“One that I’ll remember forever”: Joey Logano reflects on heartwarming moment with daughter after Nashville win

Following his victory in the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, Joey Logano shared a special moment with his daughter and other two children. He noted that it's difficult for a NASCAR driver and a professional athlete to spend as much time as one would like with family, so when he won the race, he cherished the moment as he celebrated with his wife and their kids.

Joey Logano married his longtime girlfriend, Brittany Baca in 2014. The couple has three children. Their first, son Hudson, was born in 2018 followed by Jameson in 2020 and daughter Emilia in 2022. Hudson has already shown a keen interest in racing and he takes the wheel in the family's backyard while dabbling in quarter-midget racing.

Despite his enthusiasm for the sport, Joey Logano wishes to give him as normal a childhood as possible, considering he's the son of a NASCAR champion with a busy schedule. Recently, after a win at Nashville, Joey Logano was thrilled to share the victory with all his children at the venue, who were dressed in their Ninja Turtle pajamas. He expressed his joy speaking to the media:

"Yeah, that was the first time I’ve had all three kids here for a win. Hudson was in Wilkesboro, which was cool, and when we won the championship, Hudson was there, but Jameson and Emilia have never been to Victory Lane before." [12:01]

The moment was particularly special as it marked the first time his younger children experienced the excitement of Victory Lane:

"The commitment that it takes to be a professional athlete, the time it takes away from your family. More times than not, my wife is raising those kids, three of them, on her own. It’s just the life that we have. It’s like that for everybody that’s traveling out here. To have the moment, to be able to have that, was very, very special for me, one that I’ll remember forever," he further said.

Joey Logano will next be driving in the Xfinity race replacing Hailie Deegan

Joey Logano will take the wheel for Hailie Deegan in the AM Racing's #15 Ford at the NASCAR Xfinity Series race in Chicago this Saturday. During her rookie season in the Xfinity Series, Deegan has had an average finish of 26.8 and has only managed to crack the top 20 in four of the 17 races she's competed in.

Currently, she's the sole female driver in the Xfinity Series and ranks 27th on the standings - the lowest among full-time drivers. Her best result this season was a 12th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway.

Wade Moore, the president of AM Racing, said that the team is eager to leverage Joey Logano's experience and insights to spark a competitive revival for the second half of the season.

Moore's statement left open the question of whether Hailie Deegan will return to the driver's seat for the upcoming race at Pocono Raceway or in later competitions.
