In a race that was won by a choice on pit road, rather than by speed on the race track, Joey Logano parlayed a strategic late-race call into victory in Saturday’s 5-Hour Energy 200 Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway.
Logano trailed race leader Kyle Busch by five seconds with 40 laps left, but a two-tire under the fifth and final caution got Logano out front for a restart with 34 laps left, while a four-tire choice on the same pit stop buried Kyle Busch in traffic and changed the course of the race.

Another day in the office for Kyle Busch, results in breaking yet another record!
Kyle Busch continues to rewrite Nationwide Series records with a dominating performance in the History 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon. Busch successfully held off Kasey Kahne during the last 13-laps to win his sixth race of nine starts in the 2013 season and a record-breaking seventh win at CMS for the series. Continue reading
Trent Cherry, also known as ‘Twitch’ around the garage, is a proven leader as Pit Crew Coach and with 15-years under his belt at Penske Racing. He knows what it takes as a member of a successful team because he’s also the rear-tire carrier for the #22-Joey Logano team. Although Trent is now on the #22 crew, he’s also been part of the #2 team for most of his career.
Hailing from Charlotte, NC, Trent Cherry began his working experience packaging t-shirts for his dad’s company. So, he’s certainly at home in NASCAR’s racing hub.
When he’s not performing his duties within the Penske organization, Trent is also working behind the scenes representing all NASCAR Sprint Cup crews via pittalks.com, helping to keep the site updated and featuring various Pit Crew members every week.
As for his favorite racing memory, Trent recalls winning the 2002 All-Star race with Ryan Newman. They raced their way into the event and despite starting in last place, the team worked hard and won the All-Star race!
In his spare time, Trent enjoys playing poker and says that Las Vegas is his favorite track. Of course, that’s not because of the on-track racing; instead its his pursuit of a Royal Flush off the track.
Trent Cherry is definitely ‘One of a Kind’ and our guest on Fan4Racing Fan2Fan NASCAR Talk, Monday, May 20th, 2013. The show starts at 8:30pm ET and fans can call 347-996-5176 to take part in Q&As during the LIVE broadcast.
