Peaking when it mattered the most in the playoffs helped him to establish himself as the most accomplished full-time driver and the most successful in the Next-Gen era.
The impressive performance from the No:22 Ford driver, Joey Logano, wasn’t just down to the gats cars he had, it was often about the smart decision he took on certain moments. In the recent episode of the Kenny Conversation, the YouTube show of ex-racer Kenny Wallace, the reigning champion talked about his strongest suit as a racer.
He admitted that he isn’t the fastest driver on the grid and he compensate for it by racing as the smartest driver out there. Logano always tries to get the best results from tracks that fit his wheelhouse and always try to use small factors that gives him an edge to make the difference on race weekends.
The game has to slow down for you… Honestly, I feel like that’s where my strength is as a driver… I need to be the smartest driver out there, because I’m not the fastest driver out there, and I know that. There’re certain tracks that fit my wheelhouse, there’s certain areas, certain lines, things that work for me better than others.

Joey Logano uses the Tom Brady argument on his favor
Whie further talking about his point of getting the best out of driver fastest than him, Joey Logano explained how being the smartest played on the pitch made Tom Brady a GOAT footballer. So, it isn’t always about being the fastest on the track in NASCAR, as it would never be enough to get the bets result.
There’s other drivers that could go faster than me. So, I need to figure out a way to beat them. Look at Tom Brady… Is he the most athletic guy on the football field? Not even close – but he was the smartest one out there, wasn’t he? He won a bunch of championships. So, I think there’s just so much more to it these days than just being fast like that’s just not enough anymore.
Joey Logano said.
The comments from Joey Logano makes a lot of sense and it is something drivers coming up the ranks should listen to. Alongside thriving for being the fastest driver on the track, always work to become the smartest as well and success is almost guaranteed.
