Joey Logano has firmly established himself as a driver who cannot be taken lightly on the race track. His championship victories in 2018 and 2022 speak volumes about his prowess. And that’s why Logano’s fans are usually over the moon about collecting die-casts of his cars. But it’s not just miniatures up for sale anymore. There’s something even more exciting in the mix.

Here’s the scoop: Apparently a seller on Facebook Marketplace has claimed of putting up a gem for the taking. It’s a No. 22 Pennzoil Ford, once driven by the two-time Cup Series champ Joey Logano himself. Sure, it’s one of the older models, but here’s the kicker: for a cool 50 grand, according to the seller, fans have the chance to not just admire, but actually own this piece of racing history.

$50k for Joey Logano’s alleged 2011 Cup car raises eyebrows

A recent Reddit find has stirred up quite the buzz. It’s a listing for what’s claimed to be Joey Logano’s 2011 Cup Car, decked out with the No. 22 Pennzoil sponsorship, and it’s up for grabs at just $50k. The car, labeled as a 2011 Ford Fusion NASCAR Cup Car, is said to be parked in Thomasville, NC. But here’s the twist – back in 2011, Joey Logano was actually racing under the Joe Gibbs Racing banner, handling the Toyota No. 20. So, how can Logano’s #22 Ford from the 2011 Cup Series be on sale for $50k?

To add to the confusion, 2011 wasn’t exactly a banner year for Logano. He had a rough ride, managing just four Top 5s, six Top 10s, and a couple of pole positions, ultimately finishing 24th in the points.

But back to the car in question – fans are crying foul over the listing. Doubts are swirling on Reddit, with users calling out the seller for what many believe to be a bogus claim. The so-called “2011 Joey Logano car” might just be a pit stop away from being labeled a scam.

A bunch of eagle-eyed NASCAR fans quickly caught on that the supposedly 2011 car in the listing wasn’t adding up. They chimed in with comments like, “That’s not a 2011,” “The chassis may be 2011, but the body certainly is not lol,” and “The body isn’t. The chassis might be.” Another fan added a twist, revealing, “Same car listed on my local markeyplace for 25k. I knew something was weird about that listing lol. Strange.”

One fan couldn’t help but poke fun at the whole Joey Logano car situation, saying, “For 50 g’s buy a car you can run at your local track.” One fan got into the technicality to reveal: “Not a gen 6 either. Best guess, it’s an old showcar on a COT chassis. The decklid is a dead giveaway. Composite Resources supplied the cup decklids and they arent braced with metal. I bet it’s got fiberglass bumpers, roof flaps, and is missing the Newman bar also.”
