It seems like Joey Logano and Daniel Suarez are classic car aficionados. In fact, the Penske driver even has a small show [https://www.instagram.com/p/CIUJ1woAWjK/] called ‘Carography with Joey Logano’. In the latest episode, he brought out his 1930 Ford Model A Ratrod. From there, he drove to pay Suarez a visit, as he is quite fond of Volkswagen cars. Suarez was only too happy to show off his Volkswagen bus. In addition to that, he also displayed a few Volkswagen Beetles. Daniel Suarez also confessed that the bus was his dream car for a very long time. According to the Mexican, he got it from Pennsylvania, and it boasts of 36 horsepower. In addition to that, it has a top speed of 50 miles an hour. Obviously, it is not a good car when people are in a hurry, but it is the perfect car to take a group of friends. Suarez does not bring the bus out very often, but he does drive the Beetle. WHAT ELSE DID DANIEL SUAREZ TELL JOEY LOGANO ABOUT THE COLLECTION? His Beetle came from California and the best part is that it is hard to scratch the paint. He bought most of the parts separately and shipped them off to Mexico for restoration. This car is much faster than the bus, as it tops at around 80-90 miles an hour, and boasts of 170 horsepower.

(Photo by Brian Lawdermilk/Getty Images) Upon seeing this, Logano revealed that his son Hudson loves the movie, Herbie. In fact, he even celebrated Halloween in a Herbie costume. Daniel Suarez also disclosed that he named one of his Beetles, ‘Raton’, which is Spanish for ‘Mouse’. This was largely because of the car’s dull grey color and yellow lights. Interestingly, Suarez’s father tried to sell the car a long time ago. However, nobody wanted it, because it looked ‘ugly’, despite being in good condition. This was enough to convince the Suarez family to retain it.

<h1 style="text-align: center"><b>NASCAR Cup Series: Origin, Teams and More</b></h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>What is the NASCAR Cup Series?</strong></h2>
NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) is the authorizing body for stock-vehicle racing in North America. It was established in 1948 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Currently, the organization fields four types of tracks: Intermediate tracks, Superspeedways, Short Tracks and Road Courses.

[caption id="attachment_2675743" align="alignnone" width="5162"]<img class="wp-image-2675743 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024-02-20T005209Z_1919194866_MT1USATODAY22564783_RTRMADP_3_NASCAR-DAYTONA-500.jpg" alt="NASCAR" width="5162" height="3322" /> Feb 19, 2024; Daytona Beach, Florida, USA; NASCAR Cup Series drivers Corey LaJoie (7), Kyle Busch (8) and A.J.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Origin</strong></h2>
The first-ever NASCAR race was held at Charlotte Fairgrounds Speedway on June 19, 1949 and Christian David "Jim" Roper was the victor after racer Glen Dunaway was disqualified for making illegal adjustments to his car.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">On this day in 1949, NASCAR held its first-ever "Strictly Stock" race.</p>
Thirty-three drivers raced at Charlotte Speedway, six of which were future NASCAR Hall of Famers. Jim Roper was declared the winner following a disqualification to Glenn Dunaway. <a href="https://t.co/yBUDRcRxVo">pic.twitter.com/yBUDRcRxVo</a>

— NASCAR (@NASCAR) <a href="https://twitter.com/NASCAR/status/1670832065690972160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 19, 2023</a></blockquote>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Why is it named Cup Series? </strong></h2>
The NASCAR Cup Series is the pinnacle of the racing arrangement in the NASCAR classification. The arrangement started in 1949 and was called the Strictly Stock Division. The series was subsequently known as the Grand National Division from 1950 to 1970.

Then, in 1971, it started renting its naming rights to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and was alluded to as the NASCAR Winston Cup Series till 2003. From the next year onwards, the series came to be known as the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series till 2007 after a partnership with Nextel.

Sprint obtained Nextel in 2005 and 2008 saw the arrangement being renamed as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Sprint remained the sponsor of the NASCAR Cup from 2008 to 2016. It was reported in December 2016 that Monster Energy would be the sponsor; therefore, the arrangement was renamed the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series from 2017 to 2019.

However, after decades of name changes, in 2017, the organization finally decided to shed off its old image and simply be named as the NASCAR Cup Series, with series sponsors being called 'Premier Partners'.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>What is the format of the Cup Series?</strong></h2>
The NASCAR points system has been a complicated affair to say the least. Over the years, the organization has tried several iterations, namely the Latford system, the Chase and the current elimination playoffs format among others, to discern one that would be fair to each driver.

While the earlier system saw drivers being awarded points on the basis of prize money in a particular race, in 1972 a new format was introduced. This time the points were awarded on the basis of laps completed. However, even that came with its own flaws and just two years later, in 1974, the organization introduced point calculation based on a mathematical formula. However, given the complexity of the equation, Bill France Jr, the former CEO of NASCAR decided to step in and call upon his close friend Bob Latford, to come up with an efficient way, which later came to be known as Boot Hill Format or the Latford Model.

With equal points awarded in all races, as New York Times aptly put it: <em>"Mr. Latford set up his points scale to reward consistency rather than flashes of brilliance, and drivers seem to like it that way."</em>

This system was perhaps the longest-running one during that time, being replaced in 2003, by The Chase format. Currently, the NASCAR Cup Series operates on the Playoff Format. The schedule consists of 31 oval races, 4 road course races, one street track race, and 4 non-championship races to be held on ovals. This also includes 16 playoff races, with four elimination rounds, namely, Round of 16, Round of 12, Round of 4 and Championship 4.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Teams</strong></h2>
As of 2024, the NASCAR Cup Series has 16 full-time teams participating and three manufacturers, namely Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford. As for the team with the most number of victories and championship, Hendrick Motorsports has has an undebatable upper hand, with 305 Cup Series wins and 14 drivers championships.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Venue</strong></h2>
The first championship race was reportedly held at Martinsville Speedway, a half-mile oval, on October 16, 1949. Currently, the final race of a Cup season is held at the Phoenix Raceway, which is a one-mile, low-banked tri-oval race track located in Avondale, Arizona, near Phoenix.

[caption id="attachment_1351857" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1351857 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-07T003206Z_1075855806_MT1USATODAY19376372_RTRMADP_3_NASCAR-CUP-CHAMPIONSHIP.jpg" alt="Joey Logano NASCAR" width="1920" height="1289" /> Nov 6, 2022; Avondale, Arizona, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Joey Logano (22) races in the final laps of the Cup championship at Phoenix Raceway.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Championship</strong></h2>
The NASCAR Cup Series hosts three different championship under one name: The Driver's Championship, the Owner's Championship and the Manufacturer's Championship. The driver's championship as the name suggests is the award given to the driver that has emerged as the winner at the end of a season. On the other hand, the Owner's Championship aims to reward the team at the top of the points standings. The driver with the most championship wins are Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson. Additionally, Rick Hendrick-owned Hendrick Motorsports has won a record-breaking 14 championships till date.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-1195372 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ezgif.com-gif-maker-3-78.jpg" alt="Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt NASCAR" width="1850" height="1253" />

On a similar note, the Manufacturer's Championship sees Original Equipment Manufacturers(OEMs) being awarded a championship based on how races their cars managed to dominate and the points accumulated. In this regard, US-based manufacturer Chevrolet has racked up the most Cup Series wins at 42, followed by Ford at 17, and Toyota at 3.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Track Types</strong></h2>
As mentioned earlier, the NASCAR Cup series organizes its races on four different types of tracks, namely, Intermediate tracks, Superspeedways, Short Tracks and Road Courses.

When it comes to Intermediate tracks, it simply means <em>"any track greater than one mile in length, with the exception of both Daytona and Talladega" </em>according to the official NASCAR website and currently the Cup Series drivers compete on the following Intermediate tracks/Speedways :
<ul>
 	<li>Atlanta Motor Speedway (1.540-mile, Quad-Oval)</li>
 	<li>Charlotte Motor Speedway (1.500-mile Quad-Oval, including a 2.280 miles Road Course)</li>

 	<li>Pocono Raceway (2.500-mile, Triangular Oval)</li>
 	<li>Talladega Superspeedway (2.660-mile, Tri-Oval)</li>
</ul>
The short tracks (less than 1 mile in length) that are part of NASCAR are:
<ul>
 	<li>Bristol Motor Speedway (0.533-mile, Oval)</li>
 	<li>Eldora Speedway (0.500-mile, Oval; Currently not in use)</li>

 	<li>North Wilkesboro Speedway (0.625-mile, Oval)</li>
 	<li>Richmond Raceway (0.750-mile, D-shaped Oval)</li>
</ul>
As for Road Courses, NASCAR makes use of the following race tracks:

 	<li>Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (2.459-mile, Currently not in use)</li>
 	<li>Chicago Street Race (2.14 miles)</li>

 	<li>Sonoma Raceway (1.99-mile)</li>
 	<li>Watkins Glen International (2.45-mile)</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Crown Jewel Races</strong></h2>
While NASCAR has several racetracks that it competes on, there are a couple venues that are held in high regards. Currently there are four such venues/races, namely the Daytona 500 held at the Daytona International Speedway, the Coca-Cola 500 held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway , the Brickyard 400/Verizon 200 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Southern 500 at the Darlington Raceway.

Till date, Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman and retired NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon has the most number of Crown Jewel race wins (21), followed by Legacy Motor Club team owner Jimmie Johnson (14) and retired NASCAR driver Bobby Allison (13).

[caption id="attachment_1691261" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1691261 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jimmie-Johnson-Jeff-Gordon.jpg" alt="Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon" width="1920" height="1280" /> January 20, 2017 - Charlotte, North Carolina, USA - Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon introduce Rick Hendrick at the NASCAR Motorsport USA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Friday, January 20, 2017, in Charlotte, N.C.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Cars</strong></h2>
NASCAR is an ever-evolving sport and till date, there have been several iterations of the cars used during races. If we go back to the very inception of the sport, the first kind of vehicle that was used used to be called Generation - 1 (1948-1966), followed by Generation - 2 (1967-1980) and Generation - 3 (1981-1991). Later the Generation - 4 (1992 to 2007) was introduced , and then Generation - 5 (2007 -2012) and Generation - 6 (2013-2021) came into play. And currently, NASCAR features the Generation - 7 car that is also known as the Next-Gen.

Anothe notable model was the Generation - 5. Dubbed as the<em> "Car of Tomorrow"</em>, this model featured flaunted prominent front splitters under the bumpers and larger rear wings. Apart from that, according to NASCAR, the car also had <em>"significant safety advancements and a return to symmetrical bodies". </em>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series debut at the Street Course</strong></h2>
The NASCAR Cup Series has come a long way since its initial days. The organization has always been open to developments and one of the most exciting ones came in 2023,when the tourney made its Street Course debut at Chicago.

In a bid to turn make the schedule even more exciting, NASCAR officials were reportedly in talks with Chicago authorities for a number of years, with one attempt of a Chicago street race even dating back to the 1980s. However, owing to political pressure, that plan failed to materialize. Now, fast forward to four decades later and authorities were finally geared up to host an exciting, first-of-its-kind race in downtown Chicago.

[caption id="attachment_1911252" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1911252 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-07-03T052154Z_1117738559_MT1USATODAY20983749_RTRMADP_3_NASCAR-GRANT-PARK-220.jpg" alt="NASCAR" width="1920" height="1280" /> Jul 2, 2023; Chicago, Illinois, USA; A general view as cars race along Grant Park during the Grant Park 220 of the Chicago Street Race viewed from the NEMA Chicago buliding.

Designed by race simulation video game developer iRacing, the race aimed to showcase the city's major landmarks such as the Buckingham Fountain, the Grant Park and the Soldier Field Stadium, among others.

The first iteration of the race came in July of 2023, with New Zealand born driver Shane van Gisbergen clinching victory in his first-ever NASCAR race. If that's not iconic, what is?

Nick-named 'Sliced Bread', Logano was prolific in the NASCAR Xfinity Series as well, winning 30 out of 176 races. It's safe to say that with such accolades to his name, the 33-year-old has managed to build himself a substantial reputation as a revered driver.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Early Life</b></h2>
Joey Logano, the son of Deborah B. and Thomas J. Logano, was born in Middletown, Connecticut. Thomas, his father, is of Italian descent. In addition to racing, Joey played ice hockey as a youth. To advance his racing career, they eventually relocated to Georgia from their original home in Portland. Because of his early professional success as a racer, he was given the moniker "sliced bread" at the beginning of his career. He has a sister named Danielle Logano who is a professional figure skater.
<p style="text-align: left">Joey's parents encouraged him to pursue his interest in racing when he was in elementary school. Debbie, his mother, quickly concluded that the young racer needed homeschooling to continue his education. Logano's home-based instruction allowed him the flexibility he needed to hone the abilities and discipline required to become a professional racer.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Wife and Children</b></h2>
Logano confirmed his engagement to Brittany Baca, his childhood sweetheart, on November 13, 2013. He revealed on Twitter, in 2014, that they would get married during the NASCAR off-season. The couple eventually tied the knot on December 13, 2014. In January 2018, they declared the birth of their first child, a son named Hudson Joseph Logano. Soon after on May 7, 2020, they welcomed their second son, Jameson Jett Logano. In February 2022, their first daughter and third child were born, who was named Emilia Love Logano.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
When it comes to net worth, it is safe to say that Joey Logano has done quite well for himself. According to Zac Johnson, the former Cup Series champion has a net worth of a whopping $44 million. It is no surprise considering the fact that he is one of the most successful drivers in one of the world's biggest motorsports competitions. Annually, the Team Penske star makes about $9 million as per Rookie Road, making him one of the highest-paid drivers in NASCAR today.

It's not just racing that pays Logano's bills. The 2022 Cup Series champion has several sponsorships and endorsements that go a long way in making him richer as well. There are some pretty big names supporting Logano which include the likes of Coca-Cola, Shell, Pennzoil, and Ford Performance to name a few. As per his official website, Sliced Bread has 19 sponsors.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Career Timeline</b></h2>
Joey Logano has been a racer ever since he was just six years old. Starting his motorsports journey with quarter-midget racing, the driver soon moved on to greener pastures. In his teenage racing career, Joey Logano competed in the FASCAR Pro Truck Series, USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, NASCAR West Series, and the Arca Menards Series among others.

Then, at the age of 18, Logano finally made his debut in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2008 and won his third race in the promotion at the Kentucky Speedway.

He also made his Cup Series debut the same year racing in just five races, two of which saw him suffer a DNQ. Joey Logano finally made his full-time Cup Series debut in 2009 and finished 20th. However, his highest-ever finish came in 2018 and 2022 when he clinched the Cup series championship.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Partnerships and Brand Endorsements</b></h2>
Being the holder of so many impressive accolades, getting sponsors isn't the hardest of jobs for Joey Logano. Recently, his team signed a multi-year deal with Hunt Brothers Pizza. It will see the leading convenience store pizza brand sponsor the illustrious Team Penske which won the last two NASCAR Cup Series championships.
<p style="text-align: left">Logano and The Good Feet Store have also signed a contract recently. This company will leverage its connection with the two-time Cup Series winner to promote foot health. It manufactures and stores custom-fit arch supports for every foot and lifestyle. The driver of the #22 also has long-standing partnerships with some industry heavyweights Shell-Pennzoil and Coca-Cola.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Joey Logano’s NASCAR Career Stats</b></h2>
Joey Logano has had an abundance of victory lane visits throughout his career. In the Cup Series alone, the driver has seized 32 wins with 274 Top-10s and 28 pole positions. In the Xfinity series, the driver has shone bright with 30 wins, 143 Top-10s, and 36 pole wins.

With 8,476 laps led across the three top divisions of NASCAR, the driver boasts an average finish of 13.99. His average start sits at 11.7. Now that's what we can call a decorated career!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Records</b></h2>
Joey Logano's talent behind the wheel has truly come off as unparalleled at times! Apart from a two-time sweep of the NASCAR Cup title, the driver has successfully showcased his dominance very often. In 2015, fans were left awestruck when the driver won all three races of the Round of 12 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway, and the Talladega Motor Speedway.

But his list of records doesn't end there. Joey Logano scripted history in 2016 when, two days before his 26th birthday, he won the highly revered All-Star Race beating the likes of iconic drivers that include Brad Keselowski (P2), Dale Earnhardt Jr (P3) and Tony Stewart (P20, DNF).
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Achievements and Accomplishments</b></h2>
Despite not being one of the older drivers, Joey Logano has accomplishments anyone would be proud of. The Team Penske superstar is a 2-time winner of the NASCAR Cup Series and that's just for starters. He became the youngest race winner in the Xfinity Series at 18 years and 21 days. He also became the youngest Cup Series race winner at 19 years and 35 days. Logano was the 2015 Daytona 500 winner, the 2016 All-Star race winner, the 2009 Cup Series Rookie of the Year and has also been named in NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers list.

Joey Logano, along with Roger Penske, was also invited to the White House in 2019 by then-president Donald Trump. Logano had won the 2018 Cup Series championship just a few months earlier.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Charity and Foundation</b></h2>
Apart from being a racer, Joey Logano has a charity foundation that helps out children and young adults when life deals them a tough hand. The Joey Logano Foundation strives to encourage people to lead generous lives and makes investments in organizations that provide children and young adults in need with second chances. It has given more than $5,000,000 to organizations nationwide since 2013 to help children and young adults, particularly those residing in the foster care system, through trying moments in their lives.

The foundation's objectives are to use a platform like motorsports to raise awareness about children and young adults facing tough circumstances and to invest in programs that assist them.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano’s Fight with Auto-immune Disease</b></h2>
Life has not always been fair to the 2-time Cup Series champion. Logano was diagnosed with Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that targets hair follicles, in September 2019. Although there are no physical side effects or health hazards associated with the condition, Logano has frequently made jokes about the patches of baldness or thinning hair it causes. Following his second NASCAR Cup Series victory in December 2022, Logano finally received effective treatment.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Joey Logano Controversies</strong></h2>
Joey Logano may give off the vibe of a fun-loving individual but he has had his fair share of altercations and they have been brutal. In 2010, the 2-time Cup Series champion was spun around on track in Pocono by Kevin Harvick, and he did not hold back afterward. He charged towards Harvick but was held back. In the post-race interview, Logano said, <em>"It's probably not his fault, you know. His wife wears the firesuit in his family, tells him what to do.”</em>

He and Kyle Busch got into a huge brawl as well in 2017 after Logano spun the then-Joe Gibbs Racing driver in Vegas. Busch got his 'Rowdy' persona on as he went after Logano that day and it was an ugly scene. Things have calmed down between them now but the 2 former Cup Series champions do share the occasional banter at times.

Joey Logano even took a dig at fans earlier in 2023, calling them spoilt as NASCAR was one of the few sports where they could meet and interact with the drivers a little bit before the races. <em>"Our fans are spoiled! And I love our race fans, but think about other sports for a second? When are you going to meet an NFL player? Can you access an NFL player, anytime, like three hours before the game? NO!"</em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano in Media</b></h2>
Joey Logano and Kyle Busch were the guest hosts of the October 26, 2009 episode of WWE's Monday Night RAW. The two were in the ring with pro-wrestling legends Big Show and Chris Jericho.
