Joey Logano Fast at Phoenix but Disappoints in Qualifying
8 months agoJoey Logano's No. 22 Ford was the fastest car in practice at Phoenix on Friday afternoon, but the Penske Racing driver wasn't able to replicate that speed during qualifying on Saturday. When the Shriners Children's 500 goes green on Sunday, Logano will roll off the starting grid from 23rd-place. Although that is not the worst thing in the world, it is definitely a bit of a disadvantage, as track position is very important when it comes to the racing at Phoenix Raceway. Still, Logano had one of the fastest cars on the track during practice this weekend, ranking second-fastest in both 15- and 20-lap average on Friday. At Phoenix, Joey is a three-time winner, but he struggled in the two races here last season, coming home with finishes of 11th- and 18th-place. It looks like the No. 22 Ford will be faster than that this weekend, though, and Logano should be able to contend for a top-10 result (if not better).
