A three-time champion, 37-time Cup Series<\/a> race winner, Daytona 500 winner \u2013 what else is there for Joey Logano to achieve? At 35 years old, Sliced Bread has grown up and in many ways fulfilled the high expectations placed on him at an early age. The thing is, he\u2019s not done yet. <\/p>\n

Joey Logano might be the next driver after Denny Hamlin to win 60 career races. He has a long way to go, but if Logano ended his career today, he would be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. <\/p>\n

During his media availability in Chicago, Logano was asked, essentially, what keeps him motivated. He was the youngest driver to win and achieve many accolades in the sport. He has won championships, races, and a crown jewel. Logano has multiple All-Star and Clash wins. In 2023, he was named to NASCAR\u2019s 75 Greatest Drivers list. <\/p>\n

So, what keeps him going? Joey Logano answered earlier today. <\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I honestly feel like I have to prove myself every day. I always say, man, \u2018What you did yesterday is yesterday?\u2019 Right? Tell me what you\u2019re gonna do tomorrow, that\u2019s the important stuff,\u201d Logano said. \u201cYou know, the history books and people\u2019s memories are short, right? And people say, I say too, \u2018You\u2019re only as good as your last race,\u2019 and it really feels that way a lot of times. Yeah, it\u2019s been, I\u2019ve had a great career, you\u2019re right. A lot of great accomplishments, a lot of cool moments. Have I hit all the markers that I set out to hit? No, no, I haven\u2019t. So, I still got plenty to go out there and want to achieve for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Joey Logano\u2019s point, there is much for him to achieve. Becoming a 4-time champion would put him in an elite club with only four other drivers in NASCAR\u2019s history. Perhaps one of the most hated and undervalued greats, Logano has a record that leaps off the page compared to his peers. <\/p>\n

However, he only has one crown jewel win. He has never won a Southern 500, Brickyard 400, or a Coca-Cola 600. With one win this season <\/a>coming off his championship in 2024, Logano is hoping another late-season boost carries him to another Championship 4. From there, anything can happen. <\/p>\n

Joey Logano has accomplished more than most. Yet, he still has more to prove, and plenty of years to do it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A three-time champion, 37-time Cup Series race winner, Daytona 500 winner \u2013 what else is there for Joey…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":39199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[1406,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-39198","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-nascar","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114797358827196203","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39198","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=39198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
