The 2024 NASCAR Cup season ended with Joey Logano peaking at the right moment to win the championship and continuing Team Penske Racing’s title winning streak in the Next-Gen era. But there is a large group of people in the stock car racing community that are trying to discredit the No:22 Ford team’s win, blaming the play-off system.
Joey Logano seems really irritated with these efforts to overlook his five-race winning season, and how he won three of the last 10 races on the way to the championship. While recently talking about the system in the recent YouTube show of ex-racer Kenny Wallace, declared his love for the system. He highlighted how the intensity and pressure of the system, makes the chase entertaining.

The playoffs are here because everyone complained about it being a full season for one and it wasn’t exciting enough… Now, we got a system which I think is like freaking awesome. I love it. As a race fan, it is intense, it is pressure packed, it is do or die, people are willing to do the craziest things to try to win and we’re gonna complain about that now too? C’mon guys.
Joey Logano told Kenny Wallace.
He then went onto share his frustration about the tag of micky mouse champion given to him. Logano highlighted how he won three races in the playoffs and almost won twice in the regular season as well.
I don’t really know how to explain how frustrated I get when I hear some of the stuff. I’m on social media, I see it — not a true champion, Mickey Mouse all this stuff — bottom line is we won three of the last 10 races. Pretty solid. We had five wins on the season, I kind of count Richmond a little bit even though we didn’t win but that was pretty dang close.
Joey Logano added.
Joey Logano explain why he deserve to be the champion
The Cup champion pointed out that his championship season was solid with the multiple wins and joked if anyone has issues with that, they should get checked out. He also highlighted how the system not only benefit racers peaking at the right time, but also the racers that have great regular season.
I look at that like that’s almost a six-win season. That’s solid. To say we’re not a true champion, you better get checked out. We showed up when it mattered the most and that is the same as any other playoff system in any other sport… You can have a great regular season, and it will set you up better for the playoffs. It definitely does, there’s no doubt.
Joey Logano said.
The Team Penske champion seems to be disappointed about the dis-respect coming his way owing to his championship triumph and it is making him to pass some slaty comments. It would be interesting to see if the perception of the 2024 championship changes anytime soon.
