After a few years under the No 12 Penske banner, Ryan Newman is moving out of the car at the end of the year. After much speculation, Penske Racing finally decided upon it's driver for the 2009 and hired David Stremme to drive the No 12 car in '09.
Additionally, Alltell has just signed/ renewed a multiyear deal with Penske.
This is awesome for Stremme. After getting the boot from Ganassi racing due to sponsorship woes, he took a ride with Rusty Wallace racing in the Nationwide series and a job as a test driver for Penske racing.
David held out from some other Cup offers, looking for the right ride. For him, he's got it.
But the question in my mind is, will Penske Racing give the No. 12 car the focus it's been due for some time now? No one is ever gotten that car off the points ground, and it just seems to be on the back burner under the Penske roof while the No 2 car has the star or star potential. Is it a fluke or intentional hyper-focus?
Let's see what David can do.
