JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion – (Finished 4th | 2nd in Championship 4) WALK US THROUGH THIS RACE AND ESPECIALLY THE CONTACT WITH CARL EDWARDS. “It was eventful to say the least. I hate being that close to a championship and not getting it. The team did a great job all day."
Records are a mark and they set something for everyone to shoot at. Jimmie and his team have done that tonight. They set a goal to get where they are and circumstances and fate made it a reality. They did what they needed to do and now they are at seven championships. Congratulations to him and his team.
