Joey Logano Comments After Qualifying Run
Krista Voda: Down here with Joey Logano, and when he brought his car in, I heard you say, I like this, are you talking about the race car?
Joey Logano: No I am just talking about the season in general, its been alot better than last year with the Home Depot Toyota, I tell ya, they did a good job with this thing. We were struggling a little bit after last season.. after last race where we qualified, I didn’t feel like we did a good job at California at keeping up with the race track when it came to qualifying time so, this week we did a whole lot better job, I don’t think I got another tenth in me to get the pole, I am happy with that you know, its cool to see us improving. I gotta thank the Home Depot and the associates for staying behind us, the guys back at the shop working hard. We struggled alot last year, and its motivating to me to be able to come back, and keep getting better runs, better qualifying times, and hopefully we can do this for the rest of the season.

The last time Joey Logano was on ESPN’s NASCAR NOW Show was with Sergio Pena. Just yesterday (February 24th, 2010), Logano made another appearance on ESPN’s NASCAR NOW show.
The host of the show Mike Massaro opened the show by talking about Logano’s 2009 season, and then the recent accomplishments in the 2010 season. He compared how Joey did in 2009, and how so far all his numbers are significantly up. Mike asked Logano about his recent Top 5 finish in the Sprint Cup series, he also asked Joey to talk about the recent NASCAR Nationwide Series race that he had dominated but did not grab the win due to incident with Greg Biffle. He asked joey more questions, and after the interview was over former NASCAR Driver Rusty Wallace gave his thoughts on the Logano of 2009 vs the Logano of 2010.
Overall this was a fantastic interview, where Joey Logano handled himself very professionally, and looked like a veteran on TV. Check out the video to see for yourself!
Joey Logano is currently scheduled to run the number 20 SportClips Toyota for a total of four races in the 2010 Nationwide Series season. Here is the current schedule for the number 20 SportClips Toyota.
Joey Logano was all smiles after the race at the Auto Club Speedway as he finished in the 5th position. Today Logano was the highest running Joe Gibbs Racing car at the end of the race. With his top five finish, right now Logano is currently 9th in the point standings, although it is early in the season, at this point it means Logano would make the chase.
Here are the numbers as it related to the Auto Club 500.
