PENSKE 60: Throughout its 60 years, Team Penske has employed some of the biggest names in motorsports. One of those names that few may remember is American Motorcycle Association legend and two-time Baja 1000 winner, Ricky Johnson. Johnson made three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts under the Team Penske banner in 1996, with the first coming at Portland International Raceway where he finished 25th after retiring early due to an oil leak.  

THEY SAID IT: "The Verizon Chevy is really good. We had the speed to transfer to the Firestone Fast Six. The driver just made a few too many, small mistakes. Small mistakes are all it takes at this place where everyone is on top of each other. We'll take our grid penalty in the morning and start working our way forward."
