Joey Logano has rebuilt career and Team Penske organization while racing to 3rd NASCAR title

Associated Press  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two wins in four seasons at Joe Gibbs Racing certainly didn’t get the job done for Joey Logano, not after replacing Hall of Famer Tony Stewart and entering NASCAR with the nickname “Sliced Bread” because you’re allegedly the next best thing. He’s done it all with Team Penske, which threw Logano a lifeline when he could have quickly washed out of NASCAR. His championship won earlier this month at Phoenix Raceway gave Penske three consecutive Cup titles — 2022 and 2024 with Logano, with Ryan Blaney sandwiched in between. “It’s just closer to the goal I become more intense, probably a little shorter-fused,” Logano said.
