Joey Logano
Joey Logano is a three-time Cup Series champion in 2018, 2022, and 2024, establishing himself as one of the most clutch performers in NASCAR playoff history. From Middletown, CT, Logano drives the No. 22 Ford for Team Penske with 37 career Cup victories. Once the youngest winner in what is now the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, Logano's ability to elevate his performance when championships are on the line has become his defining trait.
About Joey Logano
Three Cup Series championships (2018, 2022, and 2024) make Joey Logano one of the most decorated drivers of his generation, and the kid they once called Sliced Bread has long since proven that the hype was warranted. With 38 wins across 570 starts, Logano has built a career defined by big-moment performances and an aggressive racing style that thrives under pressure. He arrived in the Cup Series as a teenager at Joe Gibbs Racing, struggled through growing pains that tested his confidence, then found his footing at Team Penske and never looked back. The move to Penske transformed Logano from a talented prospect into a championship-caliber closer, a driver who raises his game when the stakes are highest. Logano has won at every type of track on the circuit (superspeedways, short tracks, intermediates, and road courses), demonstrating the versatility that championship drivers require. His Talladega record is particularly impressive, with his ability to navigate the chaos of pack racing with a blend of aggression and strategic awareness that few can match. His willingness to move competitors out of the way has earned him both admirers and detractors, but three titles silence any debate about his place among the sport's elite. Logano does not apologize for racing hard, and in a sport that rewards boldness, his approach has delivered results that speak louder than any criticism.
