Homecoming for Joey Logano
Just before the race began, local Joey Logano said to his team on the radio, “All right boys, home track for me. This one means a lot. I’ll do what I can to get us to the front.”
Logano did not have the homecoming at New Hampshire he wanted, but it was still a good effort to finish fourth.
Keselowski has the backing of a strong team and that was seen just before the race too with his conversation with Crew Chief Jeremy Bullins.
“Let’s just deal with everything as it comes to us and get this thing into victory lane today,” Bullins said to Keselowski.
“Thanks, buddy. I’ll do my best for you today. Let’s keep it going,” Keselowski replied in the affirmative.
