Roger Penske ace Joey Logano shared feelings on the '3x' on his uniform and staying grounded after NASCAR championship triumph
Joey Logano, Team Penske's star driver, is entering the new NASCAR season as the reigning champion, sporting the "3x" designation on his uniform. Despite his impressive achievement of winning three Cup Series titles in seven years, Logano is staying grounded and focused on the upcoming challenges. He emphasized that despite the accolades, everyone starts the new season on equal footing, requiring a renewed effort and a drive to improve.
In an interview with Bob Pockrass, he said:
"It's cool. Don't get me wrong, it's super cool to have that there. But like to me the championship is amazing, you know. The first 15-20 minutes you get out of the car, it was incredible. The first couple of weeks after that it's really busy taking advantage of every opportunity that comes your way and want to thank everybody and go see everybody."
"Then Christmas comes along, and after Christmas you're back at zero. The same as everyone else. Yeah, I got 3x on here, sounds cool. But I have the same amount of points as everybody else right now. So you gotta have that attitude that you gotta go do it again, and figure how to do it again. So it won't take the same things. So we got to be wanting to be better," Joey Logano said.
Logano secured his third Cup Series title by winning the Championship 4 race at Phoenix Raceway, defeating fellow contenders Ryan Blaney, William Byron, and Tyler Reddick. This victory marked his second championship in three years and extended Roger Penske's team's dominance for a third consecutive year. Logano previously won titles in 2018 and 2022, showcasing his consistent performance and ability to contend for championships.
