Contender No. 2: Joey Logano

Stats at Martinsville:

  • Wins: 0
  • Top-5’s: 4
  • Top-10’s: 5
  • Laps Led: 435
  • Average Finish: 14.6

Joey Logano has had a solid 2016 Chase effort so far. Though he looked like one of the drivers that could’ve potentially been eliminated last weekend, he came through and earned a clutch win at Talladega.

This weekend we’ll all remember the big “what-if” for Logano last season. We all know what happened in last year’s Chase race. He was taken out by Matt Kenseth late in the race after starting from the pole and leading 207 laps. In what certainly looked like a winning effort, Logano ended up finishing 37th and being eliminated in the Round of 8.

But despite that incident, he’ll look to move on and compete at a track that he’s raced well at in the past few seasons. In fact, since 2014, Logano has registered all 435 of his career laps led at Martinsville and he’s finished in the top-5 in three out of the last five races.

He’s had a lot of success at short tracks in the past and will look to pick up where he left off at last weekend and make his way back to the Championship 4.
