Team Penske has made changes to Ryan Blaney’s No. 12 pit crew ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway. Blaney will have a new jackman, Graham Stoddard, from Front Row Motorsports at Kansas, as reported by Bozi Tatarevic. This comes after the No. 12 pit crew’s struggles to start the 2026 NASCAR season.
Landon Honeycutt will join Wood Brothers Racing since Patrick Gray can’t compete this weekend. Therefore, Stoddard will come over from Noah Gragson’s No. 4 team at Front Row Motorsports. Meanwhile, Tommy Bebie will go from Cody Ware’s No. 51 team for Rick Ware Racing to Gragson.

The No. 12 pit crew for Team Penske has been a liability and impacting Blaney’s ability to maximize races. Now, Stoddard hopes to stabilize the scene and put Blaney’s pit crew back in the mix.
