cup car at
Indianapolis in 2021 In October 2020, Team Penske announced that
Austin Cindric would begin racing in the Cup Series in 2021 on a part-time basis before moving to a full-time ride with
Team Penske, driving the 2 car in 2022. As part of his limited 2021 schedule, he entered the
Daytona 500 in a fourth Penske entry with the No. 33 and sponsorship from Verizon 5G.
Car No. 33 results Car No. 77 history ;Brendan Gaughan (2004) In 2004, Penske merged one of their teams with Jasper Motorsports, owned by Doug Bawel. As per the merger, Penske took 51% ownership of the No. 77 with Bawel as listed owner, and
Brendan Gaughan was hired as the driver. The car was renumbered to No. 77, with
Kodak sponsoring. Gaughan had four top-ten finishes and finished 28th in points in his rookie year, coming close to a victory at Watkins Glen in the summer of 2004. Although Gaughan impressed many as a rookie, Penske stunned the racing world by dismissing him at the season's end. Bawel would later say in an October 2019 interview that it was because Penske was not satisfied with Gaughan's progress in the sport. ;Travis Kvapil (2005) Gaughan was immediately replaced by
Travis Kvapil in 2005.
Kodak continued to sponsor the team, though
Mobil 1 came on to sponsor one race. Kvapil had two top-tens and finished 33rd in points. The No. 77 team shut down for the next two years due to a lack of sponsorship. ;Sam Hornish Jr. (2008–2010) in the No. 77 at
Daytona in
2008. In late 2007, Penske Racing announced that the No. 77 team would return to racing with
Mobil 1 as a sponsor and that
Sam Hornish Jr., one of Penske's IndyCar series drivers, would switch to NASCAR full-time and drive the car in 2008. The team underwent a points swap with Kurt Busch's No. 2 car to guarantee Hornish a spot in the first five races while allowing Busch to qualify automatically if necessary with his Past Champion's Provisional starts. The team did the same in 2009 as
Bill Davis (formerly of
Bill Davis Racing) sold the owner points from his No. 22 Toyota to Penske, which guaranteed Hornish a spot in the first five races of the season. Hornish's performance improved enough this year that the No. 77 ended the year in the top 35 in owner points.
