- We discuss Joey Logano's rise to fame, his early struggles, his legendary run-ins and his rise to the top.
Joseph Thomas Logano (born May 24, 1990), nicknamed "Sliced Bread", is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 22 Ford Mustang GT for Team Penske. Logano was the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion. He previously drove the No. 20 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing from 2008 to 2012, scoring two wins, 16 top-five finishes and 41 top tens.
Logano's first major NASCAR win came during the Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway in just his third start in the 2008 Nationwide Series. He became the youngest driver to win a Nationwide Series race at 18 years, 21 days old. The previous youngest was Casey Atwood in 1999 at 18 years, 313 days. Logano became the youngest winner in Cup Series history when he won the 2009 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway at 19 years, 35 days. The previous youngest was Kyle Busch in 2005 at 20 years, 125 days. Logano is currently the youngest ever winner in two of NASCAR's three top divisions. Logano is also the first NASCAR driver born in the 1990s that has competed in NASCAR's three major divisions. In 2015, he became the second-youngest Daytona 500 winner, only older than Trevor Bayne. He is also the youngest ever driver to win in both the Cup and Xfinity Series.

I just think it's crazy how earlier in his career people said Joey Logano should stick up for himself, then when he started doing that people consider him to be a jerk
Exactly, they created what they now hate
EXACTLY! I guess people forget how badly he got pushed around early in his career. Truth is, JGR did a horrible job of developing him as a driver. Once he went to Penske it was almost like they told him to stop trying to be everyone's friend and just be who you are and drive the wheels off of it!
The vets had to bully him to be able to best him. Im not a fan, not for any reason particularly, but I have other drivers I watch. But without a doubt, Joey being so young and so full of potential, he was bullied and pushed around as a kid and he still out drove most of the vets.
if he stood up for himself when dudes like tony or newman got in his face id have more respect. instead he went after dudes like martin and kenseth. its why kenseths revenge is celebrated. we know where that came from.
@@Chaelsonen ok go be a kid versus 30-40 year olds getting in your face. Totally different ball game...
Joey might have lots of instances of racing like a tool on track, but he’s one of the absolute nicest drivers in the garage. I’ve met him six times over my decade and a half as a NASCAR fan, and Joey is constantly one of the friendliest. Not to mention all the work he does for charity. The guy just loves to win and will do whatever it takes to get it, and while I not agree with a lot of the moves, there’s no denying his insane talent level.
Really, taking over Tony's ride was pretty poetic, they are very similar in style. Tired of getting run over, so they just realize that giving room to lose the race isn't worth it anymore.
i got his autograph at some basketball thing idk it was hosted by childress but he is really nice off track but oh god do i dislike him on track lol, and he has skills.
I met him at a Wallingford Home Depot in 2009. Boy, was he cool. Still can't believe he's the same guy.
Wtf are you talking about man insane talent level you sound like a fucking commentator for one of those stupid ass tv shows if he's got as much fucking talent as you claim he does than it shouldn't take wrecking someone to win
@@outlawz1975 Right right. Like Homestead 3 weeks later where Joey had to wreck Truex to win the race and the championship. Oh wait. He passed him cleanly. You might not like Joey and that’s fine, but you can’t sit here and say he’s not talented.
The hard truth is the older guys like Harvick and Newman created the Joey Logano we have today.
i agree nascar has suffered awfully since we lost Earnhardt. An i was a Rusty fan i loathed Earnhardt lol
Logano isn't young. He's the kind of young jackass that made ppl lose interest in Nascar
@@mvd4436 Lost interest in NASCAR yet here you are spending your time watching a lengthy video of NASCAR star Joey Logano and even commenting on it.
The difference is they earned they started out racing lower series and earned their rides plus had no name recognition. Kevin raced ASA, modified stocks, the Busch series and was supposed to do select races in cup in the 30 car in 2001 but was called in as a replacement for Dale.
Joey was funded most of his career by his dad who owns a trucking company. He came up in top equipment and was bought in to replace Tony Stewart after a few years after a year in the Busch series and a couple years of experience in lower divisions.
@@jamesbraun9842 yeah so did alot of guys funded by their daddy's thats racing. Its not a poor mans sport, joey just successful so ppl use that dad b.s against him.
All I see is a guy who got pushed around and then when he pushed back, everyone got butthurt. Great driver and hope to see him win more titles.
I mean he spun mark martin out then got butthurt when it happened to him lol
@@cjjohns4899 uh, he didn't spin Mark Martin out.
@@cjjohns4899 He didn’t spin Martin, he lightly nudged him out of the way because he had a faster car. Martin still finished 2nd.
You have to know who and when to wreck. In 2021:
Kevin Harvick: Yes
Ryan Newman: Yes
Denny Hamlin: Some times
Kyle Busch: Yes
Martin Truex: No
Mark Martin: No N/A(retired 2013)
Tony Stewart: yes N/A (retired 2016)
Matt Kenneth: no N/A (retired 2017)
He pushed back against the wrong people. He got picked on by the older heads who weren’t the cleanest drivers. Not people like truex or kenseth. Like MTJ raced him clean for like three laps only to get sent the second he had the chance.
Joey is a great driver, but the way he acts and races is irritating. However, anyone saying he can’t drive is blind. You can respect someone’s skills while also not being a fan of them.
I totally agree with you there He has skills now. But when he was in the 20 car he thought his shit didn't stink and he thought he was as good as everyone else on the track When he really needed to sit back and watch and learn from the veterans I think Tony Stewart taught him that lesson Old school racing is the best racing
Agreed. He's got skill, but he's a jerk. He has no one to blame but himself when he gets dumped.
@@zzz6valvoline In advance, thank you for coming to my TedTalk
You can really see this on the superspeedways especially. Yes, there are others that are just as, if not more, aggressive than he is on them, but those guys mature and new ones take their place. Like Ricky, Byron, and Chase I remember not too long ago were terrible blockers and horrifically strong pushers the entire race and it got them in trouble, but it looks like each one of them has matured out of that phase as they've figured out how to race in the draft and not wreck anyone every time they touch somebody (some learning slower than others, but still learning). We don't have to worry as much anymore on lap 60 of a race at Talladega or Daytona with them near the front trying everything possible to get to the lead. Even for the stages, it's not usually them causing the problems anymore.
But Joey is still that guy, and even after Brad called him out for throwing really, really bad blocks *in the clash*, he's still going out there and doing it, regardless of what lap it is. Now, he's got Bowman and Reddick as he spent more time up front every plate race, but he's still one of the biggest offenders in the field.
Sorry for the huge rant but I just needed to get this out here
That's how I felt about Kyle Busch. He's always been my least favorite driver, but the man has some talent that can't be denied. I've earned some respect for him though in recent months. I understand the hate for Joey, but I completely agree with you. The man is badass behind the wheel. He is my second favorite driver right behind Brad Keselowski.
The issue is he does the same things Kevin, Denny, Martin, and the list goes on and on, on the race track and off and it’s only a problem when he does it. It’s baffling to me.
You know what, I like Joey, he got wrecked all the time, raced clean when he did, think he just got sick and tired how people where racing him so he decided to do it back.
Like the announcer said on the first bump and run, people were going to keep doing it to him until he started doing it back.
And Martinsville was TOTALLY justified. He had to move MTJ to get to Homestead. That's racing.
That’s why I’m a logano fan. Because he is exactly like me
@@tailsnascarfan93 well I mean that’s partially an example of why the playoffs are stupid and bad. But I mean it’s an agressive bump and run. Beating and banging is essentially the core of Nascar racing so I don’t honestly know why people where so upset at it
@@chrishaley2431 Injury should never be part of the plan and I sincerely doubt whether Joey’s plan was to break Denny’s back rather than just spinning him out
Sometimes I forget he's only 30 and has a lot left in the tank.
Joey's gonna be around for a long time yet.
11:12 that’s 1000% from suspension unsettling, he was so far off the racing line, they both went in too hot and Joey got unsettled. That didn’t look intentional in the slightest.
@@DJSockmonkeyMusic qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
Now will there be any fans left? Children driving race cars... 🙄
31 now but he ain't slowing down
Joey seems like a nice kid that all the vets bullied and made him into what he is
No one accused NASCAR fans of being smart
joey was a sshole when he used to race before nascar
@@mikewagner9395 what are you talking about
@@NickyD hes the nicest person in the garage actually, stays a bit for fans. Hes just very competitive, I can understand wanting to win that bad especially since I'm very competitive myself 😅
@@NickyD So Nicky D, Logano must have beat the kids that you were a fan of huh? Did he race against your grandchildren?
I'm a fan of Logano after watching this. Kept his cool for a long time. Wasn't gonna just sit there and take it. Had the guts to give these other big shots a taste of their own medicine. I guess they just hated that he's better than them.
Such a love fest for this dickhead on this video. He's the kind of driver that makes ppl lose interest in nascar.
@@mvd4436 So why are you still here adding to multiple comments?
I am a joey Logan fan and I love how he races in every race he don't give up much respect for joey logano
Logano have some heart touching story, he's literally like every normal person in the world being picked and getting bullied by strong person, until he starts fight back the strong person, he wins.
I been rooting for him since 2017, and I'm so happy that he won a damn Championship back in 2018 Homestead Miami. He deserves it.
No he’s not! But ok Karen!
Too remind you he’s by far not average lol his mommy and daddy poured millions into his racing career while others had to scratch and gouge to get a car together.
@@tophergerald3636this whole sport is filled with nepotism a lot of the great drivers have rich fathers
@@lt_johnmcclane not Kyle Larson not Jeff Gordon not kasey Kahne not josh berry not Kyle bush not Kurt bush not Ricky stenhouse not Denny Hamlin there are plenty of drivers who are better than came from much more humble beginnings
Logano started his career picking on the nicest, safest, easiest going drivers. You are doing something wrong when you piss off Mark Martin, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin (young), Ryan Newman.
Sure he's improved and calmed down over the years but early on Logano was a donkey
Joey got roughed up and bullied on the track early in his career. He doesn’t take anymore and they whine about.
No people hate him because he's a hypocrite, he complains about things people do on the track, then will do the same thing
He's the one whining and crying just about every weekend at 30yrs old still acting (and looking) like he's 12.
The first few clips are older guys getting jelly of the young kid who is faster than they are.
@@badmonkey2222 i mean thats kyle busch but ok
He got roughed up because he got in the way. If he is mad about getting roughed up then he should get out of the way when a faster car is trying to get around him.
I got no dog in this fight but, it seems like he’s trying to race and the older drivers always lose their cool and just say he he’s a poor driver when the tape says otherwise.
that's exactly what happens in Nascar lmao actually not the first time it happens there
I don't have a dog in this fight either...
But they can't match his talent so they dump him and then like you said, say he can't drive. I mean it's confusing......but hilarious.
How anyone can hate him over Kyle Busch or kurt Busch blows my mind. These guys are the absolute worst. Yes, Kyle can drive the wheels off his car but that doesn't make him any less of an asshole or hypocrite. And Kyle is just an average talent hypocrite which makes it worse.
@@codeysnow2980 it is funny how these drivers complain about someone "racing", since ya know,,,, this is a... race!
@@codeysnow2980 It's because Joey acts like a little bitch. I've gone through my phases where I've hated Kyle and Kurt. Kurt has made a huge turnaround, though, and he's one of my favorites now. Kyle is at least straightforward about everything. There's just nothing to like about Joey. I can't remember which driver this seasons basically said "that's why Joey has no friends at the track", but it made perfect sense.
I thought the exact opposite after watching the video? It seemed like after every interaction Joey was the one losing his cool and having no control over his emotions. I feel like I didn't hear him once take any responsibility for his actions even going as far as to say "he deserved it". I know absolutely nothing about current Nascar I'm just going off what was presented to me in the video though
I love drivers like this. The ones who go out for wins, and don’t care if drivers or fans like them or not. The racing gets exciting and I love it.
Absolutely!
Sound like you are talking about Ayrton Senna.
Exactly! People forget that Dale Earnhardt was hated for a while for being aggressive.
@@patrickanderson9023 The difference with Senna is that he had a death wish. Senna did bold things on the track because he believed God was always on his side.
Same
Although Joey is a rich kid in my books, still you can't deny his talents and performance on track, Joey joining Penske was the best move of his career, and it shows
I love your profile picture man😂
@@christopherdaus5278 thanks man, appreciate it 😂
Apparently Joey was Penske material...
Everyone in nascar is a rich kid
@@Cheeto91734 ahahaha even Quin Houff?
Lol Ryan Newman tells him he cant drive? Who has a championship? 😆😆😆😆
Ryan Newman.....I hear ya!
This was when Newman did have more 😂 today that’s not the story
@VR Driver Yeah, Joey was doing nothing but racing Harvick.
2018 was not deserved
Hey, in the end who has a championship and who almost scored a championship?
When Logano let Truex pass him so he could pull the bump n run, I instantly knew he was a DRIVER. David Pearson did the same thing back in 72-73 he let 2nd pass him so he could draft and pass coming to the finish line. That is such a BOLD move.
It’s crazy how there are big you tubers that pay others to edit there vids but then there are low you tubers that edit there selves and put a lot of work into their vids. Great work on this video man.
Thank you very much!
i mean bigger CZcamsrs are busy 9 times out of ten and rarely have enough time to pay for their own videos soo
Imagine complimenting someone without shit talking other people. That’s a real compliment shithead.
The pace in the beginning made it seem like Joey died.
Couldn't agree more
nascar fans be like "rubbing is racing" then get mad when they rub, all of this was super light contact (if it was even contact rather than aerodynamics doing its thing) and mostly unintentional, i just think people dont like seeing kids win.
I think cheap shots like hitting the right rear that pisses people off. It’s like blind siding someone in a fight nothing the other driver can do to save it. Unlike hitting a driver with the full side of your car.
@@NickNick12376 tbh hes still an amazing driver
@@NickNick12376 bump and run ever heard of it
So, uh, which part of this was supposed to make me think, "Oh, this is why people hate him"? Looked like a great driver that plays the game the way he game has always been played.
Proboably when he wrecked kensith, even though he was in the chase and had nothing to gain.
@@KetchupColoredKnife winning even when you're locked in can still benefit you by putting almost everyone dependant in points
@@neoxide6218 He had nothing to gain. NOTHING. He got what he deserved later and I'm glad.
@@wr0ng569 he put everyone in a points situation, he could've easily put some contenders out of the chase if they had bad days, but I get your point
Did you listen till the end that was the point
That Kenseth interview kills me to this day. "Tire went down and I ran Joey over" and "You gotta keep respect in the garage area". He couldn't keep his story straight long enough for the length of one interview.
First time I me Logano he was 15 or 16 and he had the brightest outlook on his career. The next time I met him was years and years later. He was in his 2nd year at JGR (At Charlotte) and he looked completely different almost defeated. I am glad he turned it all around. Happy for him.
I can tell a lot of work went into this video, coming from a Logano fan. Great video!
Thank you I appreciate it!
Lot of work lol? Hell I can rip off Nascar video and speak a paragraph over it maybe 2 times in an hour.
@@username-tv6uw cry
I was a Logano fan when he was racing in hooters pro cup and up until his 2nd year in cup. At some point though I realized he should have grown up by now and hadn’t. Hiding behind people immediately after pushing someone over and over whining about things people were doing and then doing those same things. He’s a child and has the level of hypocrisy of a child. He never grew up and always lets daddy and the crew fight his battles.
People always say that he lets his crew fight his battles but that’s never really the case. In all his fights he’s gotten in he’s always been pushed aside anyway. You can have your own opinion, but the truth is he’s matured a lot since he got wrecked by Kenseth and he’s a really nice guy now and he has grown up. I can see your point if this was a few years ago but it doesn’t seem justified anymore.
I used to hate Lagano with a passion(and I still completely despise his aggression towards Kennseth), but this video showed me another side I found to be almost sad. Bullied by fan favorites, but when he pushed back, everyone jumped on him. Thank you for making this, incredible editing btw.
Hypocritical fans tend to do that because the fan favorites sit so high at the top sometimes that they gain and immunity to critisism.
Naïve
I keep hearing throughout the video that "Joey cemented his spot as the most hated driver" and everytime its the other guys taking him out. Kyle Busch will always be the most hated driver, and for good reason.
They are tied for first place.
@@roberthall696 i wouldnt say tied because Kyle Busch was a jerk from the start. While they are both great drivers and i am not a fan of either, you have to respect the fact that Joey took a lot of crap early in his career and this video shows it
Kyle has personality. Joey is just a puke.
Kyle doesn't act like a nice guy like Logano tries to do, that why I hate Logano he will wreck you and push you around then get out of the car and act like the nicest guy who never did anything
@@mrawilliam92 so to all the people saying all he did was act like a jerk just as much as busch, now you're gonna go back on it? again i hate both but kyle acts like its always the other person's fault will still baing an a$$hole
Joey is the brokenhearted kid who now breaks hearts, by sheer resilience no less. The guy talks about different things that got him to where he is today but quite frankly, there's no higher power involved here, maybe say for the racing gods, who likely gave the Connecticut native a chance through motorsports icon Roger Penske handpicking him for the 22 in late 2012. He might've gotten lucky but you have to realize, these situations have played out previously in the auto racing industry, so this is definitely not a one-off deal here. But after that, it's really all Joey if I'm being honest, when talking about his position in the NASCAR industry today.
Thing is, I'd be lying if I said that all of the things Logano did to get himself here were perfect, because that's not the case. Watching this video, I've begun to realize that: 2015 was a massive learning experience. There's no other person or thing to blame him for starting the war w/Kenseth than himself. While it wasn't in an acceptable way, Matt's payback showed the line Joey was searching for, in terms of aggression. He was too aggressive, and that's why he lost the 2015 title. I really do think that that played a role in the 2018 championship, as Logano didn't wreck anyone for that Homestead slot--- It was a bump-and-run instead, a blend of that 2015 aggression & much cleaner racing this time, since Truex didn't spin as a result of the contact. It seems like Joey knows what to do now since he's been in all sorts of situations throughout his career, whether self-inflicted or not. I wouldn't be happy about 2015 if I were him, hell it'd a very forgettable time for all I know. At the same time, however, it'd be nice to have the frame of mind to at least realize that those mistakes did somewhat propel you to that fight for the Cup a few years back, and seeing this video I think he has a similar conclusion.
I'm not a big fan of him, in fact he's one of the guys I dislike the most. With that being said, however, I admire the tenacity he had (and still does have) to overcome the problems of the past and make up for them. The best part is honestly, young drivers can look at his career and use it as an example, as getting rushed to Cup will result in uncomfortable situations they'd need preparation for. In other cases, said young drivers can avoid moving up too quickly and bet on themselves by staying down in the bottom divisions of the sport, thus avoiding much of the adversity Logano faced early on. I'm glad Joey has learned. He may not be very pleasing to watch sometimes, but at least you can say that he fought back, and in his way no less. Hopefully he's able to continue to form his craft as he becomes a more of a veteran in the sport.
Agreed, I'm not the biggest fan of him, I hate him as much as Kyle Busch (I'm an Elliott Fan) but I admire his tenacity and drive, but damn they love to bitch and moan!
This comment is so underrated. I couldn't have said it any better myself.
@@captainfordgunz1995 Thanks! I appreciate the compliment!
I think he saw how others raced (Bump and runs and plowing) and just got plain old tired of it. I see people in online racing that drive in such aggressive ways that it couldn't be something they developed from a deep seeded hate, but only learned from a surface hate for being bullied. He didn't dump people in the very early parts of his career (From how the video described it), but as people continued to push him around, he pushed back. I can ALMOST say it wasn't unreasonable for him to act like this.
I liked more Tony stewart than logano,now i like 11
Seems like he races hard and other racers who have a lot of fans just can't deal
I was in Homestead in 2018 and saw him win the Championship. I was very happy for him. He deserved it!
Honestly, I love Joey's driving style. NASCAR needs drivers that aren't so vanilla
Absolutely.
Lmao the irony
His style is stupid. We need more Truex’s, Elliott’s, and Allison’s.
Sure you need more interesting drivers but maybe not out and out fucking murderous ones given his prediction for making people eat shit at high speeds
@@nolancain8792 lol no. Elliott is a good driver but has absolutely no personality. Truex doesn't have much of a personality.
You gotta do better with your insults, Newman. "Learn how to drive" makes my eyes roll.

Hello Newman. Show me your Championship Trophy.

@@puggus6547 In half the time.
@@johnnyquist8362 True
I feel bad for Joey, he tried to race clean and play peacefully (even just walking away to calm down at one point) and eventually he reaches his breaking point. I felt that. For as lazy, carefree and a jokester as i may be, even i have my limits. it’s hard and you eventually just say “fuck it” all together. But unfortunately once he did he suddenly became the bad guy for it even though he *tried* doing this the easy way. And when he had to do things the hard way, he was hated for it.
Funny how we all tell someone to “man up” but then get mad when they become what we inevitably told them to be.
Oh stop. Joey has a history of racing guys dirty, but the moment he gets raced the same way he has an issue with it. He isn't some innocent victim who is being pushed around, he is being pushed around because he wants to race guys the same way. The problem is in his head he things he races guys clean and that they are racing him dirty. But that's just not the reality of it.
@@kyleraymer5581 Dirty? Because the BUTTHURTS say so, after they did it to him more than once? Oh please...go to your safe space!

@@kyleraymer5581 State the dates and audio...your reality is not facts!
I love this format! Just enough commentary to keep the story moving, but enough stock footage to let us decide for ourselves. I definitely agree that he is not deserving of all the crap he gets.
Denny Hamlin is a much more deserving driver of boos
I disagree not enough footage of his years at JGR. Rubbing is a part of racing. Wrecking someone causing serious injury is another thing.
I have considered Lagano the villain for some time now but I admit that all the top drivers use the bumpers every race and that's how Joey learned to do it. Truth is the guy has talent and is destined for at least one more championship.
Joey is too likeable to be a villain, Denny Hamlin is more of a villain and most fans don't like him.
I don’t understand why the fans hate him? Unless it’s a very young fan base. Do y’all remember Dale Sr., Rusty Wallace and Darrell Waltrip. Me personally would want a guy that would do anything to win. They aren’t paid to just run second. And this is coming from a Chevy fan. The kid has great talent and skills.
honestly nothing but respect for the guy. Clean and respectful driver until everyone (harvik) couldn't handle losing to him and push him around and made him snap
I don’t hate Joey I thing he’s awesome
actually I have no idea where all that hate came from, I acutally like him, not my fav but I like seeing him winning.
Glad I am on the right side of this go Logano! Great video!!
joey is my boy!#22
Joey Logano is a hell lot better then any drive out in the NASCAR WORLD . i still pull for 22# any day of the week ..
Guys like him are needed in the sport. Just like Kyle. People will appreciate them more once they’re retired
Some of the people I remember hating Earnhardt (as a driver) are some of the same people who now say "NASCAR died with Dale." Some NASCAR fans don't appreciate what they have until it's gone/
Same thing happened with Gordon
@NoSoyAllowed especially the low class Dale Jr fans at Talladega, ugh, there's no way to defend that behavior, they made Dale Jr himself look bad.

Very sad times lol I was disappointed wen he lost

Joey's not that bad and he's great to the fans. Talked with me for some time at the dirt race in Vegas one year
everyone hated gordon too at first. logano is one of the greatest nascar racers of all time, and he is still young. he is up there with the greats. Earnhardt, waltrip, johnson, petty, gordon, pearson, stewart ect
@@ExtremeMusicPromotion I don’t think he is at that level yet. But honestly, he would maybe be considered one if he won the title in 2015 and 2016. Like you said, he still has a bunch of time ahead of him and I think he could possibly get one more title before he retires.
I think he is a good guy always smiling not out to hurt anyone just loves the racing life not a thing wrong with that, needs a little bit better car sometimes but he is up there, I think he announces pretty good too. He seems to always be happy, can’t hate someone willing to help and he is.
Not out to hurt anyone?! He broke Denny’s back! Get real!
@@zachariahrichards2843 After Denny caused him to spin out and potentially hurt him too. Frankly, Denny was playing with a lit matchstick and he ended up burning himself.

He has become the best....I used to hate him but now I have respect for his skill. Good job Joey. Your really good.
Joey logano with a hendricks team would be the best in NASCAR. He's a fucking prodigy. One of the best circle track drivers to bless any circuit. I've watched many drivers race and he's got so much talent. He's put down so bad it sucks.
I don't get why people get mad at bumping someone out the way the greats did it all the time, if you don't wreck em that takes skill
I feel like Harvick represents the Dark Side and Logano is the Light side. Harvick is like a Machiavellian type. He's an operator. I don't have anything against Harvick and he's my favorite driver, but Joey is the guy I'd rather have as a friend. He's a hell of a talent too. The sport can't survive without young bloods like him. He'll be racing into the 2030s, God willing.
Seems to me that the “fan favourite grizzly vets” are all just a little too sensitive.
Joey drives like every other professional driver. Does he drive aggressively? yes. So does everyone else.
You pick any driver out of the starting grid and there will be several examples of aggressive/dirty driving from each one of them. It isn't exclusive to Logano. Do I like Logano? No. But I've gotta be fair about it.
Yup nice job
Logano isn't nearly as talented as every other professional driver. He can't pass 80 year old Morgan Shepherd without wrecking himself.
@@timsharpe3498 how’d he win a championship then
@@Syclone-
Maybe you should be asking why he hasn’t won several Titles. A top level driver would have collected at least 4 in the equipment Logano lucked up and one 1 title with.
Honestly the Martinsville truex battle was legit extraordinary defensive driving to the max done by Logano. I'm neutral towards both drivers but man that was great driving.
I was incredibly mad at him and still am. You don’t do that if a guy races you clean. I hoped he would wreck him into the wall at Homestead. Too nice though.
It was incredible by both until Logano dumped him. Truex taking that spot clean was amazing!
@@nolancain8792 PUZZY
He'll do whatever it takes to win. Always gonna be one of my favorites.
I'm not really a Logano fan, but the older guys who bitch about him have nobody to blame but themselves. They pushed him into being as aggressive as he is. He was just a puppy and you kept pushing him, the puppy grew up and bit back.
Joey is one of the best drivers on the circuit I don't care what anybody says. Yes his dad had money to get him there, but you tell me one driver that's made it to the top without money. They all have a money trail from someone, even the ones without a sponsor someone somewhere with money helped them along the way. I make decent money but I couldn't afford to run the local late model's without help from someone with money.
Past or present. Past Dale Earnhardt Sr. Well documented that he worked at a mill and raced when he could and couldn’t buy soap or toothpaste. Current Kyle Larson’s parents could only afford him to race gokarts. Denny Hamlins family bout went bankrupt his dad welded trailers and his mom worked at AAA.
@@zacharyradford5552 Jimmie Johnson's dad was a truck driver, and his mom drove a school bus to make extra money. I'm sure there are plenty of other drivers like the ones you listed as well. At some point, there's always somebody that has to believe in you and put some money in, but it's a whole lot easier when you've got a dad like Logano who basically funded his entire career.
Jeff Gordon also was not a rich kid growing up contrary to what some believe.
@@zacharyradford5552 POINT IS SOMEBODY PAID FOR THEM!!!!! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jek4837 YET SOME HOW SOMEBODY CAME IN AND PAID!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DON"T PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES! THE MONEY COMES FROM SOMEWHERE! STOP WITH THE ELITISTS CRAP! WHAT ABOUT CLYDE ELLIOT?
Literally saw nothing that Joey did wrong in this whole video. Great dude and a great driver, definitely not deserving of the hate he gets.
Agreed i ain't gonna hate Logano ever
Until he pushed Byron into the wall this year
Why NASCAR fans hate Denny Hamlin.
Why NASCAR fans hate Brad Keselowski
Why NASCAR fans hate Ricky Stenhouse Jr
Edited:
Why NASCAR fans hate The double yellow line rule
Could you please do those
Well I think Recky Spinhouse is pretty obvious
Honestly Denny isnt that hated
@@j9vlikz683 He is by Corey Lajoie
Wrecky Spinhouse really doesn't have any good qualities tbh he just got a couple of lucky superspeedway wins and when he couldn't win anymore he decided to wreck Kyle Busch and then wreck others and mostly himself.
Lol
Joey is an excellent driver he doesn’t deserve all the hate
Joeys my favourite driver! For all the reasons you’ve highlighted. People might not like it but Joey doesn’t take crap from anybody. Many more championships to come!!
Hubby, son and I are HUGE Joey fans!!!! Glad to see others on this page who were reliving the times when Joey got tired of being shoved around and gave it back to them!!! 🤩
Same. He got pushed around and got tired of the BS. When Newman said “Learn how to drive” I noticed that Joey had double the wins
Joey Kicked Martin's ass for The 2018 Championship Fair and Square
Yep. Played by the rules and it paid off.
@@alanluscombe8a553 MTJ is a Douchebag and So is Shelly
You mean he intentionally overdrove the corner at martinsville to take out truex to get into the final 4?
@@randomkdm i agree. MTJ raced him clean. It would be different if he raced Joey dirty. I still can't stand Joey for so many other reasons.
@@randomkdm he didn't spin him out. Truex and him still fought until the checkered, and had he not made that move he wouldn't have made it to the Final Four. Truex has pulled that same move many, many times. As have many other drivers
Logano is one of my favorite drivers and seeing this makes me think why Logano is hated for his racing skills he has been rear ended in his early days and when he wants to win he will try his best to win even if it means to wreck someone thanks for the video man!
Harvick: "Joey wouldn't let me pass him. I couldn't out drive him so I wrecked him."
Joey: It's not his fault his wife wears the fire suit in the family.
The older I get the mire I enjoy Logano as a racer.
Wonder if there will be any chance of a repeat of what Darrell Waltrip experienced, going from one of the most hated drivers to suddenly becoming a fan favourite through fate
Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch have for the most part. The biggest thing for Joey is he just wants to race and win. He doesn’t care about the media or what other drivers think. He just wants to win. I can respect that.
@@kellykeaton3487the same reasons why I like max verstappen, add on the fact that he was insane natural talent and unmatched desire to constantly better his skills.
@@copperandgold4674 I’m just not a huge fan of Max’s smug remarks, the times he just goes rogue despite team orders, the way he talks to his guys over the radio. But like I’ve always felt about KB, I don’t like you, but I respect the hell out of you, that’s how I feel about Max. You can’t watch the artistry of what Max does in a car and not at a minimum respect it!
@@kellykeaton3487vettel disobeyed team orders and is now a fan favorite. kimi was very rude and always yelling at his team but somehow he was also a fan favorite. max is doing what everyone else does he's just winning a lot more lol.
Honestly was not a Logano fan before the video but this actually made me like him more... Seems like more often than not he is the one being bullied around the track and then when he finally decides to race the same way he's made to be the bad guy. Kenseth can throw MASSIVE blocks on Joey and when an accident happens it's only Joey's fault, but then Kenseth can blatantly dump him at a short track and it's celebrated? give me a break
Solid video! The sorrowfull oldies will always be sad when the rookies coming for you. He could easily be broken, but he fought back.
This really changed my mind about Joey . What I’ve learned about nascar is that context is important, and these drivers have longer memories than the fans tend to.
I am fine with Logano. No I'm not a fan of him but I don't mind him.
As I watched this video, I kept waiting for the moment when I would hate him. That moment never came.
Actually, this video has made me something of a fan of Logano's....... I'm not so sure "NASCAR fans" hate this driver.
Man the kids a killer behind the wheel!
Almost one
Harvick is so desperate to prove he's one of the good old boys with his fake Southern accent
He's lived in NC for like 25 years ao hebhas picked up a bit of an accent. But yeah he still often times sounds like he's from Bakersfield,CA.
Ain't nothin wrong with his havin a Bakersfield, Calif accent, which in the white community of Bakersfield is "country", for lack of a better term....
Joey s my favorite driver. If he got the car, he don't disapiont.
Matt taking Joey out at Martinsville was one of the greatest moments in Nascar history.
Maybe because its the dirtiest moment. Kennseth shouldnt have been allowed back
@@roymcdre9180 nah, it was a moment of beauty. Joey got what he deserved. It's funny how fans of Joey still get upset about it.
@@stevenbailey181 i was a jj48 fan, so they both suck imo. But i like clean driving too
@@roymcdre9180 doesn't change the fact that it was one of the greatest moments in the history of Nascar or the fact that Joey deserved what happened. The crowd at Martinsville loved it.
@@roymcdre9180 if you want a dirty move just look at what Kyle Busch did to Ron Hornaday in the truck race at Texas I believe was the track years ago. Kyle didn't belong in the truck race but was in it for fun and wrecked Ron for no reason at a high rate of speed. Ron was in contention for the title that year he was taken out of contention by a guy (Kyle) that didn't belong in the race to begin with. Now, what Kyle did was dirty but what Matt did was simply payback.
Nascar is the only form of motor sport where it's ok the bump someone and spin they out without getting a penalty
Why does Kevin always avoid the question by saying "oh boy same spot at the same time" and then start to awkwardly read out his sponsors to dodge the question.
Hes my fav driver. I love all of Team Penske. But i love his aggression
It may sound crazy but I reckon he should of fought some of the times he had a confrontation - like with Tony Stewart that day at (was it?) Fontana 2013, people's view of him would've changed massively. I'm not a Logano fan but I do appreciate how talented he is and how he has won in everything he's driven. Also I think a lot of the hate is plain jealousy. A lot was made of him getting a top ride real early in his career, they weren't so quick to explain the amount of hard work he had done to get there. Let's face it, a lot of drivers may be able to/have a chance to, win a Daytona 500, but only a few will ever be good enough to win a championship. Even though there's others I would rather be champions, I wasn't mad at all seeing Logano win one and if he stays at Penske/in any top team I think he will win 1 or 2 more before he's done.
I have been wondering what wouldve happened if the 'Dinger had stayed in the #22?
Hope you're good :)
Edit - all that said, I was cheering for Matt Kenseth at Martinsville!
If he’d admit he was wrong or that he isn’t innocent in every event I wouldn’t mind him. But he always acts like he didn’t do anything.
@@DevinEMILE it makes me laugh when I see that 'she wears the fire suit in the family' clip. Him calling other guys soft doesn't help when he's like a marshmallow.
I think you've hit the nail on the head 100%
When I was a little kid I wanted to be Dale Sr. Is there many kids that look up to Logano in that way?
Hope you're good.
This all makes me like Logano tbh I never watched him when he was with Gibbs because I was a Stewart fan but even since Tony retired I’ve had trouble finding a new favorite and I think I may have found one with logano
The reporters trying to start stuff
Logano is my favorite driver, and I've never met him before. He doesn't deserve hate, he is trying his best so why all the hate??
People like to crap on Stenhouse for wrecking the field at Daytona and talladega but Logano is just as bad
The next video is going to be about Stenhouse funny enough
I crap on both of them😂
I remember Joey getting wrecked by Hamlin this year.... hmm
He is
Agreed!
Brazilian Logano Fan here. I'm here to learn more about this talented pilot. I like him, him family and all work that he does out of the race. Here in Brazil we don't here many information about pilots life. Videos like these help us to understanding more. Logano isn't a bad guy. I reckon that he does what has to be done. Sometimes he does mistakes, but he isn't bad character.
Joey is the veteran now the man to beat, his #NASCARHOF is cemented 2 time NASCAR CHAMPION!
He's my favorite driver, and the best Ford driver in NASCAR.
Joey is my boy! When Mark Martin retired I had to pick a new driver. Joey can plain out drive the s**t outta that car he wins races don't care if you love him or hate him he just wins! Go #22
Wins mostly on restarts wouldnt call that pure domination the fords nowadays have more speed in the short runs makes it better for those 3 laps endings
@@michaeldart5522 a win is a win my man
That is true his Ford may have some to do with better on the starts
NASCAR fans? You mean everybody? Well then you're wrong. I'm a NASCAR fan, and I like him. I've never seen him do anything on the track that every other driver hasn't done at some point. Haters are hypocrites.
I totally agree with you. Idk why those guys simply hate him for no reason.
When I first got into NASCAR Mark Martin was my favorite driver. And now I’m a Penske guy (not just for their NASCAR teams). Mark and Brad will always be my favorite two. I like seeing some of these younger fellas (even tho they’re not much older than me) race hard like they used to in the glory days. Hate it when it happens to my favorite drivers but love it when it happens at the same time.
i like joey, especially now knowing this, he stopped taking poeple's shit and focuses on winning, he's not an ass about it or stuck up like the Busch brothers, he just wants to win
And now he won at Los Angeles Coliseum and after that his wife give birth a baby girl... Joey is a successful driver... #The22In22 #TeamJL
Man, this was awesome, 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! I’m blown away with the research and quality you put into this video just fantastic! 🏁🏆
Anyone, Whats the name of the guitar intro song that starts at 00:21 seconds and ends at 2:45 min??
My picture that is next to my name is from my time on a pit crew back in 2005. In that race we won and the guy who finished 2nd was Joey Logano. Nice kid and we knew he was going be successful in the future.
Came in hating this man. After watching I have a lot more respect for him.
I'm proud to say I'm a Joey Logano fan! I agree that he does stupid things, but when you really think about it what person doesn't? He goes out there and races his heart out and doesn't care what anybody says all while keeping a smile on his face.
It's racing, not cuddle time. Joey didn't do anything that every other racecar driver does all the time, yet these supposed "veterans" deliberately wrecked him out of spite. Matt Kensith is a piece of shit.
Used to hate Logano, but honestly as both of us have matured. He's just great. No one maybe other than Kyle Busch make NASCAR fans angry while simultaneously being the best in the business. I think once you just think about it if you dislike Logano, just think he puts on great races when he's running good. I will never forget that small fued at the end of 2018. Just awesome racing and good storylines, good thing both MTJ and Joey have a championship because they deserve them. Other than that really enjoyed the video and love supporting the small NASCAR CZcams community
I don't have a problem with Joey's racing. I don't see anything I haven't seen before. The guy's got talent, there's no question about that. These blocking moves or turning someone as a result of being blocked are part of NASCAR racing. And throughout the years I've been enjoying NASCAR I've seen plenty of "dick" moves also made by the allegedly more respectable drivers. It just wouldn't be NASCAR if there wasn't some bumping and grinding on the track. Joey's got nothing to be ashamed of. The races he's won was because he and the team managed the car all the way through and came first. They were not fluke wins. So there's no reason to target Joey and give him heat. He's earned that spot in the Ford #22.
Great video. Joey is my favorite driver and it dont matter to me who hates him. They hate him cause he is a winner and beats their drivers. That is a main reason.
Joey Logano bumping Mark Martin in Pocono..
Jeremy Mayfield pulled the same move on Dale Sr. back in the day at Pocono.
Never really thought about that till just now.
@@fivewidesports
The difference is that Dale raced everyone hard and roughed up everybody, whereas Mark not only raced everyone clean, but gave Joey the outreach to start his career.
@@joshuapittman4663 Agreed. Every time Joey gets dumped, he has no one to blame but himself.
@@zzz6valvoline thats not true lol some of the guys running into him are just dirty
Logano was always my favorite driver because he played hockey as a kid
people saying joey dumped truex are wrong. if he dumped truex, truex would have finished way worse then 2nd. there’s a difference between dumping and bumping someone out the way
I like Logano, he doesn’t take crap, he drives you like you drive him. He’s fierce and a good wheelman. He’s better than the ones complaining about him that’s for sure!
Hamlin harvick kenseth are better than him idk what your talking about
@@sparkspaceyt1211 Hamlin?! That’s a good one ! Hahahahaha. If you compare win percentage, age plus years in series, Loganos numbers are better.
Im sure truex would have something to say about that
@@ericgionet132 I’m sure he’d tell you how deserving he was, then cry about how hard he was raced. Typical Toyota/JGR driver. They like cheese with their whine.
The problem with Logano is he races guys with no respect, but the moment someone does it to him he cries about it and says he just wants to be raced the way he races others. If that was truly the case then he might get more respect.
