The boys are back on the track for the first time this season, after a long off season with no testing allowed on NASCAR sanctioned tracks. And it couldn’t be at a better track than the Historical Daytona International Speedway. The practice session for the Budweiser Shootout was also Joey’s first on track experience at Daytona with the Sprint Cup Series’s COT. There were a total of two practice sessions today in order to prepare for the Budweiser Shootout which is scheduled to run on tomorrow, February 08, 2009 at 8pm Eastern time. The race will be broadcast live on Fox.

Comments from Joey Logano about the Budweiser Shootout Practice

Wendy Venturini Interviewed Joey in the first Practice Session.

Wendy Venturini: Talking about shaking down the car, Joey Logano was doing more than that just his race car shaking it down, man, you got out there, I was thinking what is going threw your mind right now, because it wasn’t just lolly gagging, you went out and got right into that draft.

Joey Logano: Yeah for sure, the plan was to kinda of get out there and kinda of go to the back, kinda feel it out and everything. And then I just started going with it to the front, and alright let’s just hang out here for now. It was fun I tell ya, the whole home depot team prepared a great race car for me and I tell ya, I don’t have nothing to compare to, so I don’t really know, Hey is its this or that, if it’s loose or tight, as far as sucking up and all that, I don’t have nothing to compare it to right now, so hopefully I’ll get some more experience and more laps and I’ll figure it out a little bit more.
