Nascar’s Playoff King, Logano, wants to maintain the format to stay

No Nascar The driver likes to see the end of August more than Joey Logano.

Calendar change means time for the playoffs series NASCAR. Or, for Logano, the best time of the year. His favorite time of year, even if that doesn’t sound like that.

“It’s most busy, perhaps the most uneatable time of the year,” said Logano ESPN. “But it’s the time that has the biggest award, and you show what you and your team do, but as on the fan, you need to happen, but as a competitor, you need to happen, but as a competitor, you must You happen, but as a fan, you need to happen, but as a competitor. Cool. “

Logano, team driver: Team Penske Ford Mustang, is a three-party champion of the Cup series, who helped him embrace postsesons and everything that comes with him. He won his first title in 2018. years, and his second 2022. Years. The third title came last year, which was moved Logo next to Cale Iarborough, David Pearson, Lee Petti, Darrell Valtrip and Tony Stewart.

Now looks at the fourth title. And that would put it in more elite companies along with Jeff Gordon.

“That would really beg for some people, didn’t it?” Logan laughed. “Four would be incredible. Three were definitely special, and that sets you to just think about career sometimes, when you look at the end of your championship, will you be happy? That will be happy?

“I will still be a person to say,” Boy, I missed four or five, and I still frustrated about it. Yes, I wouldn’t be too in front of what it would be (four) would be great. There would be great. ” There would always be space. “

The only drivers who won several titles in the Cup series are those by the name Richard Petti, Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson. All three won seven in a career.

The Defense of Logano’s title begins with a similar feeling until 2024. And, he pointed out the 2018 season. Years. It was the years when Logano felt that he had an incredible regular season and did not win the championship. He also had years when the regular season was nothing that would write a home, but she finished a big prize.

The latter is now where it’s Logan now. He was not the most dominant driver during the regular season, reaching only one victory, but he also had other options through his fingers. The first 26 races were good enough to be Logani 12. In the championship table and there was a sown for postseason.

But the reason why it is a logano of this year, no matter where it might be on the leader’s board, which he praises for his experience and perseverance to experience and battles, time and time to appear when they appear when others are ready to exhibit them.

“I think we are very close to where we need to be,” Logan said. “I Think Our Speed ​​Has Gotten Better. And Think We’re in a Comparable Place to where, if you didn’t know the 22 team and you didn’t probably argue differently. But Knowing These guys the way I know them, and Being Able to do IT multiple Times, and Feel Like We’re in a good spot.

“Team Penske does good work on the rise on the occasion, which is so important, as well as that it is good enough to get you good enough to win your statistics enough to win your statistics. At this point, saying If you were not good enough to get you good enough to win a good enough to win your statistics. At this point, saying that you are withdrawn. ” They appear at this time. “

There are a lot of conversations around the post-season and whether the defense champion was a worthy winner. After the Logano came from 15. years in the regular season to win the title, caused fire to talk about the best driver who does not conquer the championship. There was an insult focused in Logan because it was not a real champion because of the format, and then insults aimed at integrity formats.

In an elimination era, 2014. To this day, Logano is tied Denny Hamlin For the most performing in circle 8 (nine) and leads all drivers with the most performances in the Championship 4 (six). With three championships, Logano has the most any active driver in the Cup series. And even more, Logano runs all active drivers with the most wins in the playoffs in 15.

“I love it,” Logan said, who was one of the most popular in supporting format. “I know people say,” Oh, that’s because it works for you. “I know. Of course. But I think it’s very exciting.”

NASCAR has created a playoff commission after the 2024 season. Due to the upset of fans and drivers over the format. Discussions are under way about potential future changes, such as the structure of points, removal and movement of one in the 1940s, with some hope that changes will be implemented in 2026. Years. The broadcast partners will also have a voice in things, taking into account that in connection with the multifilite dollar.

Logano is one of the drivers in the board. There are also former drivers, media partners, team owners, trail manufacturers, and representatives, as well as independent media.

“I think there are ways we can simplify it because I think it is a little confusing that there are two points where there are regular spots of the season, and then a playoffs of grid,” Logan said. “There are ways in these meetings that we can simplify that thing, I believe that it is good, I would still not try that I do not even have anything to do anything or what we do and not something different.

“People complain about everything. Literally everything. Silent most is the right thing, regardless of the topic.”

Logano, however, will never be placed on excitement, format leads to its current moments of victory or home. And ready to do it again over the next two months.

“There are several people who say we should have full points throughout the year and it’s the only real way you can do it,” Logan said. “Well, then it should be like that in every sport. But it’s not. Why not. Nobody will watch a boring sport; you need to do something exciting.

“You won’t have a moment Super Bowl without one race, everything or nothing. We now have now.”
