Joey Logano

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Joey Logano, just released from the care center. You have to settle for third place. An eventful day. Bring me through your day and what ultimately happened at the end.

JOEY LOGANO: Yeah, eventful day for sure. Had a little damage from a wreck earlier. Made a good move there at the end, we got to the top and we were rolling and found myself racing for the lead.

I had an opportunity to get underneath the Spire cars in the middle of 1 and 2, I felt like it was the right move, and I did it and put her out in the wind, I guess the damage was more than I thought because just kind of slowed down and I couldn't clear like I thought I was going to.

Unfortunately, that kind of set us a little bit further back. Missed the last lap crash into 1, and off of 4 you just kind of go where they're not. I got spun and came across the line third.

Compared to where we've been in this race recently, to see the finish is great. I ended up in the same building, but at least I seen the finish, and that's just kind of where it was.
