Penske Racing has announced that Jay Guy and Paul Wolfe have joined the organization as crew chiefs to work with driver Brad Keselowski for the 2010 NASCAR season.
Guy will be Keselowski's Sprint Cup crew chief, while Wolfe will serve as crew chief for his full-time entry in the Nationwide Series.
Guy, 36, most recently worked as the crew chief on the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing car driven by Regan Smith in Cup competition. A native of Lancaster, Penn., Guy has worked in NASCAR’s Truck, Nationwide and Cup series.
“I am really excited to join Penske Racing, and I’m looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead with the No. 12 Penske Dodge team,” Guy said in a news release. “Over the years, the No. 12 team has had a lot of success, including winning the 2008 Daytona 500, and we certainly want to build on that tradition of winning. Brad is one of the most talented drivers in NASCAR, and we will work together to develop his skills and make this team the best it can be.”
Wolfe, 32, raced in the Nationwide Series. He completed his fourth season as a crew chief this year, working with the Nationwide CJM Racing entry with drivers Scott Lagasse Jr., Denny Hamlin and others.
“The chance to work with Penske Racing and a driver as skilled as Brad is a tremendous opportunity,” Wolfe said. “With the team that we will have in place, we know that 2010 will be a special season for the No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge, and we will work hard to make sure we are ready to meet the challenge.”
Keselowski said he was pleased with his new lineup.
“Both Jay and Paul have a lot of experience throughout all levels of motorsports competition, and they each seem to get the most out of the teams and drivers that they work with,” Keselowski said. “I’m really looking forward to working with Jay next season in my first full season of Cup series competition … We are also excited to race for the Nationwide Series title with Paul."
Roy McCauley, who has served as a Cup series crew chief for the past four years with the Penske team, will remain with the organization and assume a leadership role.
