After a few weeks of numerous pit road mishaps and passing some 100 cars on the track as Ryan Blaney worked his way back to the front of the field, Team Penske has made some moves on the number 12 pit crew.
Graham Stoddard moves over from Noah Gragson’s number four crew and joins the crew as the jackman on the number 12 pit crew.
Replacing Landon Honeycutt, Stoddard’s joining the 12 pit crew begins a musical jackman among several teams.
Landon Honeycutt moves over to serve as jackman for the Wood Brothers number 21 car driven by Josh Berry replacing Patrick Gray. Wood Brothers has an alliance with Team Penske.
There is no word on Gray’s fate.
Tommy Bebie comes over from Rick Ware Racing and Cody Ware’s number 51 car to take over as jackman for Noah Gragson’s number four car.
While Ryan Blaney sits in second place in the point standings and has notched six top 10 finishes in eight races including a win; his pit crew has ranked among the lowest in the Cup Series rankings.
Ryan Blaney has finished in the top five in two of the past three Cup Series races at Kansas Speedway.
