Joey Logano is in a unique position. The driver could deliver a Cup Series three-peat for Team Penske at Phoenix Raceway, cementing their dominance in the Next-Gen era. His teammate Ryan Blaney, who is the reigning champion, will also be in contention for the Bill France Cup, while Tyler Reddick and William Byron occupy the remaining two Championship 4 spots. With the stakes higher than ever, the Connecticut native is hoping to avoid the controversy that occurred at Martinsville.

Despite accusations of race manipulation flying around, Joey Logano has thrown shade at NASCAR for not taking action against the No. 24 Chevy team, who ultimately benefited from Austin Dillon and Ross Chastain’s assistance at the 2024 Xfinity 500.

Joey Logano hopes for a clean race in Phoenix

The penultimate race of the Cup Series season had no shortage of drama and controversy. Ross Chastain, Austin Dillon, and Bubba Wallace, along with their respective teams, were punished by NASCAR for race manipulation, resulting in the suspension of key personnel as well as a $600,000 overall fine. Driving under the Chevrolet umbrella, the Trackhouse and Richard Childress Racing drivers were found guilty of blocking incoming traffic from making the pass over William Byron, who was competing for a spot in the Championship 4.
