Joey Logano emerged as the winner of the Kansas race and earned an automatic qualification into the Playoff finale. However, a number of fans were not happy that a driver with an outside chance of the title made the final 4. In light of that, his crew chief, Paul Wolfe, spoke about his thoughts on their criticisms. He also feels that their win was the last thing the other drivers wanted to see. He said [http://www.asapsports.com/show_interview.php?id=160617], “It doesn’t really bother me. I’m sure this was the last thing that a lot of these guys wanted to see today, was us get to Victory Lane. The 11 had some trouble today. The 4 obviously I think scored a lot of points today. I don’t think he’s definitely a must‑win guy.” Joey Logano in action during the NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-09-13T030919Z_565863133_NOCID_RTRMADP_3_NASCAR-FEDERATED-AUTO-PARTS-400-1.jpg]Sep 12, 2020; Richmond, Virginia, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Joey Logano (22) races during the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Mandatory Credit: Amber Searls-USA TODAY Sports Wolfe acknowledged that the Kansas race was tough because some drivers had the advantage of bonus points. Obviously, it makes life very difficult for everyone else in the running, as eight drivers are fighting for four slots. With Joey Logano locking one for himself, it only serves to add more pressure on the other seven. WOLFE SAYS JOEY LOGANO IS CAPABLE OF WINNING AT SHORT TRACKS However, Wolfe insisted that he is not worried about people wondering if they deserve to qualify. This is largely because Team Penske has been highly competitive ever since the Playoffs began. Even though the team has not won as many races as they would have liked, they should not be underestimated. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Joey-Logano-new.jpg] He concluded, “As far as a car that’s shown a lot of strength on the short tracks. Definitely capable of winning the short tracks. There’s no reason to believe now, with getting the opportunity to go to Phoenix that we’re not going to contend as good as anyone else could.” On a happier note, Joey Logano will be thrilled to learn that his win sees him tied with Dale Earnhardt Jr and Fred Lorenzen. In other words, he now has a career win tally of 26. With three races left on the calendar, can he add to that tally and move higher up the order?

Dale Jr was made it to the Forbes list of the World&#8217;s Highest Paid Athletes in 2017. He earned $21.4 million then as it marked his last season in the NASCAR Cup Series. The majority of Dale&#8217;s earnings have come through endorsements and sponsorship deals. Some of his well-known endorsement partners include Chevrolet, Goody&#8217;s, Wrangler, Axalta, Gillette, EA Sports, and many others. Dale Jr. also owns a media production company named Hammerhead Entertainment. He also works as an analyst for NBC Sports. Additionally, his book &#8220;Racing To The Finish: My Story&#8221; was released in 2018. The book received positive feedback from the fans. Dale&#8217;s a thorough businessman and has ventured into different industries so far. Most relatably, he co-owns JR Motorsports, the racing team that participates in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In addition to this, he also owns a number of automobile dealerships and restaurants. In 2013, he started his podcast The Dale Jr. Download under his Dirty Mo Media productions. Along with his wife, Junior runs a vodka brand named High Rock Vodka. As far as stores are concerned, Dale Jr has his own merchandise store. In addition to that, his team, JR Motorsports, too has its own merchandise store Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Early life Dale Jr was born and brought up in Kannapolis, North Carolina. At an early age, he saw his mother Brenda Lorraine and father Dale Earnhardt Sr. get divorced. With his father being away racing, his stepmother played a major role in raising him. Prior to racing, Junior used to service cars and carry out their maintenance at Dale Sr&#8217;s car dealership. As for his educational qualifications, he is an alumnus of Mitchell Community College with an associate degree in automotive technology. Prior to that, he attended Oak Ridge Military Academy. A few years down the line, he started attending and graduated from Mooresville High School. Even Rodney Childers, the current Stewart-Haas Racing crew chief, and Junior&#8217;s close friend graduated from the same school. In 1996, his NASCAR career officially began with the Xfinity Series. Dale Jr competed in the series for a while, winning two championships in the process. In 1999, Dale Earnhardt Jr made his Cup Series debut, competing in just five races. A year later, he made his full-time debut in the premier class. Dale Jr officially made his Xfinity Series debut in 1996 at the age of 21. Having won the competition twice, he started his NASCAR Cup Series campaign with only fives races in the 1999 season. A year later, he competed full-time and became the first rookie to win NASCAR&#8217;s All-Star race. Dale Earnhardt Jr’s family and personal life Dale Jr. has been happily married to his wife, Amy Reimann. It was in 2009 that the couple first met each other. Amy was hired as the interior designer for Dale’s house in Mooresville, North Carolina. Interestingly, she did not have any idea who Dale was back then. They clicked instantly and started dating. After six years of dating, Junior proposed to Amy in 2015 and tied the knot a year later in December 2016. The wedding took place at Childress Vineyards in Lexington, North Carolina. With just more than a year of their marriage gone, Junior and his wife Amy announced the arrival of their first child, Isla Rose Earnhardt. Interestingly, Amy even took a ride in a NASCAR car while she was pregnant with Isla at Martinsville in 2017. MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA &#8211; APRIL 08: Dale Earnhardt Jr, driver of the #88 Hellmann&#8217;s Fridge Hunters Chevrolet, poses for photos with his wife Amy Earnhardt, and their daughters Isla Rose (R) and Nicole on the grid prior to the NASCAR Xfinity Series Call 811 Before You Dig 250 powered by Call 811.com at Martinsville Speedway on April 08, 2022 in Martinsville, Virginia. (Photo by Meg Oliphant/Getty Images) In October 2020, Isla got promoted to the elder sibling with the arrival of Dale Jr’s second child, Nicole Loraine. Despite racing being in their blood, Junior isn’t that keen on encouraging his daughters to join the sport. He thinks he would rather love it if they get a degree and thereafter get a super job. Dale Earnhardt Jr and his NASCAR journey Dale Earnhardt Jr had an impressive NASCAR Cup Series career. He started his 19-year-long Cup Series career started at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. His debut came in the Coca-Cola 600 where he finished 16th despite finishing the qualifying lap in the eighth-quickest time. Dale Jr&#8217;s one Cup Series season saw him participate in only five races in 1999. That being said, he never had to look back from the 2000 season as he participated full-time and graced the tracks with aggression and passion. He went on to win 26 races in his Cup Series career, taking part in 631 races in total and finishing 149 and 260 times in the top five and top ten respectively. Having won a good amount of races, Dale Jr provided some memorable on-track performances. One of his finest victories came in the Daytona 500 in 2004. It just took Junior four years into his Cup career to win his first Daytona. The race saw him go head-to-head with NASCAR great Tony Stewart. In addition to that, the 2001 Pepsi 400 will also remain a special one for Dale Jr. It was just five months since Dale Sr. died at the 2001 Daytona 500. Junior was making a return to the sport and went on to win the race by overtaking six cars in the final lap. The victory saw Dale celebrate in front of 1,00,000 fans. In his Cup Series career, Dale Jr preferred either the #8 or #88 on his cars. From 1999 to 2007, he drove the Chevrolet #8 for Dale Earnhardt Inc. Post 2007, he joined Hendrick Motorsports and drove the Chevrolet #88. He enjoyed more success while driving the #8 car as he registered 17 wins using that. Dale announced his retirement from the top division of NASCAR in 2017. His last race was at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida. He finished 25th in his final race, failing to make it to the playoffs in his ultimate Cup Series season. Since then, Dale Jr has been a regular figure in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Dale Earnhardt Jr’s awards and achievements Dale Earnhardt Jr has enjoyed a good amount of success in his NASCAR career. He started off with his first NASCAR Cup Series win in 2000 at the Texas Motor Speedway whilst driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc. The victory saw him break his father&#8217;s record for requiring the fewest starts by a driver to secure his first victory. Dale Jr recorded the win in just his 12th start. One of the most notable achievements of his Cup Series Career would be to win the Daytona 500 twice. He did this in 2004 and 2014, with two different teams. By doing so, he became the 11th driver to win it multiple times. In addition to his victories, Dale Earnhardt Jr has a tremendous record when it comes to winning the Most Popular Driver award. Dale Jr has won the award 15 times in his career. What makes it even more amazing is that he did it for consecutive 15 years from 2003 to 2017. Only Bill Elliott, the father of Chase Elliott, has won it more (16 times). Junior has also two Xfinity Series championships to his name when he won it back-to-back in 1998 &amp; 1999. As a motorsport team owner, Dale Earnhardt Jr has won the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship five times in his career. With Dale Earnhardt Inc, he did it in 2004 and 2005. The other three have come with JR Motorsports in 2014, 2017, and 2018. Like his father, Dale Jr is also a NASCAR Hall of Famer. Dale Earnhardt Jr’s NASCAR team Along with his sister Kelley Earnhardt, his brother-in-law L.W. Miller and Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick, Dale Jr runs the JR Motorsports. The team was started in 2006 and is currently strongly competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. JR Motorsports has more than 140 employees and fields four full-time entries in the Xfinity Series. Sam Mayer, Justin Allgaier, Miguel Paludo, and Dale Jr himself form the Xfinity drivers&#8217; lineup for the 2023 season. Their superstar driver Noah Gragson left to join Legacy Motor Club in the Cup Series for the new season. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, Gragson poaching some of the JR Motorsports crew surely wouldn&#8217;t have boded well with Dale Jr. It is going to be an uphill task for Junior&#8217;s team this season without the presence of last season&#8217;s runner-up Gragson. Dale Earnhardt Jr and North Wilkesboro Speedway After hosting over 90 races, the North Wilkesboro Speedway was shut in 1996 citing arguments that the track wasn&#8217;t large or fancy enough. Dale Jr along with local boosters and state officials have been pushing hard for years to revive the venue. Eventually, they succeeded in reviving the Speedway with a late-model stock race in August 2022. Dale Earnhardt Jr was taking part in a late-model stock race for the first time since 1997. For this historic race, he drove a green no. 3 Sun Drop Chevrolet which bore a throwback paint scheme resembling the late model he used to drive in the early 1990s. Most notably, it was his first race at North Wilkesboro since 1995. After qualifying sixth, Dale Jr stayed in and around the top 10 positions. Unfortunately, midway through the race, his rear quarter panel sustained some damage. Despite the event, he came back strongly to finish third, lagging just behind second-placed Mason Diaz and the winner of the race, Travis Kvapil. Dale Earnhardt Jr and the plane crash It was on August 15, 2019, that Dale Jr was traveling with his wife Amy, just over a year-old daughter Isla and their family dog on their private Cessna aircraft. While attempting to land at an airport in Elizabethton, Tennesse, the aircraft crashed because of issues with the landing gear and a section of the right wing. Unfortunately, the plane ran off the runway and went 400 feet down a hill before slamming through a chain-link fence. The aircraft eventually caught fire but all five passengers including the two pilots and the dog escaped in time through the main cabin door. Luckily, all of them survived with no major injuries suffered because of the crash. Junior was back in action at Darlington Raceway just two weeks after the race. Back then, he said, &#8220;It was a very tough experience to go through. I try not to get into that, think about (it happening to my family) too much. Things happen for a reason. You just try to learn from it and move on. Dale Jr added, “I love my daughter so much and enjoy being around her and look forward to watching her grow up and experiencing a lot of things with her going forward. That just made you realize that that much more. I’m just thankful and ready to live our lives.” What is Dale Earnhardt Jr doing post-retirement You can take the driver away from the racing but you cannot take the racing away from the driver. That has been the case with Dale Jr post his retirement from the NASCAR Cup Series in 2017. Despite hanging his helmet, he has been quite actively involved in off-track ventures. He has been seen regularly featuring for NBC as a commentator and as a NASCAR analyst. Dale&#8217;s podcast &#8220;The Dale Jr Download&#8221; has been doing wonderfully well, attracting a lot of listeners. He prefers to give more insights to his fans and relishes discussing controversial topics. Junior is bold and outspoken with his comments on the podcast. In fact, he once even encouraged NASCAR drivers to be outspoken and hold everyone accountable if it&#8217;s bothering their safety in the cars in any fashion. Dale Earnhardt Jr is very active on social media, especially on his Twitter account. He uses it to voice out his opinion time and again, sometimes either using sarcasm or hilarious remarks. He once used the medium to make fun of former Richard Childress Racing driver Clint Bowyer. In addition, he provides his fans with regular updates about his personal and professional life using social media. Of course, Dale Jr has his own team JR Motorsports with which he is very much involved. Furthermore, he and his wife Amy, have collaborated with Sugarlands Distilling Company to start a new vodka brand. It&#8217;s named &#8220;High Rock Vodka&#8221; and is a premium, handcrafted vodka. Dale Jr released his book &#8220;Racing To The Finish: My Story&#8221; in 2018, narrating his story behind the wheel. Since announcing his retirement from the NASCAR Cup Series in 2017, it looks pretty clear that Junior has zero interest in returning back to race at the highest level. His off-the-track ventures keep him heavily occupied. It would take something special to bring him back to the Cup Series and maybe challenge his two-faced rival Kyle Busch. As of now, Dale Earnhardt Jr is at peace and keen on running his team, podcast, and other ventures successfully.

To advance his racing career, they eventually relocated to Georgia from their original home in Portland. Because of his early professional success as a racer, he was given the moniker "sliced bread" at the beginning of his career. He has a sister named Danielle Logano who is a professional figure skater.
<p style="text-align: left">Joey's parents encouraged him to pursue his interest in racing when he was in elementary school. Debbie, his mother, quickly concluded that the young racer needed homeschooling to continue his education. Logano's home-based instruction allowed him the flexibility he needed to hone the abilities and discipline required to become a professional racer.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Loganoâ€™s Wife and Children</b></h2>
Logano confirmed his engagement to Brittany Baca, his childhood sweetheart, on November 13, 2013. He revealed on Twitter, in 2014, that they would get married during the NASCAR off-season.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Loganoâ€™s Fight with Auto-immune Disease</b></h2>
Life has not always been fair to the 2-time Cup Series champion. Logano was diagnosed withÂ Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that targets hair follicles, in September 2019. Although there are no physical side effects or health hazards associated with the condition, Logano has frequently made jokes about the patches of baldness or thinning hair it causes. Following his second NASCAR Cup Series victory in December 2022, Logano finally received effective treatment.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Joey Logano Controversies</strong></h2>
Joey Logano may give off the vibe of a fun-loving individual but he has had his fair share of altercations and they have been brutal. In 2010, the 2-time Cup Series champion was spun around on track in Pocono by Kevin Harvick, and he did not hold back afterward. He charged towards Harvick but was held back. In the post-race interview, Logano said, <em>"It's probably not his fault, you know. His wife wears the firesuit in his family, tells him what to do.â€</em>

He and Kyle Busch got into a huge brawl as well in 2017 after Logano spun the then-Joe Gibbs Racing driver in Vegas. Busch got his 'Rowdy' persona on as he went after Logano that day and it was an ugly scene. Things have calmed down between them now but the 2 former Cup Series champions do share the occasional banter at times.

Joey Logano even took a dig at fans earlier in 2023, calling them spoilt as NASCAR was one of the few sports where they could meet and interact with the drivers a little bit before the races.Â <em>"Our fans are spoiled! And I love our race fans, but think about other sports for a second? When are you going to meet an NFL player? Can you access an NFL player, anytime, like three hours before the game? NO!"</em>

Who is Joey Logano? Joey Logano has cemented his place as one of the greats in NASCAR with two Cup Series victories so far in his career. The Team Penske star most recently won his second Cup championship in 2022. Logano has taken part in more than 500 Cup races throughout his illustrious career and come out victorious on 32 occasions. Nick-named &#8216;Sliced Bread&#8217;, Logano was prolific in the NASCAR Xfinity Series as well, winning 30 out of 176 races. It&#8217;s safe to say that with such accolades to his name, the 33-year-old has managed to build himself a substantial reputation as a revered driver.

Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports Joey Loganoâ€™s Early Life Joey Logano, the son of Deborah B. and Thomas J. Logano, was born in Middletown, Connecticut. Thomas, his father, is of Italian descent. In addition to racing, Joey played ice hockey as a youth. To advance his racing career, they eventually relocated to Georgia from their original home in Portland. Because of his early professional success as a racer, he was given the moniker &#8220;sliced bread&#8221; at the beginning of his career. He has a sister named Danielle Logano who is a professional figure skater. Joey&#8217;s parents encouraged him to pursue his interest in racing when he was in elementary school. Debbie, his mother, quickly concluded that the young racer needed homeschooling to continue his education. Logano&#8217;s home-based instruction allowed him the flexibility he needed to hone the abilities and discipline required to become a professional racer. Joey Loganoâ€™s Wife and Children Logano confirmed his engagement to Brittany Baca, his childhood sweetheart, on November 13, 2013. He revealed on Twitter, in 2014, that they would get married during the NASCAR off-season. The couple eventually tied the knot on December 13, 2014. In January 2018, they declared the birth of their first child, a son named Hudson Joseph Logano. Soon after on May 7, 2020, they welcomed their second son, Jameson Jett Logano. In February 2022, their first daughter and third child were born, who was named Emilia Love Logano.

According to Zac Johnson, the former Cup Series champion has a net worth of a whopping $44 million. It is no surprise considering the fact that he is one of the most successful drivers in one of the world&#8217;s biggest motorsports competitions. Annually, the Team Penske star makes about $9 million as per Rookie Road, making him one of the highest-paid drivers in NASCAR today. It&#8217;s not just racing that pays Logano&#8217;s bills. The 2022 Cup Series champion has several sponsorships and endorsements that go a long way in making him richer as well. There are some pretty big names supporting Logano which include the likes of Coca-Cola, Shell, Pennzoil, and Ford Performance to name a few. As per his official website, Sliced Bread has 19 sponsors. Joey Loganoâ€™s Career Timeline Joey Logano has been a racer ever since he was just six years old. Starting his motorsports journey with quarter-midget racing, the driver soon moved on to greener pastures. In his teenage racing career, Joey Logano competed in the FASCAR Pro Truck Series, USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, NASCAR West Series, and the Arca Menards Series among others. Then, at the age of 18, Logano finally made his debut in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2008 and won his third race in the promotion at the Kentucky Speedway. He also made his Cup Series debut the same year racing in just five races, two of which saw him suffer a DNQ. Joey Logano finally made his full-time Cup Series debut in 2009 and finished 20th. However, his highest-ever finish came in 2018 and 2022 when he clinched the Cup series championship. Joey Loganoâ€™s Partnerships and Brand Endorsements Being the holder of so many impressive accolades, getting sponsors isn&#8217;t the hardest of jobs for Joey Logano. Recently, his team signed a multi-year deal with Hunt Brothers Pizza. It will see the leading convenience store pizza brand sponsor the illustrious Team Penske which won the last two NASCAR Cup Series championships. Logano and The Good Feet Store have also signed a contract recently. This company will leverage its connection with the two-time Cup Series winner to promote foot health. It manufactures and stores custom-fit arch supports for every foot and lifestyle. The driver of the #22 also has long-standing partnerships with some industry heavyweights Shell-Pennzoil and Coca-Cola.

In the Cup Series alone, the driver has seized 32 wins with 274 Top-10s and 28 pole positions. In the Xfinity series, the driver has shone bright with 30 wins, 143 Top-10s, and 36 pole wins. With 8,476 laps led across the three top divisions of NASCAR, the driver boasts an average finish of 13.99. His average start sits at 11.7. Now that&#8217;s what we can call a decorated career! Joey Loganoâ€™s Records Joey Logano&#8217;s talent behind the wheel has truly come off as unparalleled at times! Apart from a two-time sweep of the NASCAR Cup title, the driver has successfully showcased his dominance very often. In 2015, fans were left awestruck when the driver won all three races of the Round of 12 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway, and the Talladega Motor Speedway. But his list of records doesn&#8217;t end there. Joey Logano scripted history in 2016 when, two days before his 26th birthday, he won the highly revered All-Star Race beating the likes of iconic drivers that include Brad Keselowski (P2), Dale Earnhardt Jr (P3) and Tony Stewart (P20, DNF). Joey Loganoâ€™s Achievements and Accomplishments Despite not being one of the older drivers, Joey Logano has accomplishments anyone would be proud of. The Team Penske superstar is a 2-time winner of the NASCAR Cup Series and that&#8217;s just for starters. He became the youngest race winner in the Xfinity Series at 18 years and 21 days. He also became the youngest Cup Series race winner at 19 years and 35 days. Logano was the 2015 Daytona 500 winner, the 2016 All-Star race winner, the 2009 Cup Series Rookie of the Year and has also been named in NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list. Joey Logano, along with Roger Penske, was also invited to the White House in 2019 by then-president Donald Trump. Logano had won the 2018 Cup Series championship just a few months earlier. Joey Loganoâ€™s Charity and Foundation Apart from being a racer, Joey Logano has a charity foundation that helps out children and young adults when life deals them a tough hand. The Joey Logano Foundation strives to encourage people to lead generous lives and makes investments in organizations that provide children and young adults in need with second chances. It has given more than $5,000,000 to organizations nationwide since 2013 to help children and young adults, particularly those residing in the foster care system, through trying moments in their lives. The foundation&#8217;s objectives are to use a platform like motorsports to raise awareness about children and young adults facing tough circumstances and to invest in programs that assist them. Joey Loganoâ€™s Fight with Auto-immune Disease Life has not always been fair to the 2-time Cup Series champion. Logano was diagnosed withÂ Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that targets hair follicles, in September 2019. Although there are no physical side effects or health hazards associated with the condition, Logano has frequently made jokes about the patches of baldness or thinning hair it causes. Following his second NASCAR Cup Series victory in December 2022, Logano finally received effective treatment.
