From time to time Joey Logano writes an entry for his Journal at the Home Depot Racing website, here is the latest entry that was written Tuesday, June 30, 2009.

Can you believe I won at New Hampshire? I’m not sure it has all hit me yet, well except for the seven hours of media I did yesterday. I don’t think it could have happened in a better place. I grew up not too far from there, so I saw my first Cup race at New Hampshire. Then I had my first Cup start last fall and now my first win. Just all seems to make sense. It was also my 20th Cup start, that’s weird isn’t it? This reminds me, I have to thank all the fans and especially The Home Depot Associates that have supported me. The good news is next year you don’t have to vote me into the All Star race, we will be in it!

Ok, back to the race. I had no idea I was even leading until my spotter Mark told me when the caution came out. Then I never thought the rain would go my way. I figured it would stop and we would have to pit. Zippy and I never talked about it during the red flag, we were talking about the race up to that point and the changes we would need to make when it went green again. Jeff Gordon came up to my window and said congratulations. I was like “please don’t jinx me!” David Ruetimann came over and told me he found it best to stay at the car. Heck if it worked for him I wasn’t moving! Kyle and Tony came over too, it was cool to get that support from my peers. The neatest thing was that the fans cheered when the race was called. They were all standing at the fence line clapping and hollering. Usually they are ticked when the race gets called due to rain.

This win also takes off some pressure. What I didn’t want to tell anyone is I really wanted to break that age record. Plus, Zippy and The Home Depot Team have won at least one race over the last 10 years, I was terrified I was going to break that streak. Seeing them in victory lane, plus my family was awesome. It’s not the way I thought I would get my first Cup win, but I will certainly take it. Like Zippy and I both said, “sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.” By the time we got done with all the media and I got to the plane I had 40 text messages and 15 voice mails. Again, thank you everyone that reads this and has supported me, it means a lot. Hopefully you will have plenty more to cheer for soon.
