I thought that when I clicked on this question, you were going to make some kind of joke as to why Logano is called Sliced Bread, like many people have done before.
But I was actually relieved to find all this information.
At least, I now know I’m not the only one who has done research on the kid and came to find some pretty impressive statistics.
I believe that he has the talent and the ability to become one of NASCAR’s greatest. Not tomorrow, but someday.
Because if he didn’t, Gibbs wouldn’t have him as a driver and he WOULD NOT be getting a Cup ride at the age of eighteen.
Joey’s a good driver.
Once he gets some experience others will see that as well.
The media just put too much hype surrounding him and he was left with unrealistic expectations.
I hate when they do that.
I still think it’s a stupid nickname, though.
It doesn’t matter how good he can do in the feeder series if he chokes when he gets to the top.
He has skill, no question, but will he be able to use it or will he just be another flop?
