Joey Logano took responsibility for the penalty imposed on the No. 22 team by NASCAR due to the webbed glove he wore during qualifying at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The left-hand glove led to a $10,000 fine, resulting in Logano starting from the rear and serving a pass-through penalty, as NASCAR considered it a safety violation and a competition infraction. While Logano did not disclose who came up with the idea, he acknowledged his role in the situation and discussed working collaboratively with the team. Despite the setback, Logano secured the pole position in Las Vegas, showcasing the team’s resilience and performance. NASCAR detected the modified glove during a random review of in-car camera footage at Atlanta, but it is unclear if Logano wore it during Daytona 500 qualifying. Logano defended the glove’s purpose, insisting it was a common practice to block airflow and denied any significant impact on performance.
