Logano Locked-in on NASCAR’s Biggest Stage

If the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is a stage, then Joey Logano is its leading man.

Logano has proven ‘the moment’ isn’t too big for him.

A year after posting the best average finish during the 2014 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (6.4), Logano has won the first two races of the 2015 Contender Round and is the only driver guaranteed to advance to the Eliminator 8 Round heading into Sunday’s CampingWorld.com 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. His average finish in the Chase this year – 4.2. For context, the best average finish through an entire Chase was Carl Edwards’ 4.9, set during the last ten races of 2011.

On the season, Logano has tied his career-best total in wins and has set career highs in top-fives with 19, top-tens with 25 and Coors Light Pole Awards with five. His win at Kansas marked the first time in his career he’s recorded consecutive victories.

Logano noted how nice it is to relax going into Talladega, but the next round presents challenges. Continue reading →

Depending on which side of the fence a fan stands has a lot to do with their perspective of what happens in any competitive event and at Kansas Speedway in the fifth Chase race for the NASCAR Sprint Cup title, that remains the same. Everyone has their opinion of what took place between Joey Logano and Matt Kenseth and emotions are spilling over into debates about who was right or wrong.

The main question in discussion is whether this is just ‘hard racing’ toward a championship title, where title competitors are going all out to gain an advantage against their competition. In reality, the goal of all Chase competitors is to gain an advantage to win the title.  The real question lies in clarifying what is acceptable ‘hard racing’ and what crosses the line to unacceptable?   Continue reading →

Block me once, and I’ll cut you some slack.

Block me twice — and it’s ‘Gotcha.’

That, in essence, was the conversation on Joey Logano’s team radio after Logano spun race leader Matt Kenseth in turn one with less than five laps left in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.

Logano went on to win the race after a green-white-checkered-flag restart that sent the race two laps past its scheduled distance of 267 laps. The driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford has monopolized the Contender Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, having won back-to-back races at Charlotte and Kansas. Continue reading →
