NASCAR Nationwide Series

The Carfax 250 at Michigan International Speedway will mark the second race of the 2010 season for the NASCAR Nationwide Series “new car”. The car is designed to be safer and more similar to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series current car. The car is also more economical for the teams and branded better for the fans. The first NASCAR Nationwide Series “new car” event took place in July at Daytona International Speedway for the Subway Jalapeno 250, where Joey and the number 20 team finished second to Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Logano has only one start in the Nationwide series at the Michigan International Speedway, it came in the 2008 Carfax 250 where Joey started 6th, and finished in the 7th position.

Joey Logano Quotes

“I’m pretty excited to get to see what the Nationwide Series new car is going to do at Michigan. It will be a lot different then at Daytona, where it is all about the draft, bump drafting and making the right moves. Now, we’ll actually get into working on more of the handling characteristics of the car and see how it is going to react to different changes. Hopefully, because of the bigger wheelbase and the construction of the cars, they will handle a little more like the Cup cars and that will give the No. 20 team a bit of an advantage.

“I am pretty pumped following our run last week. I know it really had the guys pumped up too after the race. We came into Watkins Glen just hoping to survive about come out of there with a top-10 or possibly a top-five and we got a second-place run. And we were that good too. So I think that really helped my confidence and really helped the confidence of the team. But we are not going to settle for second-place anymore. I just realized that we have finished second five times so far this year. What do they say? ‘Always the bridesmaid and never the bride,’ or something like that. I think we are ready to be the one with all of the attention on us for a change.

“I got to see what the new car is going to look like with the GameStop colors on it and its pretty sweet. Those black and red colors always look good on the car, but it just really fits on the new car as well. We need to get the car into Victory Lane now. That is the goal for this weekend. To get GameStop back in Victory Lane and let all of the GameStop guests in attendance have a little bit of fun with us while we celebrate the win.”
