Olsen announced his retirement from the NFL in January of 2021. Having played most of his career for the Carolina Panthers, he was the first tight-end player to have three consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards.

He established the HEARTest Yard Charity back in 2013, and for over a decade, it has been helping pediatric cardiovascular patients through donations. According to their website, they have so far donated over $8 million and have helped over 500,000 patients.

Logano won the NASCAR Cup Series championship in the 2024 season with Team Penske, adding a third to his racing portfolio. The start to 2025 was seemingly strong for him as he battled at the front during the Daytona 500, but he crashed out in the final few laps after causing a multi-car wreck. Despite the criticism, however, his stance on the crash remained the same.

Logano was battling within the top five with 15 laps to go in the Great American Race when he attempted to squeeze in between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and his teammate Ryan Blaney's car. However, the former showed resistance, causing a multi-car wreck. This ended the race for the #22 driver almost instantly.

Reviewing the crash, Joey Logano said his move was "right" and mentioned that Stenhouse Jr's block was "late."

"You know, there was a move to get down to the middle," Joey Logano told Danielle Trotta of SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. "It was no doubt the right move, to try to secure his track position up there, and get to that second lane. Ricky’s block was, was a little late, right? I checked up for that."

"At that point, you know, the No. 4 is on the gas, the car behind him is on the gas. Everybody’s ready to push into it, and I couldn’t get out at that point. I couldn’t line back up, I couldn’t get out. I was kind of stuck. And that’s what caused the wreck," he added.

Joey Logano's finish at the Atlanta Motor Speedway last week was much better. He managed to pull in 12th place, leading the most laps in the race.
