JOEY LOGANO, No. 21 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion (Qualified 10th – Finished 7th) “My team did a good job and we executed fairly well. We had a couple bad restarts but a good one there at the end to make up for it. I would say we finished about where we deserved. I feel like we were anywhere from a fourth to 10th place car, somewhere in that area and it depended on the adjustments.” HOW HARD WAS THE PASSING OUT THERE WITH THIS PACKAGE? “It was hard. Really, really, really hard.”
