Nascar news
Before Mark Martin retired (for the first time) from full-time Nextel Cup racing, he was asked who he would like to see take over driving duties in his No. 6 Ford.
"I'll tell you exactly who I would put in the 6 car in a heartbeat," Martin said. "Joey Logano."
At the time, not many had heard of Joey Logano. And for good reason. He was only 15.
"I am high on Joey Logano because I am absolutely, 100-percent positive, without a doubt that he can be one of the greatest that ever raced in NASCAR," Martin said that day. "I'm positive. There's no doubt in mind."
Was Martin crazy or just trying to make some noise?
Well, since then all Logano has done is prove Martin correct. He won in just his second USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series start, signed a development deal with Joe Gibbs Racing, beat Kevin Harvick in a stock-car race less than 24 hours after Harvick won NASCAR's All-Star Challenge, become the youngest champion in the history of any of NASCAR's touring divisions, and recently won the Toyota All-Star Showdown – a race that included all of NASCAR's top developmental drivers.
No longer is Logano's talent just a figment of Martin's immagination, but a bona fide reality.
