Question

Are the expectations placed on Joey Lagano too high?

Answer 1

expectations should be high for any one stepping in to joe gibbs equipment

Answer 2

They are pretty high..."The next best thing since sliced bread"!  But...he does appear to possess amazing skill and is probably going to be the new phenom in NASCAR.  After all, he must have something, or they wouldn't have been counting down the days 'til he turned 18!

Answer 3

I thought they were... until I watched the Rockingham Arca race.

Answer 4

i think only joey logano can answer that question.  he is the first of a new breed of drivers - one that has been hyped incredibly by marketing machines.  i can't think of any driver who has had the coverage and the commercials that this guy has had, before he's even run his first major nascar race.

i think expectations are high, and as he is a jgr development driver who will be taking over the winningest car in the nationwide series, people will be expecting great things.  whether he will fulfill them, only time will tell.

Answer 5

I don't know that much about him, but the expectations are certainly high.

Answer 6

Probably, but with guidance and a good Crew Chief, he can and will be a great driver for the Gibbs Organization.

I watched his interview with Wendy on Speed and he really seemed to be very level headed and know this is his dream and golden opportunity and will make the best of it
