Up-and-coming young driver Joey Logano will no doubt become one of NASCAR's all-time greats someday because this kid seems to have it all.
Born in 1990, Logano crossed the finish line first in only his 17th round of the 2009 Sprint Cup at the age of 19 years and 35 days, making him the youngest ever race winner in NASCAR's top racing series and garnering him the 2009 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year award. Before this young man from Middletown, Connecticut, achieved this feat, the youngest winner in the Sprint Cup series was Kyle Busch at 20 years old. In a racing series full of older, veteran drivers, no one ever imagined that a teenager would win a race in America's preeminent stock car series.
He is also the youngest ever driver to win a NASCAR Nationwide Series race (the NASCAR series one notch below Sprint Cup) when he won the Meier 300 at Kentucky Speedway in 2008 in only his third Nationwide start at the age of 18 years and 21 days.
Logano was given a challenging task when he was chosen by NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs to replace one of the superstars of NASCAR, Tony Stewart. Becoming part of one of the leading teams in NASCAR also meant he inherited the mega-dollar sponsors and key personnel that helped to make Stewart a two-time Sprint Cup series champion. Ready to compete at the top, Joey has lived up to everyone's expectations by setting a record for qualifying in the 2010 season and continues to improve and outperform beyond all expectations.
