A rarity: running up front on a super speedway paid off for Penske. Austin Cindric, Joey Logano, and Ryan Blaney are the three top drivers by average running position since Cindric made his debut. It's a boom or bust strategy, and Penske has used it do booming success, winning a quarter of super speedway races since 2021, compared to 12% of races on non-supers.
