When he won the Playoff race at the Kansas Speedway, Joey Logano became an unlikely contender for the Final 4. However, he is one of 2 drivers in the ‘Final 4’ to win the Cup series.

Before the Kansas race, he was lingering on the tail of the Top-8 but took an unexpected victory at the Kansas Speedway.

Criticism aside, Joey Logano is far from a ‘bad driver’. Sure, he may have made a lot of enemies because of his aggressive driving and unapologetic nature, but he is an excellent driver. His Cup Series championship in 2018 is more than enough proof of his prowess behind the wheel.

In the 2020 season, Joey Logano notched up 3 wins, including the all-important Kansas win. The other two came at Las Vegas and Phoenix itself.

This could potentially mean that he stands a very good chance of winning the championship. That win in Phoenix is also his second ever win at the track, which only increases his chances.
