Joey Logano Post-Race Quotes
How did the handle change on your race car today? “The thing that kind of messed with me was when we started in dirty air, we would get tighter and when we were in clean air, we would get looser. The track temperature was going up and down and it just kept screwing with me all day. It made it really hard to adjust on the car. If you had clean air all day and were up front then you definitely had a more consistent car and easier to work with. We finished with what we had. That was basically all we could do with it. We finished top-10 and that’s good after the last few weeks, we definitely needed a solid top-10. We need to start moving ourselves back up towards the top-12 in points. If we can’t make the Chase, we need to be as good as we can. We’ll keep pushing.”
Joey Logano started from the 18th position today in the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen, and finished in the 33rd position two laps down to the race Winner Juan Pablo Montoya.

Pre-Qualifying Comments
Mike: Joey great qualifying run on the Nationwide side, what are you expecting here?
Joey Logano: Well see, Home Depot Toyota is pretty good, but in qualifying trim it was alright. So, hopefully I hit my marks right, and I everything I need to do, and I think we’ll be decent. So well see, we had a really good run with the Nationwide car so, hopefully I can do the same thing, and have something close to the front here, and so that we can work with tomorrow.
Mike: How would you assess your road course racing skills?
Joey Logano: So-so right now, I feel like, the more races I get under my belt, the more I realize what you gotta do at these places, it definitely helps you know, whether you gotta be smooth or whatever you gotta do out there, it’s finding that and making it all work, and trying to find speed out there at the same time, so and that’s only half the battle you gotta figure out how to race these places and stuff like that. So, we’re getting there, I feel like everything I come to a place where we are getting a little bit closer, road course wise, stuff like that. So, confidence is definitely up after the last qualifying run there in the nationwide car, hopefully I can keep it up after this one.

Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen Race Results
Joey Logano came home in the 25th position in the Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500. On the last pit stop of the day the team took fuel only, by doing this the team was able to gain alot of track position, and would put Logano in the 5th position, his highest running position of the day. The field would get the final restart with a total of 20 laps to go, unfortunately though the number 20 team would slowly lose positions during the green run to the end, and finished in the 25th position due to a lack of fresh tires compared to the rest of the competition.
