If you want evidence that Joey Logano is a special athlete, just ask his crew chief.
Todd Gordon continues to be impressed with Logano’s ability to deal with intense pressure.
True enough, Logano won Sunday’s Can-Am 500 elimination race at Phoenix International Raceway to advance to the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. And before he took the checkered flag, he kept Kevin Harvick behind him in a race for third place that could have been decisive, had a late caution not given Logano the opportunity to win.
“Joey is phenomenal about elevating,” Gordon said after the win. “There’s very few professional athletes that can elevate to that level when the pressure comes on, and Joey has done it time and time again.
“I think kudos to him.”
