Two times NASCAR Cup champion Joey Logano came into the 2024 season with the hopes of redemption, following a disastrous title defense in 2023. Though this year wasn’t as impressive as his previous season’s Loagno was able to make into the championship-4, with luck playing a massive part in it.
Joey Logano wouldn’t be in the R-8 if not for Alex Bowman getting disqualified for his cars being underweight in Roval. His win at Las Vegas last Sunday, that earned him the final-4 spot, was the product of taking advantage of fuel saving. But that doesn’t make these win feel like overarching for Logano, as he asserted that they capitalized on opportunities when it mattered.
Maybe in your mind. I don’t know. 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, and in the playoffs, we just turn the wick up.
Joey Logano told RACER.
He went onto highlight how they have always been impressive when it comes to post-season. Logano admitted that the No:22 team playoff has a crazy percentage wise in terms of regular season and post-season wins.
I don’t know what exactly that is, but it just happens. So, you look at our playoff wins and our history versus our regular season wins, it’s kind of crazy percentage-wise what that is.
Joey Lognao added.

The Team Penske Racing veteran further asserted that they always do a great job when it comes to the playoffs. He then went onto quote his boss Roger Penske, who warned him about talking too much to the press.
We just seem like when the playoffs come around, we do a really good job. I’m very proud of that, but I also always think of what Roger [Penske] says, and it’s one of my favorite things that he ever said: ‘Don’t trip on your own press clippings. Don’t get too over your skis.’
Joey Logano said.
The former champion has earned the best shot at winning the 2024 championship with the finale entry and will be hoping to keep the Penske Next-Gen era title winning streak alive. It will be interesting to see how the veteran would perform in the coming races.
