Joey Logano only managed to get one top-five finish so far in the 2024 season. Logano, a driver for the Ford teams in the NASCAR Cup garage, is going through a nightmare season. None of the Ford teams have been able to secure a win in all three national NASCAR series. The recent race in Kansas was especially devastating for RFK Racing, as they lost by a tiny margin of 0.001 seconds in their No. 17 Ford Mustang.
The lead driver in the Ford garage, who was the inaugural champion in the Next-Gen era, is facing a challenging season. Logano has only managed one top-five finish and two top-ten finishes in the 12 races held so far. Consequently, he is currently outside the top 16 in the championship standings. At the beginning of the season, the veteran driver remained calm about the situation. However, he has now started to feel anxious.
Logano revealed that the No. 22 team started to panic a bit as they explored all possibilities to gain an advantage. However, they are uncertain about the best course of action to develop their cars, which has left them a bit lost. Logano emphasized the need for them to make a change soon.
😬 «You start hitting the panic button a little bit […] it’s not a great place to be, if I’m honest.» Commented Logano on the challenges faced by the No. 22 team, Team Penske, and Ford Performance after 12 races in the season. Read more here: [link to article]

Joey Logano has 13 more races in the regular season to secure a victory and a spot in the playoffs. Both he and the team must execute their strategies flawlessly to return to the winner’s circle.
