NASCAR Xfinity Series Crew Chief Greg Erwin Tops the Owner Point Standings for Team Penske

With five races in the books the teams that are the ones to beat have risen to the top, but they can’t get there without the leadership of a good crew chief. Take a look at the crew chief that has his team leading the Xfinity Series owner point standings:

Greg Erwin replaced Jeremy Bullins this season at the top of the pit box for Team Penske’s No. 22 Ford with drivers Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney.
