Napa-auto-parts-200-day
Joey Logano capped off what many would call a perfect weekend Sunday at Pocono Raceway in the Pocono 400 presented by #NASCAR.  Logano led Happy Hour practice Friday, earned the pole and set a new track record behind the wheel of his No. 20 Home Depot Toyota on Saturday, led the most laps and grabbed his second-career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win on Sunday at the 2.5-mile track in Long Pond, PA.  Logano started the week and weekend off by constantly being one of the fastest cars in testing and practice on the newly repaved Pocono track.  Logano was also fastest in Happy Hour practice on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, Logano grabbed his fourth-career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series pole and set a new Pocono Raceway track record in the process.  It was Logano second-straight pole at Pocono Raceway, dating back to last year’s fall event where he started on the pole and led 44 laps. When the green flag flew on Sunday, Logano jumped out to the early lead and led the race’s first 16 laps before ...

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...

Pocono paves the way to excitement

Pocono paves the way for an exciting race I can't tell you the last time I have been to Pocono when the race had as much anticipation as Sunday did. Resurfacing the track and shortening the race gave us blistering speeds and gave the drivers more of a sense of urgency. I have said for years that the races at Pocono are too long. I've always felt we'd have a better, more...

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...
