Team Penske Racing won their third straight Cup championship in the Next-Gen era, with the No:22 Ford driver Joey Logano securing his third title. He won the championship in the most Penske way possible in the new era, with surviving the regular season before dominating the playoff, peaking at the right moment.

The third championship triumph puts Joey Logano among best racers of the sports history and puts him in a pedestal only a few could ever match. But the trophies and championship aren’t something Logano cherishes the most from his NASCAR career. According to him the thig that worth the most is the people one has in their life.

He believes the relationship that he has built in the garage is worth more than any championship he has won over the years. This might be reason who Logano gave a $200,000 bonus to his No:22 crew, with most of them being his crew members for almost a decade, over the impressive Cup championship win.

At the end of the day, what are you going to have? People. That’s all you got. It’s those relationships that you’ve built. And so, I guess I cherish those things more than the trophies because the trophies are great, but at the end of the day, it’s just a piece of metal.

Joey Logano takes brutal dig at his haters

In the same discussion with ex-racer Kenny Wallace, Joey Logano shared his feelings about the group of fans that are downplaying his title win. He pointed out that he won the Cup fair and square taking advantage of the playoff system, winning when it matters the most. Logano then made some profanity laced comments about the haters.

We still had the opportunity to win the championship even though we didn’t have a great regular season. But we got hot when it mattered; we won the races that mattered, and we won the championship because of that. And if you don’t like that, you can kiss my a**. That’s how we feel about it. It’s so frustrating to see it.

Joey Logano said.

The comments from Logano shows how much he hates the comments that are overlooking the hard work of he and his team. It will be interesting to see if this criticism would ever come to a stop or Logano would ever shut them up.
