Joey Logano: NASCAR prospecting is broken

[@alanluscombe8a553]

I used to despise Joey but I’ve liked him for a while now. Seems like a good dude and solid driver

[@vincentodomscatl24]

I feel the same. I used to hate Kyle Busch, Joey, Brad and Hamlin. But now I don't, I respect them and their talent and love for the sport.

[@aszilagyi100]

Politely explained Joey

[@WilmerCook]

Me to, hated him for years. Loved it when Kenseth wrecked him. But now kinda like him, very good driver, and all the drivers have are rich kids now.

[@christophergranger9278]

That's just because you misunderstood him and bought into the bs. I've always thought Joey was well spoken and handled himself well. Much respect for him!

[@Aspen_Gold]

@@christophergranger9278 except Joey wrecks the field for wins. He’s a dirty racer. Otherwise yeah he seems like an ok dude off the track.

[@JJA1987]

Grandpa’s Boy Gibbs is a prime example of how broken it is

[@bamafan762]

After these interviews I'm a damn Joey Logano fan for real. His transparency of the sport is eye opening

[@iandc7050]

hmmmm just watch him on track and do a post-race interview again and you'll remember why you can't stand him.

[@CapstoneTider]

As fans, love or hate him, I think we can all agree that Joey represents the sport well to the outside world.

[@illiogicalphilosophy2481]

The Rusty Wallace of our generation. Nicest guy off the track but the most aggressive, one of if not the most talented, can whoop your ass on any track in the sport.

[@TSi99999]

Joey is a great Champion. Was almost out until Brad Kesekowski helped convince Mr. Penske to bring him on. Could you imagine if JGR gave him another couple years in the 20? They may have had four or five championships instead of just KB's 2.

[@eddietat95]

Same in F1. Same in WEC/sportcars. Same in Indycar. Money gets drivers rides, now, and talent is an afterthought. MotoGP is better than the others in this respect, but not by much.

[@turgid_member8717]

Heartbreaking: the worst person I know just made a great point.

[@jc1424]

that is absolutely correct would love a nepotism clause in the top 3 series

[@johnnyquist8362]

Petty, Earnhardt, Elliot, Busch, Gibbs, Wallace, Dillon ,LaBonte. Bodine, Jarrett, Waltrip, Allison, and many more?

[@jc1424]

@@johnnyquist8362 They can build their own careers if racing is really in their blood. Worked well for Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney.

[@tomdalfonzo9959]

The nepotism clause really should've been enacted in NASCAR HQ. Maybe the sport would still be going very strong.

[@scotcoon1186]

@John Nyquist Richard and Kyle Petty, Dale Sr, Bobby Labonte, the Bodine's, and Wallace's started out in the days before big money came in throwing around cubic dollars to go faster. And for all of them, there were dozens of others who pieced together a car, showed up at the track, and got in the show hoping to get a break.

[@iandc7050]

damn that hair transplant is amazing work. thank you roger penske

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Nascar TV deal is 8.2 Billion with the Tracks getting 65% Nascar gets 10% And 25% to the Teams!! Remember Nascar owns most of the Tracks with Bruton Smith owning the others and a few single owners So basically 75% of the 8.2 Billion is for the France family!! Same As those Silly Cashback commercials wow 5% cashback Give me a Dollar and I will give u a Nickel and keep the Rest!!

[@TheMW2informer]

Glad to see him say himself that his dad bought his way into the sport. I’ve criticized drivers that came from similar backgrounds and still will but, Joey is a great guy, total respect to him.

[@AlonsoRules]

aero and repaves have made the cars too easy to drive

[@StevieLeeWilliams]

Lack of tire wear also

[@scotcoon1186]

The trouble with making changes trying to control costs, is the teams just spend the money on different technology. No testing? OK, they 3d scan the track and build a shaker rig. No practice? OK, time for a better simulator. A time machine to send a list of technologies to prohibit back to about 1990 is about the only way to really reduce costs today.

[@500jacob]

nascar needs to give the teams more of the revenue in the next deal to solve this problem.

[@joshuapowers4623]

I'll keep saying it. The biggest issue is the public as a whole has become too poor for things like brand loyalty to favorite drivers sponsors to make those massive sponsorships worthwhile. The majority of states races are held haven't had a min wage increase in 15yrs. Want those sponsorships to come back support politicians who want to increase wages, lower healthcare cost thru single payer ins, bringing the corporate tax rate back up to 40-60% like when the country was most prosperous. When it doesn't cost anything to keep the money, companies won't spend it. Politics effects everything, like it or not.

[@SambalBadjak64]

Please re- read your post. It is difficult to understand. The sentences run on, and words are mispelled.

[@thecommonsenseconservative5576]

LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg how stupid

[@terrybrown9206]

He is doing well

[@kspice2803]

He gets hair plugs?

[@jamesscully529]

He did have something done to counteract the autoimmune disease he has. It was not naturally falling out. Apparently, still a work in progress.

[@randomgamer19170]

It’s a wig from hair club for men

[@andyjeffery1660]

Sounds like the old days of CART and pro golf.

[@sasquatch7234]

I'd still argue you'd almosy have to be from a rich family for those sports.

[@johnnyquist8362]

Racing is a very expensive sport. Too expensive for virtually everyone. Money wins. Big money wins more.

[@terrybrown9206]

It is expensive

[@tobia.1281]

motorsport is always going to be prohibitively expensive

[@dannyruckert9359]

Years ago, drivers like Petty, Earnhardt, and now Johnson, invested in a team and NASCAR. Gordon got stock in Hendrick Motorsports. Nowadays, all drivers have the mentality of Hurray for me, F*** You. And Nascar turned it's back to the true fans to search for greener grass.

[@jamesdrake2378]

he looks strange with the new hair setup.

[@davidbateman1066]

Wow that hairline appeared out of nowhere

[@smudent2010]

Definitely had work done

[@Devil3R]

how does he have hair now? Plugs? That's weird.

[@randomgamer19170]

Hair club for men, it’s a wig. He looks 15 years younger

[@FalseHope61]

Good to see he got his balding fixed. He’s too young looking to be losing his hair.

[@gumarovasquez6293]

First!

[@thegreattreon0177]

He made some great points but I still don't like him as a driver

[@pumpkinking5174]

Nice wig
