Joey Logano Calls Out the “Awkward Stage” of Chase Elliott’s Home Track With a Hilarious “Puberty” Comment As He Compares It to Daytona and Talladega

After knocking on the door of the victory lane and his knocks going unanswered in the last four weeks, Joey Logano finally entered the victory lane this Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The defending champion ran a pretty dominant race and led 141 of the 260 laps. But it still took a late pass over Brad Keselowski in the final lap for him to win the race.

After the race, Joey Logano had some interesting thoughts and a very interesting analogy about how different this new version of AMS is compared to its elder siblings, like Daytona or Talladega.

Joey Logano thinks Atlanta is “confused” about what it wants to be

In the interview after the race, they asked Logano how challenging it was to run in Atlanta compared to Talladega or Daytona. The Penske driver began by claiming “every Cup race is tough.”

“Doesn’t matter where it is, it’s all tough in its own way,” he said. Logano described with the speedway racing at Atlanta, the handling “comes into play a lot”. He added a driver must think of that in a “different light” than at Daytona or Talladega.

“It’s kind of a mix in between it. Confused on what it wants to be,” Logano emphasized.

Logano thinks AMS is “going through puberty”

Joey Logano said the Atlanta Motor Speedway is a confusing racetrack. However, he used an interesting analogy to further support his opinion on the racetrack. “I’d say it’s going through puberty, it’s in an awkward stage,” he said.

“It doesn’t know what it wants to be. If it’s a mile-and-a-half, superspeedway, at times in the race it feels like it’s going back to a regular mile-and-a-half as tires wear out. But then you put tires on, it’s easy, wide open, changes the game. You just have to be evolving and changing a lot as you go along with it.”

The #22 driver said mentally, it can get exhausting, even though physically it may not be the “most demanding racetrack.” 

“But mentally, yeah, I’m shot,” Logano added.
