A television show called Race for the Championship featured Logano. It was a show showcasing the off-track lives of NASCAR Cup Series drivers. During an episode, we saw Joey Logano answer the phone through his car, and when the camera turned around to show how Logano had saved her number, the screen read, “My Hot Ass Wife.”

Logano was finally asked what that was all about and soon we got to know that it wasn’t Logano who saved it that way. The two-time champion said, “She put it in and it’s been that way for seven years now. Seven or eight years. I think when we got married she put it in like that. She’s changed the name of multiple people in my phone so they come up different.”

He further explained, “I really didn’t think about the name that was on my car when we were filming all this. That was just what it is and it’s funny.” Logano also explained how sometimes he has had to say the phrase out loud for voice command in his car to recognize the contact and dial it via hands-free mode. At times, he has to do so, even when his kids are in the car with him. He later suggested that he liked the joke and could turn it into a T-shirt for the fans.
