Overview

  • Logano will make his 600th career start this Sunday at Dover Motor Speedway at age 35, becoming the youngest driver ever to hit that mark and joining just 33 drivers in NASCAR history to do so.
  • Since his 2008 debut, he has accumulated 37 race victories, 169 top-five finishes, 292 top-10s, 32 pole positions and three NASCAR Cup Series championships.
  • Logano has publicly vowed to retire once he feels he no longer brings value to Team Penske, emphasizing accountability to his team and owner Roger Penske.
  • He has identified Ricky Rudd’s record of 797 consecutive starts and Jeff Gordon’s 797-race “Iron Man” streak as his next career targets, saying he believes he can surpass them if he stays healthy.
  • Early in his career, Logano and his father falsified his birth certificate so he could race Legends cars at age 10, reflecting his early determination and resourcefulness.
