It's going to come down to one mile one lap
two. Teammates who have you got Logano or Blaney
? This is Blaney's final shot at it. He
goes up high, there's traffic low. Joey Logano
steps into history. He's a three time cup series
champion. How do you like me? Now?
Says Joey Logano? Well, I feel like we
should start this interview by calling you three times.
How does that sound? Sounds great. Sounds really
good. It's, uh, it's such a grind
. It's so hard to, to get to this
point. Um You know, we were saying,
like, just get one of them is, is
challenging, but there's one goal when the 22 starts
the season to win the championship. It doesn't matter
how many wins it takes, it doesn't matter how
we get there. It's about winning the championship and
, uh, when it all comes down to it
at the end and it's really just, there's no
way you can replicate it to do that all together
. It was really, really cool. One is
difficult. Two is epic. The three is legendary
and you're adding your name to the history books with
David Pearson, Lee Petty Hill Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip
, Tony Stewart and now Joey Logano, when I
say your name with those drivers that I mentioned,
what does that mean to you? A lot?
A lot? I don't know. I don't even
have words to say it. Um, not that
I thought about it much going into this weekend.
It means more once you're with the people that you
work with for a long time, I've been with
Penske for 13 years now and you get to know
the people really, really well and to celebrate with
them and see how excited they are. This is
it, right? Like, so it's neat to
, to be involved with it, the others,
it means even more to see their faces light up
as much as mine does. That, that means
the most you and Ryan Blaney have brought three back
to back to back championships to Roger Pinsky. Not
many drivers can say they did that for an owner
. So what does that mean for you guys particularly
you to bring two championships to Roger Pinsky in the
last three years? I mean, Roger took a
chance on me 13 years ago, an incredible team
and, and we've been able to do some incredible
things since then. Um Yeah, just uh a
real blessing to, to work with Roger because he
just wins, right. The guy just wins.
I couldn't ask for a better situation than that.
And uh I'm truly blessed to, to have that
opportunity. So to deliver for Roger. Right.
The expectation is real too, right. He takes
a chance on me. But if I didn't win
it, it ain't gonna last long. All right
, let's be honest. So really special to be
able to do that for Roger and be able to
celebrate with him here. Um Memories that will be
with me forever. How does this one feel different
than your other two championships? I think it means
more as you get older. I don't know if
that sounds kind of 34. Yeah, I mean
, I'm not old by no means, but I
think as you, you start to care about other
things, as you get older, you start to
come a little bit more sentimental about things. Um
, like watching Martin retire today, like you start
to think about those things, like what that means
and, um, and, and like the work
that he's put in over the years and, and
what that's like, like hanging it up, like
I couldn't imagine, but someday that will happen.
You're 34 years old. Where are you at?
Are you at your peak? Are you at your
prime? Are you on the, the bottom half
of your career? Where are you at? I
mean, I say, I remember Pete just one
. Say we're doing pretty good. Um, you
know, it's, uh, it's, it's hard
to say, it's hard to say, um,
your game changes. I've noticed, um, your
strengths change as you as you do things longer.
Um, you know, when you're, you're young
, you come in with a ton of speed but
you hit everything but the lottery, right? Like
you just out of control but you're going fast,
you know, and then you, you kind of
hit a moment where, you know, you're,
you kind of hit both. I feel like that's
where I'm at right now is where I can,
I can find speed, still qualify good. I
can still make big things happen at restarts, which
we did tonight. Um And you have the experience
to go along with it where you can be smart
and be a really smart racer, right? And
I think the next thing that happens is over time
when you see it, uh with other drivers,
you start to lose a little bit of the,
the quickness. Um Hopefully that no time soon,
like I'm only 34. I might be doing this
for a long time, but I started young,
but I like to think I have a lot more
years left. I would be remiss we've obviously talked
about Britney and those moments that you guys have shared
as a family throughout your career and throughout your championships
, but your kids are older now, they're starting
to realize who you are as a parent, but
also what you do for work. How cool do
they think dad is? How cool do your kids
, especially your sons think that you are like,
you said the other two are, are young,
but my oldest he gets, and he remembers getting
the flag, the flag from the, the last
time we won here, it sits in his room
. Um, now we have a trophy for all
three of them. Perfect. Told my wife we're
gonna have to have another kid, but I don't
know about that. I don't know if that's gonna
be over. Well, win a championship, 1/4
1. You have to have another one. I
mean, it seems like this way has been.
I love it. Well, congratulations. Thank you
. We're excited to crown you a champion tonight.
But watch this 2025. What's the goal for Joey
Logano? Do it again?
