Two wins in four seasons at Joe Gibbs Racing certainly didn’t get the job done for Joey Logano and he knew his days with Gibbs were winding down in 2012 about the same time Roger Penske found himself in need of a driver.

Logano has taken his second chance with a top-tier NASCAR team and become a star of the series. He will be feted Friday night at the season-ending awards ceremony for winning his third Cup Series title; Logano is now the the only active three-time champion in NASCAR and one of only 10 drivers in history to win three or more titles.
“But do you take that with you when you leave a little bit? Yeah, you probably do. You’re a little bitter about it,” Logano added. Logano over the final month of the season used every bit of criticism against him to push him to another level. He wasn’t the new kid in NASCAR anymore and he didn’t have a great year — just a single victory during the regular season on fuel mileage, no less — and he was ranked 15th in the 16-driver playoff field.
