Kenny Wallace is not shy about speaking his mind on social media. Some of his takes get public support, while some stir controversy<\/a>. The former Busch Series runner-up recently shared another controversial opinion, though it was delivered in a lighthearted manner.<\/p>\n

Wallace said he preferred Joey Logano over a former Cup Series winner, citing a reason that has nothing to do with racing.<\/p>\n

Kenny Wallace Raises Eyebrows With Unexpected Take on Joey Logano<\/p>\n

Who is the most unpopular Cup Series winner of all time? Logano would be a popular pick to answer that question.<\/p>\n

The Middletown, Connecticut-native used to be a popular driver in his early Team Penske days, but the narrative changed after his 2015 feud with Matt Kenseth.<\/p>\n

During a heated battle for the win at Kansas in 2015, Logano spun Kenseth, which deprived the latter of a crucial win. After suffering a crucial blow to his title ambitions, Kenseth went for revenge two races later and intentionally took out Logano at Martinsville.<\/p>\n

Even though Kenseth was handed a two-race suspension for the incident, most fans blamed Logano for starting the altercation in the first place.<\/p>\n

He was also heavily criticized after winning the 2024 Cup Series championship. Many felt his lacklustre regular-season performance didn\u2019t merit a playoff spot, yet the \u201cwin and you\u2019re in\u201d rule gave him a chance to fight for the title with just one regular-season victory.<\/p>\n

Logano often gets booed on the course, and he addressed the issue earlier this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I knew. I mean I guess some of it is probably how I started my career. I made some mistakes in the way I handled things. I think some of that has carried over for a long time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside of that, I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t put on a fa\u00e7ade, like this is me, right? And I think it\u2019s confusing to people who see me smile and laugh and then race hard,\u201d he continued.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of \u201cunworthy champions\u201d, Kenseth sparked a similar debate when he won the 2003 Cup Series. The tournament was decided over season-long points then. Kenseth outscored the rest of the field, despite winning just one race throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n

The ex-Roush Racing driver\u2019s win prompted NASCAR<\/a> to ditch the championship format and start the playoffs, which received mixed feedback from the community.<\/p>\n

Although NASCAR felt Kenseth\u2019s win made the competition dull, he remains popular with many fans. On the surface, the 53-year-old seems more well-liked than Logano.<\/p>\n

Wallace, however, revealed that he prefers Logano over Kenseth<\/a> because of the Penske driver\u2019s more engaging and outspoken personality.<\/p>\n

Joey Logano.
Because he speaks \ud83d\ude02 https:\/\/t.co\/66ou38X3lu<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSerious question @Kenny_Wallace , whose a better champion, 2003 Matt Kenseth or 2024 Joey Logano? What if Joey wins this year\u2019s championship with only one win?\u201d a fan asked Wallace on X.<\/p>\n

Wallace replied, \u201cJoey Logano. Because he speaks (face with tears of joy emoji)\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kenseth wasn\u2019t the best with words, while Logano has a knack for expressing himself. He may not win everyone over, but he gets his point across, even if it sometimes gets him into trouble.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s what makes NASCAR great: it has its silent warriors and its vocal ones, its heroes and its villains.<\/p>\n
