One thing that makes NASCAR unique from every other sport/Motorsports series there is around the world is the large number of racing families involved in the sport. There have been many racing dynasties in the sport, whose legacy is still represented in the sports. The Petty’s, the Earnhardt’s…the list goes on and on.
So, it’s no surprise to see NASCAR drivers doing everything for their sons and daughters from a very young age to help them have a successful racing career. The reigning Cup champion Joey Logano also has his son Hudson, who is very keen to race. But unlike some parents, the Ford driver isn’t pushing the youngster too much.
In the recent episode of the Kenny Conversations with ex-racer Kenny Wallace, Logano talked about his son’s future as a racer. He pointed out that at the moment, everything they are doing are just for fun and he will not be pushing his son to do anything unless he wants to. The veteran seems to have left any decision regarding making career out of racing entirely to Hudson as he should.
I’m in my shop right now, and he’s [Hudson] behind me downstairs working on his racing car. He just wants to do anything with wheels; that’s his thing. I don’t know if he wants to race or not, he just wants to drive. So, he’s six, and I’m okay with that. Dad’s not going to push him.
Joey Logano said via Kenny Conversations.
Joey Logano knows his son would want to race someday
While further talking about the point, Logano pointed out that Hudson would definitely decide to race as at the end of the day he is his son, and would do at least to have some fun, just like he did alongside his father. At the moment all the Penske drivers want is for his son to have some fun.
If he does decide to race, everyone will decide to do it. I don’t want them to be held at a different standard. I know it’s going to happen because they’re my kid, right?… Like, I was Tom Logano’s kid. We didn’t do anything about racing. We’re just having fun. I’m six-years-old, I’m having fun. That’s all it’s about. I hate it. I don’t want it to be so serious already.
Joey Logano said.
The comments from Joey Logano shows a father who is ready to give his son the right support needed to pursue his passion and succeed in it. If Hudson ever decided to pursue racing, he has the best teacher in Logano, who knows the hardship of becoming a good racer from a very young age.
