Joey Logano has only achieved a solitary top-5 finish in the 2024 season thus far. Logano, a driver for the Ford teams in the NASCAR Cup garage, has been enduring a nightmare season. None of the Ford teams have managed to secure a victory across all three NASCAR national series. The recent race at Kansas was particularly devastating for RFK Racing, as they lost by a minuscule 0.001 second gap in their No:17 Ford Mustang.
The lead driver for the Ford garage, who was the inaugural champion in the Next-Gen era, is experiencing a challenging season. Logano has only achieved one top-5 finish and two top-10 finishes in the 12 races held so far. Consequently, he currently sits outside the top 16 in the championship standings. At the beginning of the season, the veteran driver remained composed about the situation. However, he has now started to feel anxious.
Logano revealed that the No:22 team has begun to panic slightly as they explore every possible avenue to gain an advantage. However, they are uncertain about the best course of action to develop their cars, which has left them feeling somewhat lost. Logano emphasized the need for them to make a change soon.
😬 “You start to hit the panic button a little bit […] it’s not a great place to be, if I’m being real.” Logano commented on the challenges faced by the No. 22 team, Team Penske, and Ford Performance after 12 races into the season. Read more here: [link to article]
When asked for his thoughts on RFK Racing’s performance at Kansas, Logano admitted that he wasn’t particularly surprised. He acknowledged that the team has excelled on smooth tracks, but he remains unaware of the secret behind their success.
Joey Logano has 13 more races remaining in the regular season to secure a race win and a spot in the playoffs. Both he and the team must execute their strategies flawlessly in order to return to the winner’s circle.
