Joey Logano Might Focus More on Playoff Races
Joey Logano has almost been the polar opposite of Chris Buescher as he no longer seems to care about where he finishes in a race as long as he wins at the right moments and accumulates a lot of stage points. While purists prefer Buescher's consistent approach, there's no denying that Logano's approach is better-suited to the modern championship format, as much as it perpetually annoys people. So whether Logano runs well effectively comes down to whether the No. 22 team views this race as important or not and that's difficult to predict. It seems more likely that Logano will go hard in every playoff race this year than last year because he didn't accumulate many playoff points, but that's just a guess. As a result, expect him to run a little better at Darlington than he has lately even though he only qualified 14th. He did win here in the Next Gen car in 2022, albeit not cleanly.
