Joey Logano may have left some speed on the race track, but he had enough on Saturday afternoon to win the pole for Sunday's Pocono 400 presented by #NASCAR at newly repaved Pocono Raceway. In a qualifying session that saw 36 drivers break Kasey Kahne's 2004 track record of 172.533 mph, Logano was fastest, collecting his first Coors Light pole award of the season and the fourth of his career. Unlike most drivers who followed him in the qualifying order, Logano backed up his Sprint-Cup-Series-best time from Friday's final practice session at the 2.5-mile triangular track. Logano covered the distance in 50.112 seconds (179.598 mph), beating Carl Edwards for the top starting spot by .205 seconds. Edwards (178.866 mph) will start second ahead of Paul Menard (178.582 mph), and Logano's Joe Gibbs Racing teammates, Kyle Busch (178.575 mph) and Denny Hamlin (178.543 mph). Hamlin, a four-time race winner at Pocono, was ahead of Logano's pace until an oil line broke on his...

Logano's win shows star's potential

Via Fox Sports  |  June 10, 2012
For Joey Logano, it feels like the first time. On Sunday, Logano finally won a Sprint Cup race fair and square -- and without an assist from Mother Nature. Logano, heralded "Sliced Bread" before he even made his first Cup start at 18, certainly had his share of growing pains during his first three seasons on the Cup tour driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. Trying to fill the...

Logano shows he's learned from Martin

Via Fox Sports  |  June 11, 2012
When Mark Martin left Roush Fenway Racing in 2006, he said that if it was possible, he would pick Joey Logano to replace him. Obviously back then, Joey wasn't old enough to race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The point is that even back then, Mark was a huge Joey Logano fan. So I think it was pretty cool Sunday at Pocono Raceway to see those two racing for the win. As you...

Joey Logano turned a lap of 179.598 mph on Saturday to set the track record during qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. Logano wasn't alone in topping the mark.

Joey Logano prevails at Pocono, ends Cup drought

On a speedway with a fresh coat of asphalt, Joey Logano may just have gotten a fresh start.   After reclaiming the lead from veteran Mark Martin on Lap 157 of 160, Logano pulled away to win the Pocono 400 presented by #NASCAR at Pocono Raceway, his first Sprint Cup Series victory since a rain-shortened win at New Hampshire in 2009.   More important, the second triumph of Logano...

It really has to be -- putting the thing on the pole yesterday was a big...

Logano asserts his Cup Series presence at Pocono

Via On Pit Road  |  June 10, 2012
There’s no denying that Joey Logano has been preforming under a microscope ever since he jumped aboard the Joe Gibbs Racing 20 car in 2009. He was the new hot-shot rookie on the scene, and everyone expected him to take the sport by storm at 19-years-old. To say Logano’s career started off “less than ideal” is quite the understatement after crashing out of the 2009 Daytona...

NASCAR: Joey Logano Earns First Complete Race Win With Victory at Pocono

It's been almost four years since Joey Logano had celebrated in Victory Lane. That previous lone win came in a rain-shortened race in New Hampshire. Today, he earned his first complete race win with a victory in the Pocono 400. Logano looked like he would finish second to Mark Martin, but Martin got loose off of Turn 3 coming to the line with four laps to go, and Logano got...

Nothing wrong with timing segments on Pocono pit road

Via Speedway Digest - Home for NASCAR News  |  June 11, 2012
When it came to pit road, all Sunday's Pocono 400 presented by #NASCAR lacked was a fleet of cop cars with flashing lights and sirens. All told, NASCAR handed out 22 pit road speeding penalties, with most offenders clocked too fast at the exit from pit road. That easily eclipsed the Sprint Cup Series record of 14 speeding penalties at Kansas in 2006. Jimmie Johnson's recent...
