An Interview with:

Q. Joey, if I'd have told you in mid-May you would have two wins by mid August, would you have believed me?

JOEY LOGANO: Don't let the boys get hot. We're pretty strong right now (smiling). Awesome to see the speed in the 22 again. Gosh, it was a great car. We've had a great car here the last five races. We haven't been able to capitalize on the win. Been so close.

Sweet redemption today.

Q. You said we are back. Is it time for everybody else to take this team as a legit championship threat?

JOEY LOGANO: I think so. We got a strong team, no doubt. Obviously Paul made some great calls there. The 19 was better than us that last run. I was trying to just manage the tires, able to get that gap. Yeah, kind of a fun back-and-forth battle. Fun strategy with different strategies out there. Typical Richmond race.

Pretty cool to get one here. Yeah, on to Louden and get another one.

Q. The 19 catching you, what was going through your mind?

JOEY LOGANO: Yeah, he was faster. I kind of took off there. Okay, I'm going to be okay, I just have to pass the 20. I just fell off harder the last run there (smiling).

Yeah, it was a fun, like I said, cat-and-mouse game there, back and forth. Yeah, getting the points that we need. This is important. We need to get ourselves back in the top 10. I assume this gets us close.

Q. 9th. How about that?

JOEY LOGANO: Even better. We'll keep grinding.
