Joe Gibbs Racing rookie Joey Logano wins rain-shortened New Hampshire Cup race
By Jared Turner - SceneDaily Staff Writer
Sunday, June 28, 2009
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Joey Logano scored his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory Sunday in the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
David Griffin
NASCAR Scene
LOUDON, N.H. – A tire problem that sent Joey Logano spinning in Sunday’s Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway turned out to be the unlikely recipe for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup victory as rain shortened the race.
Logano, who spun alone on lap 182 because of a flat left-front tire, recovered to win by stretching his fuel and staying on track when most of the other lead-lap cars made their final stops under green in the closing laps. Logano became the series' youngest winner in history with his victory at 19 years, one month and four days.
Logano was going to need to pit for fuel in about another five laps when rain began falling and NASCAR red-flagged the event 28 laps shy of the scheduled distance.
The rain kept coming, the race never restarted, and Logano had his first win in his 20th career Cup start.
“We overcame a lot today,” said Logano, a native of Middletown, Conn., who considers New Hampshire his home track. “This is really cool.”
Hendrick Motorsports’ Jeff Gordon, who was first among the drivers who pitted late, finished second followed by Penske Racing’s Kurt Busch, Michael Waltrip Racing’s David Reutimann and Stewart-Haas Racing’s Tony Stewart.
Not everyone was as fortunate as Logano.
Two multicar accidents highlighted an accident-plagued event that featured 11 cautions, including three for solo spins by Patrick Carpentier, Jamie McMurray and AJ Allmendinger, respectively, in the first 28 laps.
The second big wreck was the worst of the two.
After the cars in front of him were slow to get up to speed, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing’s Martin Truex Jr. was tagged by Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch on a lap-175 restart and went spinning in front of most of the pack at the end of the frontstretch.
McMurray, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, Casey Mears, Reutimann, Brian Vickers and David Ragan all got a piece of the fracas, which forced a 12-minute, 48-second red-flag flag period for cleanup.
Truex, who was running inside the top 10, had to check up on the restart when Dale Earnhardt Jr. spun his tires just ahead, but blamed Busch for setting the melee in motion.
“Kyle just lost his head like he usually does when something bad happens,” Truex said. “So he just decided he wasn’t going to lift, he was going to turn me on the straightaway for no reason at all, and we’ve got a tore up race car.”
Vickers also pointed the finger at Busch.
“It looked like the 18 [of Busch] was just completely impatient – very normal,” Vickers said. “[He] just hooked the 1 [car of Truex Jr.] in the right rear and turned him in front of the field.”
The other major accident occurred earlier – on lap 59 – when a nudge from Red Bull Racing’s Scott Speed sent Michael Waltrip Racing’s Michael Waltrip spinning in Turn 2 and collected Robby Gordon, Elliott Sadler and Paul Menard.
The lead changed hands eight times in the opening 50 laps as Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch all took turns on the point.
The other driver who took an extended stay out front was polesitter Stewart.
Stewart, who started the race in a backup car, fell to fourth on the opening lap and continued to lose positions before stopping for adjustments under an early yellow flag. But he rallied back into contention and led before losing a couple spots during a slow final pit stop.
Stewart remained the series points leader, holding a 69-point edge over Gordon.

Jun 28, 2009 at 5:32 PMWhile the naysayers will all say that a rain-shortened win doesn't count, it's like Kyle Petty said: "the check cashes the same and the trophy goes on the shelf in the same place." Joey might not have had a good enough car to win on the track, but he had luck, and in racing, it's just as much luck as it is skill.
Report as AbuseJoey's a good racer, and deserves this win. While I'd have loved to see the race start 30 minutes earlier so that we could have seen all 301 laps (how long was the pre-race 'festivities,' 3 hours?) finished, but that's NASCAR for ya.
Congrats Joey, you earned it with strategy.

Jun 28, 2009 at 6:13 PMCongrats to Joey. As I said when David won this year, a win is a win. It doesn't matter if it's a rain shortened or a fuel mileage win, at some time you'll get one that way. It was good strategy on their part. I don't believe I'm saying this, but give Kyle credit, he took the blame for the accident.

Jun 28, 2009 at 8:30 PMThey did mention it today Gwen. Yes, Jimmie Johnson has lead the most laps this year, in his broken down Chevy. Gwen, you are certain now Joey did get the win and it's a real win? It's the same as fuel mileage wins isn't it? Joey is not a fluke. The fluke drives the 18 car. Good day for Jr as he is making progress. Kasey had a good day as well. Now only 1 point out of the chase. Nice to hear the King put an end to the FALSE rumors about going to Toyota in August. My guy showed he still can do it. Great finish Jeff. Sometimes the rain helps and other times it doesn't. Very exciting race, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, and Jimmie Johnson put on a great racing show.

Consistency is what wins championships, which I have been saying all along, not laps lead. You did make it clear on many post that by August Kasey would be driving a Toyota. This is about Joey and I was happy for him to get his first win even in a toyota. Having lived in CT for 20 years it was a home town win. Anyone remember the Hartford Whalers? LOL

I really appriciate the comments from #33 and #26! But, it is still happening a day later! Like I said yesterday, I don't even have an account here, it's like free commenting! Do you think that that person, who used to comment all the time under "anomyous,"--only with mean trash--wasn't a real member too? Maybe it wasn't the same person each time??
I know this isn't a virus, because I ran my four different scanners and they came up with nothing!
Oh, and Meg, I love your comments! You always serch for and provide accurate information!
Thank you for listening to my long-winded post!
THIS IS FUN!!!
Maybe I should make an account (if I do it will be pumpingironanddrinkingprotein99)!
YOU GUYS HERE ROCK!!
I would love to meet all the commentors in person someday!
BTW--if my spelling seems childish, my keyborad is acting up and my spell check isn't working!

On topic at hand: Joey is a talented young driver, he deserves this win so much after all that he has been through! I am so glad that maybe all of his critics will stop saying that he can not win a Cup race! Although, they will probably say it is a fluke because of the rain. :-(

Report as AbuseI almost wonder is scenedaily.com does this either to allow people to expirence posting (great fun!) or they do it for articles they believe will be popular? Hum....
The other article I referred to posting on, like 3 months ago, was about Dale Jr. I don't know if you guys remember me asking you all to pray for my friend with cancer? Now only 3 months later--after chemo--he is totally free!!!
Going off topic again here, but didn't you guys think that the Lifestyles article about the New man (I do not recall his name), his son, and Dale Sr. was beautiful?

No. 44 -- Do you suppose Carl Edwards cares that you don't like him? It was great to see the young man in victory lane with his smile and good manners. I know his parents are very proud of him. If the King, with his 200 wins, can say he'd rather be lucky than good, then that should be good enough for any of the other drivers!

Oh and your question about people without computers, is kind of rhetorical. Have you ever read actual books from the 15, 16, 17, and early 18th centuries? Obviously not, because if you had, you would know that it is no easy fate.

He sounds like him (esp. in the Jermy May. posts) and he used to brag about taking the last lap pictures of Dale Sr. and other pictures of Dale Jr.. Didn't he have some kind of relationship with a Teresa who used to post here? Maybe it was only suggestions.

Jun 30, 2009 at 11:46 AMA rain-called win does count but what I object to is how quickly NASCAR called this one just so they could give the win to Joey. That was totally unfair to the rest of the drivers. I have never seen them call a race so fast for rain. NASCAR has always taken their time in the past, at least given it a chance to stop raining and dry the track for longer than a few minutes. Look how long they made Reutimann wait a couple weeks ago and it was pouring down rain that day not a light rain like Sunday.
Report as AbuseNASCAR still likes to control things as much as possible and play with the outcomes.
