Penske Racing officials have announced that David Stremme has joined the team as a test driver, effective immediately.
 
In this role, Stremme will participate in Penske Racing’s testing program to prepare cars for Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and Sam Hornish Jr. and accelerate the understanding of the new NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Dodge Charger that is making its full-season debut this year.
 
“It’s a rare opportunity to have someone of David’s caliber to work with Kurt, Ryan and Sam to help us improve our NASCAR Sprint Cup program,” said Tim Cindric, president, Penske Performance Inc. “David raced the new car and understands what it takes to compete at the highest levels.”
 
Stremme, 30, has made 74 starts in the Cup Series since 2005. In 2008, Stremme has made seven starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, posting one two top-five and four top-10 finishes, driving for Rusty Wallace Racing.
 
“It’s an honor to be working with an organization with as much history and heritage as Penske Racing,” said Stremme.  “I look forward to a lot of productive testing, so I can assist their NASCAR teams to run up front, make the Chase [For The NASCAR Sprint Cup] and hopefully win many championships in the future.”
 
Stremme will continue his role as a driver for Rusty Wallace Racing, where he will be running the majority of the NASCAR Nationwide Series races during the 2008 season.
