Logano Heads To Dover With Momentum

May 2, 2018 Posted by Matt Pencek Featured Sports, National Sports

Joey Logano’s Sunday win at Talladega continued a dominating start to the 2018 season. Ten races in and nine times Logano has placed in the top ten.

It is that momentum Logano carries with him to Dover for the May 6th 400 mile race. Logano has never won at the Monster Mile and has placed outside the ten in three of last four races. “The speed (at Dover) is kind of like Bristol but you are going faster and its bigger,” Logano said. “You are jumping down into the corners with the big elevation change. It is a place that is physically demanding not only on the car but on the driver as well.”
