Early Life
Joseph Thomas Logano was born on May 24, 1990, in Middletown, Connecticut, the son of Thomas J. and Deborah B. Logano. As a child, Joey grew up playing ice hockey in addition to racing. And his career in racing began in the 90s when he was still in elementary school. As a six-year-old, Joey was a quarter midget racer who won the Eastern Grand National Championship in the Jr. Stock Car Division. He also won the Jr. Honda Division Championship in 1998, the Lt. Mod Division Championship in 1999, and three New England Regional Championships in the Sr. Stock, Lt. Mod, and Lt. B divisions later in 1999.
NASCAR
Joey Logano's first major NASCAR win came during the Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway in just his third start in the 2008 Nationwide Series. He was awarded the Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year Award in 2009 after becoming the youngest winner ever of any of NASCAR's top racing series. Throughout the years, Logano continued to prove a dominant force in the Nationwide Series as well, including a record-setting 2012 season that saw him lead all Nationwide Series drivers with nine wins, six poles and 1,065 laps led while competing in 22 of 33 races.
Logano previously drove the No. 20 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing winning two races, landing 16 top-five finishes, and 41 top tens from 2009 to 2012. He's the first driver born in the 1990s who has competed in NASCAR's three top divisions. In 2015, he became the second-youngest Daytona 500 winner. He's also the youngest driver ever to win in both the Cup and Xfinity Series.
