Logano reasserts interest in No. 20 JGR Cup car

MADISON, Ill. - Joey Logano says he isn't campaigning to drive the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Sprint Cup car next season.
Even so, the 18-year-old JGR Nationwide Series driver contends that he is interested in the ride, which will be vacated at season's end by Tony Stewart.
Stewart is leaving the team after 10 seasons to become an owner/driver at the new Stewart-Haas Racing, which will absorb Haas CNC Racing at the start of 2009.
“Nothing has really changed," said Logano, who is making his fifth career Nationwide start in tonight's Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International Raceway. "It’s pretty much the same deal. If they offer it to me, I’d take it. It’s something that has been talked about but I’m not in a position to say anything. I don’t really know what I’m going to do yet. ... I’m focused on the No. 20 Nationwide car right now and from there that is [team owner] Joe [Gibbs] and [team president] J.D.’s [Gibbs] deal.”
Logano, who has a win, two poles, two top-five finishes and three-top 10s in his four Nationwide starts, says he didn't expect to be a candidate for a Cup ride so soon.
"I definitely think it’s a cool thing to even have your name in the hat on that one," said Logano, who is sharing time in his Nationwide entry this season with current JGR Cup drivers Stewart, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch. "It’s a great team and a great car. The car has won two championships with Tony driving it. The whole team has been together for so long and to be driving any car for Joe Gibbs Racing right now would be great.
"I’m just trying to make the best of my opportunities now. The only thing I’ve got set in stone right now is this Nationwide car so I’ll make the best of it.”
