Middletown’s Joey Logano qualified the Team Penske No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion in the ninth position for Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
“I feel like that was hard-fought,” said Logano. “We barely made the first round and barely made the second round and the third round I thought we had a good lap, but the track just cooled off and everyone else went faster too. Continue reading
For the second-straight week, Joey Logano comes into race weekend with an added advantage – the confidence of being a former race winner at the track and this weekend it’s the turn of Michigan International Speedway and the Quicken Loans 400.

Joey Logano and the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford qualified sixth for Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway. As the race began, Logano quickly moved inside the top five in the running order. It was a position that he would become familiar with as Logano ran among the top-five competitors for most of the race and only briefly fell out of the top 10 for a handful of laps during the 200-lap event.
The Shell-Pennzoil Ford was fast and captured the race lead for the first time on lap 26. Logano checked out from the field and led until a round of pit stops began on lap 42.
