On Saturday morning, Logano was getting some reps on the kart before heading to Charlotte for practice and qualifying.<\/p>\n<p>Logano posted a video of himself zooming around a homemade road course. &#8220;Waking up the neighbors\u2026,&#8221; he wrote as the caption, with the high-pitched engine noise bellowing through the woodland.<\/p>\n<p>The NASCAR driver has a large estate in North Carolina, and frequently posts videos of vehicles driving around his property. Logano recently shared a video of Hudson racing a quad bike, captioning the post: &#8220;After school rip session with Hudson\u2026 Braap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/newsletter-preference-centre\/?view=Solus&amp;mailingListId=9761f86a-69c1-4771-b7da-6a7feddacc61&amp;utm_source=solusarticle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up to our\u00a0NASCAR newsletter\u00a0here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Logano posted another video of him racing Hudson around the property shortly after, captioning the post: &#8220;Hot Laps w\/ Hudson.&#8221; While Logano&#8217;s son has a perfect environment to follow in his father&#8217;s footsteps, the NASCAR star doesn&#8217;t want to push him into racing.<\/p>\n<p>The seven-year-old enjoys racing with his father, but Logano sees it as nothing more than quality time. Until Logano is sure of what his son wants, he refuses to pressure him.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DLLzu8nJSOI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=f16416c9-d81f-4233-8908-0519447b55dd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Charlie Cavalier<\/a>, Logano admitted that his son is a very talented driver. However, Logano believes guiding him into racing &#8220;could hurt him more than help him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DON&#8217;T MISS&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know if he wants to [race], and I don\u2019t really care,&#8221; Logano admitted. &#8220;He definitely shares the love of cars, which, we have that in common; love that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s very talented, but he just hasn\u2019t shown, like, that \u2018I really wanna race\u2019 yet. He hasn\u2019t really said it yet. So I don\u2019t wanna push him, because it\u2019s different for him than it was for me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s gonna immediately see way more pressure, and they introduce him as &#8216;NASCAR champion\u2019s son,&#8217; and it\u2019s like\u2014that\u2019s not great. He\u2019s no better than the next kid. He hasn\u2019t done nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, like, I don\u2019t want him to believe that, for one, because I think it could hurt him more than help him. If he wants to ride a go-kart around the house, fine. If he wants to race, fine, we\u2019ll go racing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NASCAR driver Joey Logano jokingly claimed that he &#8216;woke up the neighbors&#8217; after racing a go-kart around a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":278307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[143799,9650,4423,1406,1425,62,112024,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-278306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-charlotte-motor-speedway-road-course","9":"tag-joey-logano","10":"tag-motorsport-section","11":"tag-nascar","12":"tag-playoffs","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-sports-section","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115318645231484881","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278306","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=278306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
