Joey Logano was not considered a NASCAR Cup Series championship favorite after the regular season ended. Despite statistically ranking 15th in the championship standings, Logano secured his spot in the postseason with a victory at Nashville Superspeedway. Surprising many, he became the first driver locked into the Championship 4 after a win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, raising questions about overachievement. Logano thrives in the postseason, as evidenced by his confidence and success in high-pressure situations. His crew chief, Paul Wolfe, has been instrumental in their success as one of the most accomplished pairings in recent years. Their focus remains on the upcoming races to maintain their advantage and potentially secure a third championship.
