By winning his second IndyCar title today, @josefnewgarden became the fifth driver to win more than one championship for @Team_Penske, and the list he joins as drivers to win more than one championship for Penske is illustrious, to say the least.
Others to win more than one IndyCar championship for @Team_Penske: Tom Sneva, Rick Mears, Al Unser, & Gil deFerran. All of them won the Indianapolis 500 for Penske, except Sneva, who got his Indy win for legendary mechanic George Bignotti (over @Team_Penske's two stars) in 1983.
Of note, the only driver among those to have won more than one title for @Team_Penske that won a championship driving for another team was Al Unser, who dominated on his way to the title in 1970 for Vel's-Parnelli Jones Racing, which then won the title in 1971-'72 w/Joe Leonard.
