Loser: Joey Logano’s Attempted Pit Stop

We all know the luck that Joey Logano had last season in the Chase, sweeping the Contender 12 before wrecking twice in the Eliminator 8 and missing out on a chance at the championship.

He had another set of unlucky circumstances unfold on him during one of his pit stop’s on Sunday. First off, he had trouble getting onto pit road and ran into the orange cone. That resulted in a commitment line penalty which eventually led to him going a lap down.

Shortly after that, one of Logano’s crew members narrowly avoided being run into by the No. 22 machine as it entered it’s pit box.

Before Logano went through this rough series of events, he had been resting in the top-10 and had a decent car. However, it took just one bad stop to change his day.
