The Farm System is looking good

Just like in baseball, a lot of young talent if brought up thru the ranks before they actually get to the Cup Series.  In baseball you have single A, AA and AAA.  In racing you have Arca, Nationwide, and Trucks.  At the moment I think Penske is doing a good job of getting some good young talent into the system and starting to see some results.  This past weekend Parker Kligerman sat on the pole at his first Nationwide race and Justin Algier finished fifth during the race.  I’ve been lucky enough to be part of both teams during the year and I think both guys have a big future at Penske.  Both these guys have won at various levels of racing and in the next few years it should be cool to see their success. 

                As far as the chase goes, I think the 2 car is flying under the radar.  They have a very good team and driver.  As long as you can keep finishing top ten and avoid the DNF’s I think this year’s championship could come down to the last race with 5 cars having a chance to win it.  Already this year the competition is closer than it was last year.  Hopefully the 2 car can continue their success and have a chance going into the last race of the year.
