Joey Logano Eyes Third Championship After Gritty Playoff Run: “We Just Turn the Wick Up”

Two-time NASCAR Cup Champion Joey Logano is proving that his Team Penske crew knows how to deliver when it counts, as he prepares for another shot at the title in the 2024 championship finale. Despite a challenging season, Logano’s team found their stride in the playoffs, where, as he says, they “just turn the wick up.”

After a turbulent 2023, Logano entered 2024 with redemption in mind. Though his season wasn’t as dominant as his 2022 championship run, the No. 22 team secured a playoff berth, though not without a mix of skill and strategy. A disqualification for being underweight at the Roval nearly took him out of contention, but Logano bounced back with a savvy fuel-saving win in Las Vegas, clinching his spot in the final four.

“Maybe in your mind,” Logano commented on critics who see his path to the championship as lucky. “For us, our goal always is to make it, and we truly believe we can. There have been many years where, by the stats, it doesn’t look too good. But we’ve been able to capitalize when it matters.”

He highlighted the No. 22 team’s impressive playoff performance record, with a higher percentage of post-season wins compared to regular-season victories. “Our playoff wins versus our regular season wins—it’s kind of crazy percentage-wise,” Logano noted.

Logano also quoted team owner Roger Penske’s advice on staying grounded amidst success: “Don’t trip on your own press clippings. Don’t get too over your skis.” It’s a motto that Logano takes to heart as he enters the final race of the season, focused on maintaining Penske’s Next-Gen title streak.

With a shot at his third title, Logano’s remarkable playoff run showcases both the resilience and tactical prowess of Team Penske. NASCAR fans will be watching to see if he can translate his late-season momentum into a championship victory.
