DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Passing the torch from father to son is one of the most time-honored and fulfilling experiences there is. For Trevor and Ryley Seibert that is what the 2013 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 is about. The bulk of Trevors career, that has included a stint in the Firestone Indy Lights series, is in his rearview mirror while 21-year-old Ryley is just embarking on his career that extends beyond the local level. "I race for the enjoyment of it at this point," said the elder Seibert. "And to gauge where Ryley is in his development. Its not necessarily about beating me, but more to see how he reacts to things and matures as a racer." While the plan for advancement is not quite as accelerated as Ryley would like, it is one that is pragmatic and based on acquired skills. "He needs to earn his way and learn the business," Trevor stated. "Were just not going to move up for the sake of moving up. Hes going to need to prove that he belongs and can handle it. More is accomplished by earning it rather than having it handed to you. So, thats how were lking at it." "I want to do more and more, but I understand where my (father) is coming from," Ryley said. "I get impatient, but its definitely the best way to go." As a series rkie of the year contender, the younger Seibert has been to the top-finishing rkie in three of the four events this season and holds a slim lead over Alex Guenette in the rkie standings. Coming into the season the younger Seibert had five Canadian Tire Series starts under his belt. "I think the progression has been gd," said Ryley. "Theres lots of rm for improvement, but there always is." The Seiberts out of Williams Lake, B.C., get to compete before their home fans this week in the A&W Cruisin The Dub 300 on Saturday, July 13 at Motoplex Speedway and Event Park in Vernon, B.C. Doing well there has a number of benefits. "Winning in front of friends and family is always special. Bragging rights are pretty fun, t," said Trevor. "From a business point of view its gd, as well. Sponsorship can come from some pretty strange places sometimes and local connections are often gd for that." Ryley competes regularly at Motoplex in the local divisions and he would like nothing more than to put on a great show for his rivals there. "It would be huge to have a great run there," said Ryley.

The win was the 100th for the organization at NASCARs top level.To get to victory lane, his other driver offered an assist in the closing laps. Unrelated, he also spun another driver on the last lap to create another round of hard feelings.So instead of basking in the triumph of victory while wearing a champagne-soaked white shirt, Roger Penske was borderline angry in his impassioned defense of drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano.Keselowskis victory Saturday night was his third of the season, first at Daytona after years of struggles on the high-banked superspeedway. He got a late push on a final restart from Logano, who then irked Kurt Busch when contact on the final lap sent Busch spinning through the grass.Busch, a former Penske driver, called it an aggressive mistake, but his crew chief Tony Gibson fumed on Twitter: Stupid is as stupid does!!!Penske thought it was unfair.Joey has taken, I think, some undue criticism from my perspective, the team owner said. I could name three or four things that certainly werent his fault. Hes one of the best drivers on the racetrack out there day in and day out, and sure, people make mistakes. A lot of these drivers can knock somebody off the track, and they say, `Hey, Im sorry. They dont let Logano do that.As far as Im concerned, Im behind him 300 percent, and Ill talk to Kurt, he didnt do it on purpose. ... At the end of the day, thats racing, as far as Im concerned.Indeed, Logano has taken his share of hazing from many veterans during his rapid rise into NASCAR. He was famous before hed ever turned a lap, hyped as the next big thing, and many drivers tk umbrage to the family wealth that eased his road to NASCARs top level.Penske is used to defending Logano, who was recruited to the team by Keselowski three years ago when Keselowski was unselfish enough to lk past a teammate who could match him on the track and saw only a talent who could strengthen the organization.Penske is also used to defending Keselowski, who is outspoken and doesnt back down from anything. Unlike Logano, he had to claw his way through the racing ranks, and after fighting for everything hes earned, he wont bow to anyone.But Penske apparently didnt feel like he needed to defend Keselowski on Saturday night. Already annoyed with the Logano flap, he misinterpreted a question about Keselowskis racing smarts and seemed to snap.Hes a calculating guy, and youre not with him every day like we are in the shop, (seeing) what he brings to the race team, Penske said..dddddddddddd He came early on, he said, `Lk, Im going to help you get a championship team. We did that. He helped to attract (crew chief) Paul Wolfe to the team.This is not a popularity contest, and anybody that thinks it is, you know, shouldnt be sitting here. This is racing, and unfortunately some people have different ideas. But lk, I wouldnt trade these two drivers for anyone. Theyre young, theyre aggressive, they win races. They work well with the sponsors, and theyre high integrity guys, so move on from there.Make no mistake, Captain, most owners would kill for your lineup.Keselowski recruited Logano to the team the season after Keselowski delivered Penske his first Sprint Cup title. Since his 2013 arrival, Logano and Keselowski have combined for 24 Cup wins. Theyve won another 21 races in the Xfinity Series, which Penske uses to develop team personnel and give sponsors a sampling of the organization at a lower price than the Cup level.Theyve helped develop Ryan Blaney, a future star in NASCAR who has been loaned to the Wd Brothers along with the several crew members who are preparing for the top level.And they probably should have given Penske another two titles.Keselowski was the class of the field in 2014, when he won six races, but had late bumps in the debut of the elimination format in NASCARs playoffs. Despite a win and four top-four finishes in the final five races, he was denied a shot to race for the title.It was Logano who led the Penske charge last season. He won the Daytona 500 and three consecutive races in the Chase. But a feud with Matt Kenseth wouldnt go away and Kenseth intentionally wrecked him in an act of retaliation that ultimately kept Logano out of the championship finale.So its understandable that Penske is tired of the bad rap his drivers receive. Theyve proven to be among the elite talent in NASCAR, and their contributions to the storied Penske organization are immeasurable.Together, in this 50th anniversary season of Team Penske, Keselowski and Logano are a massive part of the 100th win.The 100th in NASCAR is something special, Penske said. Its a byproduct of all the gd people we have, and to me weve got to continue to remember that. We lose more than we win in this business, and youve got to know how to deal with the downs and take advantage of the ups.Weve competed in multiple series, and I think were almost at 450 wins now, and were, I think, three or four away from 500 poles. Our goal is 500 and 500. This was the first step to get to 100 in NASCAR. ' ' '
