Dent Wizard Celebrates Team Penske’s Historic Phoenix Victory

Dent Wizard is proud to celebrate an unforgettable weekend for Team Penske as Ryan Blaney drove the No. 12 Dent Wizard Ford Mustang Dark Horse to Victory Lane at Phoenix Raceway, securing a thrilling NASCAR Cup Series win during one of the most historic race weekends in Team Penske history.

The victory capped off a remarkable NASCAR and INDYCAR doubleheader weekend, where Team Penske delivered a “Penske Perfect” sweep in Phoenix — capturing both poles, a stage win, and victories across both series.

For Dent Wizard, the win represents more than just a race result. It’s a powerful reflection of a long-standing partnership built on precision, performance, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Perseverance Powers the No. 12 Dent Wizard Team

The race quickly turned into a test of perseverance. Pit road challenges and a loose wheel forced the team to fight back through the field multiple times, dropping Blaney outside the top 20 at one point.

But the No. 12 team never wavered.

Crew chief Jonathan Hassler made a bold late-race call to take two tires during the final pit stop, setting Blaney up for a charge to the front. With 10 laps remaining, Blaney made the decisive pass for the lead and held off competitors down the stretch to secure his 18th career NASCAR Cup Series victory.

Blaney’s ability to fight back through the field wasn’t just on display in Phoenix — it’s been a defining strength throughout the 2026 season. Recently recognized in NASCAR Insights as the sport’s “Best Passer,” Blaney has led the field in passing efficiency, consistently finding ways to move forward even in chaotic race conditions. His ability to slice through traffic has become a competitive advantage, allowing him to recover from setbacks and position himself for late-race opportunities.

This win marked Blaney’s second consecutive victory at Phoenix Raceway and completed a landmark weekend for the organization, as it also marked Team Penske’s 23rd victory at Phoenix Raceway during the organization’s 60th anniversary season.

This unified performance helped deliver one of the most successful weekends in Team Penske history.

A Partnership Built on Precision

Dent Wizard’s partnership with Team Penske goes far beyond race day branding.

With approximately 100 Dent Wizard cosmetic technicians working across Penske Automotive Group locations nationwide, the relationship represents a deep operational partnership focused on delivering quality and consistency across the automotive industry.

Just as the No. 12 team relies on precision engineering and flawless execution on the track, Dent Wizard technicians bring the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail to every repair they perform.

The sponsorship of the No. 12 Dent Wizard Ford Mustang Dark Horse not only supports Team Penske’s racing efforts but also highlights the important role Dent Wizard plays across the broader Penske ecosystem—protecting vehicle appearance, supporting dealership operations, and ensuring vehicles look their best.

Driving Forward Together

The Phoenix victory serves as a proud moment for Dent Wizard and the entire Team Penske organization.

From the racetrack to dealership service lanes across the country, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to performance, reliability, and delivering exceptional results.

As the 2026 NASCAR season continues, Dent Wizard looks forward to continuing the journey alongside Team Penske and the No. 12 team as they pursue more wins throughout the season.
