“Here’s to getting a weekend project done in record time. Here’s to mapping out a game plan to precise measurements, and powerful tools that make alot of noise. Here’s to getting your hands dirty, and ending up with something you can be proud of, really proud of. Here’s to Joey Logano and that number 20 team. More saving. More doing. That’s the power of the Home Depot”

Budweiser Shootout Selection Show

Since Joey Logano is not 21 years old, much similar to last year’s Budweiser Shootout Selection someone else had to pick the bottle for Joey. Gregg Zippadeli took the honors again and picked the 21st position, after making the pick Greg made the mention that it was that number, the age that Joey needs to come up to the stage by himself to pick up his own bottle. Joey Logano later replied with, “21 means 21″.

Race Recap

Joey Logano took the lead on the second lap from Sergio Pena, he would receive challenges for the lead from Sergio Pena, and David Gilliland. For several laps Pena tried working the lower groove to get by Logano, he would get side by side with Joey, but was unable to clear him. Joey would go into the first segment of the race as the leader, and with all but one lap led.

During the break Logano commented on the changes they made to the car, he noted that they were trying to improve the entry of the corner, to help the car rotate more, and he hopes that the changes would not hurt his exit as he was good with the drive off. He also said that they did not have much notes to go off of so the changes they were making, they were really just winging it.

They restarted back again on lap 99 and Joey Logano would lead until lap 106 where Sergio Pena passed Logano on the low side, from there Pena would hold on to the lead and pulled out to a two second distance ahead of Logano. However, on a restart following a yellow flag, Joey Logano was able to get a good restart and get by Pena again. Pena would get by Logano again on lap 178, and would hold the lead going into the 200 lap marker, which also marks the 2nd break. Where the teams get 10 minutes to make changes to the car, for the last 25 laps of the race.

During this second break, the crew worked on repairing a little bit of right front fender damage, Joey commented that they were definitely swinging for the fence, and that they weren’t fast enough, he said that the 4 car of Sergio Pena is the class of the field and that he is pulling every trick out of his book to make it work and that they are working hard. He also said it is one of the tighter racecars hes ever driven. Joey also said he is going for zero or hero.

On the Restart with 24 to go Joey Logano was able to beat Sergio Pena, and the two battled side by side then a caution came out with 21 laps to go. On the Restart with 13 to go Logano was able to clear Sergio and hold onto the lead. Coming down with ten to go, Sergio gets side by side again with Joey, but another caution comes out for the wrecked car of Michael Self. At this point NASCAR red flagged the race so the laps don’t run out.

NASCAR brings out the yellow flag, and we get a restart with seven laps to go, once again Joey Logano gets a great restart. Matt Kobyluck gets by Pena, and Kobyluck is now in 2nd place with six to go. With four laps to go Pena gets by Kobyluck, and Pena is now in second and is chasing Joey Logano, but was unable to get back to Joey. Joey Logano would cross the finish line and win by 5 tenths over Sergio Pena.
