Joey Logano<\/strong> has been struggling recently, but Kevin Harvick<\/strong> believes he can turn things around before the playoffs. On Kevin Harvick\u2019s Happy Hour<\/a>, Harvick weighed in on where Loagno is now compared to where he was at this point last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re definitely not in a position that they were last year at this point, from a speed standpoint, handling, all the things above,\u201d Kevin Harvick said. \u201cThey were much more in tune with the performance last year than they are this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvick then said that Logano\u2019s 22 Ford \u201cwas kind of a tail end of the top-10 car\u201d at the Brickyard 400, \u201cbut that was how this race went.\u201d He then said that he expects Logano and other drivers like Josh Berry <\/strong>and Austin Cindric<\/strong> to \u201cdo pretty well at Iowa,\u201d which is the next race on the schedule. <\/p>\n

In the last eight races, Joey Logano has finished in the top 10 just once, and that was a P9 finish at Sonoma. The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion is playoff-bound, as he won the Texas race, but he only has five top-10 finishes and two finishes in the top five. <\/p>\n

Last year, Logano entered the playoffs with one victory and seven top-10 finishes. In the playoffs, the 35-year-old won at Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix to take home the title. <\/p>\n

Can Joey Logano win a fourth NASCAR Cup Series championship?<\/p>\n

Before the start of the 2025 season, Logano talked about the key to winning a fourth championship. \u201cWell, I mean, the bottom line is that the goal never changes. The goal is to win the championship, whether you won last year or not,\u201d Logano told the FOX Sports broadcasting crew<\/a> ahead of the race at Bowman Gray in February. \u201cBut the big thing is just fighting complacency and being OK with what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to remember what you did last year will not be good enough to win this year. So just always constantly looking for improvement and keeping everybody on their game, right, because that\u2019s over. As great as that moment was \u2014 and it\u2019s fun to watch it, believe me, it\u2019s really fun just to watch that \u2014 it\u2019s over and we\u2019ve got to do it all again. The scoreboards reset back to zero.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joey Logano has been struggling recently, but Kevin Harvick believes he can turn things around before the playoffs.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":103095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[9650,32683,1406,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-103094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-joey-logano","9":"tag-kevin-harvick","10":"tag-nascar","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
