Nascar – Logano formalizes his arrival at Penske

Youngest winner of a race in history Nascar Sprint Cup at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2009, Joey Logano is considered one of the future stars of the championship. At only 22 years old, the young American joins one of the most prominent teams in the category. He replaces AJ Almendinger, fired by Penske Racing and suspended indefinitely by Nascar officials after a positive doping test.

« I am very excited to join Penske Racing and begin a new period in my career, Logano explains. It will be an honor to drive for Roger Penske and fight for victory and the championship. »

Cette année, Joey Logano est toujours en course pour The Chase, mais l’Américain devra s’imposer sur l’ovale de Richmond ce week-end au volant de la Toyota Camry du Joeb Gibbs Racing s’il souhaite gagner son ticket afin de se battre pour le titre jusqu’à la fin de la saison.
