Joey Logano
CREW CHIEF: Todd Gordon
TEAM: Team Penske
POINTS: Fifth
WINS: Two (Las Vegas 1, Michigan 1)
LAPS LED: 899
TOP 5s: 12
TOP 10s: 21
POLES: Two (Martinsville 1, Michigan 1)
WHAT WENT RIGHT: Was ranked either first, second or third in the standings after 23 of the season’s 36 points-paying races. … Had zero DNFs for second time in his Cup career (also 2015).
WHAT WENT WRONG: Didn’t finish high enough in Phoenix playoff race to be able to advance to Championship 4 round and defend his 2018 championship.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2020: Look for Logano to have another strong season. In the six years since the elimination playoff format began in 2014, Logano has completely missed the playoffs just once (17th in 2017) and has reached the Championship 4 four times. Look for that latter trend to continue in 2020.
