Joey Logano: The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread
In NASCAR they call him the greatest thing since sliced bread, and he is proving to be so. 18-year-old Joey Logano has made an immediate impact in the Nationwide Series and the Sprint Cup is anxiously waiting for him
When Joey Logano turned 18 on May 24th of this year the NASCAR garage celebrated the arrival of one of the most talented drivers into the stock car national scene. At Lowe's Motor Speedway the media centre was packed with journalists as Joe Gibbs Racing announced that their young hopeful was set to make his Nationwide Series debut at Dover a week later.
Obviously the announcement had to do a lot to do with a sponsor, but there was a special buzz about the event with this kid from Middletown, Connecticut, who sat in the middle of his bosses Joe Gibbs and JD Gibbs answering to questions from the media that covers the series all year long. After all, he was being handed a winning car for his debut.
