NASCAR’s Five Modern Day Villains

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

Joey Logano

There’s honestly no one reason to have a great level of disdain for Joey Logano. His cockiness is almost cringe worthy, he is sometimes overly aggressive on the racetrack and he runs his mouth like he’s already won a title or two. With that being said, I think a lot of his hatred has to do with his great level of success in such a short amount of time in The Sprint Cup Series.

Think about it, what reason do fans really have for hating this guy? He races like the late great Dale Earnhardt, talk’s trash to other drivers like Darrell Waltrip and carries himself with the same amount of cockiness and confidence as any other Sprint Cup Champion from yesteryear. I guess it’s true that if there’s one thing that NASCAR fans hate, its success at a young age.

Logano is dealing with a lot of the stuff now that Jeff Gordon when he was young. Granted, Logano doesn’t have the same success but there is a parallel between the two of them.
