Penske Racing’s Pat Tryson Wins Nascar Moog ‘Problem Solver’ Award at Daytona 500

Pat Tryson, crew chief for Penske Racing’s #2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger, won the Nascar Moog “Problem Solver of the Race” Award for his impressive performance in the pits during last week’s Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Southfield, Mich.

Sponsored by Federal-Mogul Corporation, the Moog “Problem Solver of the Race” Award is presented throughout the Sprint Cup Series season to the crew chief whose team posts the largest increase in average lap speed from the first half to the second half of a race. The race, however, was red-flagged due to rain after 152 of the 200 scheduled laps.

“Sometimes even a short day on the track can make for a long and very challenging day for the crew,” said Federal-Mogul Motorsports Director Tim Nelson. “Pat did an outstanding job of making chassis and tire adjustments throughout the race to help keep Kurt within striking distance of the lead. Then, after the crash, he and his crew somehow got the car back into shape for a strong run over the closing laps.”
