Ford & Joey Logano’s $60,000 Gift to Hurricane Victims Earns Praise from Critics

Pole sitter Joey Logano laughs with the crew before climbing into the no. 22 Ford for the final practice before the Daytona 500, Friday February 16, 2024, at Daytona International Speedway.

Joey Logano’s latest acts of kindness further cement his status as not just a fierce competitor on the track, but a compassionate champion off it. Known for his aggressive racing style that has earned him three NASCAR Cup Series championships, Logano’s off-track persona reveals a different side—one of generosity, humility, and a relentless drive to give back to those in need.

Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts

Earlier this year, Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across several southeastern states, including Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Thousands were displaced, their homes, vehicles, and livelihoods swept away. For Logano, the devastation was a call to action. Through the Joey Logano Foundation, he committed $250,000 toward recovery efforts and personally traveled to affected areas to assist in cleanup and distribute essential supplies.

Recently, Logano took his efforts a step further. Partnering with Ford, he gifted two brand-new vehicles—a Ford Escape and a Ford Bronco, valued at around $30,000 each—to two hurricane victims, Anita and Alexis, who had lost their cars in the disaster. These vehicles, provided in collaboration with the Children’s Hope Alliance and Least of These Carolinas, represent more than just transportation—they symbolize hope and a fresh start.

Logano on his efforts: “Don’t thank me. It’s literally about our supporters at the foundation. Takes a lot of people to make it all happen… These moments like today are what make it worth it.”

Rallying the NASCAR Community

Logano’s charitable endeavors inspired the wider NASCAR community to rally together. Organizations like Hendrick Motorsports, Speedway Motorsports, and Sonic Automotive joined forces to contribute significant resources for hurricane relief. North Wilkesboro Speedway became a central hub for distributing over 400 pallets of donated goods to affected areas, showcasing NASCAR’s collective commitment to helping those in need.

Team Penske, Logano’s racing home, also played a key role. Partnering with Shell USA and The Joey Logano Foundation, they launched the “Partners Powering Hurricane Recovery” initiative, matching donations up to $100,000 to support rebuilding efforts.

A Legacy of Giving

The Joey Logano Foundation, established with a mission to support children and young adults during crises, has already invested over $6 million to help more than 250,000 individuals. Its projects range from building accessible playgrounds to assisting victims of natural disasters, such as the 2011 tornadoes and now Hurricane Helene. Logano’s work demonstrates his unwavering commitment to using his platform to uplift communities and provide second chances to those in need.

Fans Celebrate Logano’s Generosity

Logano’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Fans flooded social media with praise, with many lauding his ability to balance his competitive racing career with his philanthropic work.

  • “Say what you want about him, but he does do nice things for people in need.”
  • “Love what you do, Joey, in your elevated platform. The real GOAT 🏆🏆🏆.”
  • “His foundation built a nice kids’ playground in my town years ago. Logano is a good guy. He doesn’t have to do this stuff.”

Even amidst his busy schedule, Logano and his wife Brittany recently participated in a Christmas charity event for the Children’s Hope Alliance, helping to hand out gifts and bringing joy to children during the holiday season.

A Champion On and Off the Track

Joey Logano’s life is a testament to the power of second chances and the importance of giving back. As a driver who rebuilt his career after parting ways with Joe Gibbs Racing, Logano understands the value of resilience and the impact of a helping hand. His continued efforts to uplift communities show that his legacy extends far beyond his achievements on the track.

For Logano, being a champion isn’t just about crossing the finish line first—it’s about ensuring others can make it to the starting line, too.
