Three-time NASCAR Cup champion Joey Logano is over the moon after clinching his third title in a career-defining season in 2024. The No. 22 Team Penske driver has etched his name among the sport’s elite, but when asked what the his greatest treasure in NASCAR, Logano did not list his trophies or accolades; instead, he spoke from the heart about the relationships he’s built over the years.
“The Real Treasure in NASCAR”
In a candid interview with Kenny WallaceLogano explained that the camaraderie inside the garage, especially with his historic team, means much more to him than any championship victory.
“At the end of the day, what will you have? People. It’s all you have. It’s those relationships you’ve built. I think I appreciate these things more than trophies because trophies are cool, but at the end of the day, it’s just a piece of metal.”
Logano’s feelings were on display after his third championship win when he rewarded his team number 22 with a $200,000 bonus, doling out the money dramatically by spilling a bag of money on the table. This team, many of whom have been with Logano for nearly a decade, received the gesture as a testament to the bonds forged over years of shared triumphs and challenges.
“Answering Critics”
However, Logano’s championship victory was not without criticism. Some fans belittled his title, arguing that his regular season performances did not reflect dominance. But Logano had a strong response for those detractors:
“We still had an opportunity to win the championship even though we didn’t have a great regular season. But we lit up when it mattered; we won the races that mattered, and we won the championship thanks to this. And if you don’t like it, you can kiss my ass.”
His fiery comments highlight his frustration with criticism and reflect his confidence in his and his team’s ability to capitalize on the playoff system of NASCAR, which rewards peak performances at the right times.
“A legacy built on relationships and determination”
For Logano, the 2024 season was the epitome of what NASCAR stands for: perseverance, teamwork and decisive performances. While the accolades speak volumes, it’s the bonds he’s built with his team and the lessons learned along the way that resonate most with the 34-year-old.
“It’s great to celebrate with everyone. Everyone shared this moment. These are the moments that are so beautiful.”
As Logano basks in the glory of another championship, he continues to solidify his position not only as one of NASCAR’s best drivers, but also as a true leader in the garage—valuing people and relationships above all else. Whether his detractors change their minds or not, one thing is clear: Logano is running by his own rules and isn’t looking back.
