Mooresville, NC (Best E Casino) - Matt Borland, crew chief for Ryan Newman's No.12 Dodge over the last seven years, will stay at Penske Racing though no job title or job description has been finalized, said team president Don Miller.

"He told Roger (Penske) that under no circumstances does he want to leave, because Roger gave him the option," Miller stated to Scenedaily.com.

Borland will likely oversee the competition department for both Newman and the No.2 Kurt Busch Dodge.

Between 2001 and 2005 Newman finished no lower than seventh in the final standings. This year the team struggled to an 18th-place finish.
