Joey Logano Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 Post Race Comments

Wendy Venturini: I am standing by with Joey Logano, young driver here that just finished that Arca Remax Series race, finished second Joey, man what a Shootout in that first race of your day today.

Joey Logano: “Yeah, We tried, we tried, we did everything we could, we got down a lap, got it back, and just digging on our way up there, and then had the green and white at the same time, it’s just hard to pass someone while you are trying to get up to speed. Tried laying back, and getting the run down the back straightaway, and just stalled out. The whole home depot crew did a great job there tonight, and you know I gotta thank the Venturini’s, and your brother Billy Venturini, I was trying to get him the win tonight, but just came a up a little short tonight.

Video Clips of Joey Logano’s Arca Test Session

Logano practiced in the number 25 car, owned by Venturini Motorsports. Logano’s fastest lap time was 50.273, which equaled an average speed of 179.702.

Logano has never raced at Daytona, and come February, 7, 2009, he will attempt to make his first start Daytona International Speedway.

When February 17 comes, the young 18 year old Joey Logano, will have to pull off a Saturday night doubleheader.

When asked about his busy DIRECTV Speedweeks 2009 schedule, Joey Logano said, “I’m doing it”. “I’m running both races and then I’ve got the Nationwide race with the Game Stop Toyota and then running the Cup race with the Home Depot Toyota. Between all that, I’ve got my hands full.”

Not to mention the fact that Joey Logano will also be in the Daytona Gatorade Duel 150 mile qualifying races. Add all of that up, and Logano will be racing in a total of five events.

Joey also said that he is trying to get as many laps as he can, and he is trying to learn as much as he can. “I’ve got a big year ahead on the Cup side, I am doing whatever I can do to make myself better.”

There is also a chance for Logano to make some historical records. Most notable being the record for the youngest driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup, Daytona 500 race. The record was set by four time sprint cup champion Jeff Gordon. Jeff won the Daytona 500, in 1997 at the age of 25.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Logano said. “I’ve been here and watched a ton of races, watched the 500 a hundred times probably. I just want to get out there. We’re almost ready to go out there and just go around Daytona with all the history around this place.

2008 Arca Remax Results

Today at Talladega, it was Joey’s second race in the arca race, and he was very impressive in his first ever restrictor plate racing, coming just short of a second victory in the Arca remax series.

Joey Logano led a total of over 15 laps today.And with 4 laps to go, Joey Logano was still in the lead, but the cars behind him were battling hard, and even going three wide. As they went into the 3rd lap, the number 60 car was able to get a huge run and get around Joey. At this point Joey was running in 2nd place and Justin Allgaier was behind him in 3rd.

With 2 laps to go, Joey keeps looking for the window of opportunity to go on the outside to get back around the 60 car to regain his lead. As they are coming to the take final lap, Joey and Justin go to the outside. And its at this time that Joey gets a huge help from Justin, and now Joey Logano was in the lead, on the final lap. Going into the backstretch, Justin Allgaier went to the outside of Logano and was able to pull off an incredible pass.

At the end, Logano finished in the second place, but he came very close to  being 2 for 2 in the Arca Remax series. Still though, Joey Logano holds an average finishing position of 1.5 in the Arca Remax series in 2008.

The winner for the race, Justin Allgaier who is from Springfield, IL, added one more win to his resume, as he now has 5 wins in the Arca series in 2008.

Joey Logano looked strong out front, and had a great car. A great job also by Joey Logano’s spotter for the Arca race Mark Robertson, Mark gave him alot of information and knowledge.

One of the reasons for Logano to run in the ARCA race, is so that he can gain experience in plate racing, and the even bigger reason is that he needs to be approved by NASCAR, before he makes his first plate race in the Sprint cup series in Daytona 500 February race. Thus if he races in the ARCA race, he has a chance to get the stamp of approval by NASCAR. The approval process is something normal, and something all rookie drivers are required to get.

The first test session began on Wednesday, the tests were part of a two-day ARCA RE/MAX series open test session at Talladega.

The test session itself drew at least twenty drivers who were eager to test different setups, from qualifying, to race setups, in preparation for the upcoming ARCA race scheduled to be run on October 3rd, 2008.

Logano was at Talladega participating in the two-day ARCA Series test session that drew more than 20 drivers for a chance to try out setups for the Oct. 3 ARCA Re/Max 250 race.

Joey has been enjoying his test sessions at Talladega, and he has said that he has had a good time so far with the ARCA cars at Talladega.

You can watch the race on Speed TV, starting at 5pm Eastern time on Friday October 3rd, 2008.
