Joey Logano driver of the No.20 Home Depot Toyota earned the nickname,"sliced bread", as in the greatest thing since sliced bread.
He had one rain shortened win last year at New Hampshire Motor Speedway; the Lennox Industrial Tools 301, at the young age of 19. He became the youngest driver to win in the Sprint Cup series.The same age as myself. Last year Logano finished 20th in the final standing of the 2009 season. Not surprising for a rookie, but still, "sliced bread," had to prove himself.
So then comes the 2010 Sprint Cup season and comes a ready to win Joey Logano. Last year,"Sliced Bread," finished 43rd at the Daytona 500 due to an accident. This year a decent 20th finish for Joey. It wasn't unexpected, but it also wasn't exactly what Logano fans wanted to see at the beginning of the season.
Moving on to Fontana, he finished 26th in 2009. In 2010 a very promising 5th place finish. When Joey Logano got out of that car a smile as big as the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. He was happy and that is exactly how a young'un should look!
Then we moved to the third race at Las Vegas where Joey finished 13th last year and this year finished another promising 6th place, and once again got out of that No.20 Home Depot Toyota smiling.
He say's he is having a blast this year and can not wait for the rest of the season to take place. He has gone a long way from 32nd in the points at this time last year to a promising 8th so far this year. Joey Logano was definitely my suprise star during the Shelby American as well as the Auto Club 500.
All I can say is Joey,"Sliced Bread," Logano is on fire and was bred to be a racecar driver!
