CHAMPION’S TALE QUESTIONS Available Online 24/7 at www.thewestfieldnews.com/classifieds & ATTITUDE

Compelling questions ... and Logano flew under the maybe a few actual answers radar for 2018 Cup title The Indy 500 win with driver Will Power was among Roger Penske’s 2018 accomplishments as team owner. [AP/DARRON CUMMINGS]

Have we overlooked the Captain’s great 2018 season?

Over five-plus decades, Roger Penske has become so synonymous with success, it can be easy to overlook the recent trophies he’s stashed into the bulging display case. Even at 81, he’s hardly just a figurehead owner, but very much a part of team strategies and logistics. This past year, the Captain was clicking on all cylinders. Consider the spoils: The Indy 500 win with Will Power, Australia’s V8 Super- car championship with Scott McLaughlin, and NASCAR’s Cup championship with Joey Logano.

What, there’s a down side?

Well, yes, in a way, though it’s not Penske’s fault. Many bemoan the lack of new blood New NASCAR champion Joey Logano did the customary photo op at the Vegas strip gateway during NASCAR Champion’s Week.
