Penske Racing has added Greg Erwin as crew chief of the #12 Ford Mustang driven by Sam Hornish, Jr. in the Nationwide Series. Erwin joins the Penske Racing team after most recently serving as the crew chief for Richard Petty Motorsports’ #43 Ford Fusion in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The move will give Hornish a veteran’s perspective as he competes in his second full season in the Nationwide Series.
The native of Defiance, Ohio finished fourth in the Nationwide Series standings in 2012 after recording 10 top-five and 22 top-10 finishes in 33 starts. Erwin comes to Penske Racing with vast experience with some of NASCAR’s top teams including Roush Fenway Racing where he teamed with Greg Biffle to win five (5) races and qualified for the Chase for the Sprint Cup in three (3) consecutive years.
