Brad Keselowski hopes a change in the culture of his pit crew will help propel his #2 Team Penske Ford back into championship contention. After winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title in 2012, Keselowski missed the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup last year, for a variety of reasons. But the most readily identifiable weakness of the #2 team showed up during pit stops. During the offseason, Team Penske took measures to correct the deficiency. Keselowski’s Ford will have two new tire changers and a new tire carrier this year. In addition, owner Roger Penske has hired former University at Buffalo wrestling coach Jim Beichner to oversee the training and conditioning of the pit crews.(NASCAR Wire Service)(1-30-2014)
