Joey Logano aspires to learn from Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski – NASCAR news
Joey Logano intends to hone his racing skills by learning from his new teammate, the 2012 Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski.
After a two day test of the new G6 cars for 2013 Sprint Cup which ended on Wednesday this week, this is what Logano had to say about the prospect of learning from Keselowski.
“I think it’s definitely cool having Brad working with me and vice versa. To see the way Keselowski’s mind works is very interesting. I've learned a lot the last couple days and the way he thinks through a race car is a little bit different than normal,
and for me that's cool. I can learn a lot on the way he leads a team and drives a race car and the way he sets up his car,” he said.
According to Logano, Keselowski has the ability to think unconventionally. The way Keselowski approaches his set-up and team work has really impressed Logano.
“The coolest thing about Brad is his ability to think outside of the box - like, way outside of the box,” said Logano.
The 22-year-old has a lot of natural potential and skills as is reflected by his career stats. Logano’s victory at 2008 Meijer 300 in the Nationwide Series and 2009 Lenox Tools 301 in the Sprint Cup Series made him the youngest driver to have won races in
2 of NASCAR’s 3 top divisions. Logano was also the 2009 Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year.
Learning from Keselowski and following in the footsteps of one of the best Sprint Cup drivers will only make things better for Logano as he will find ample opportunities to polish his talent.
With Logano only 22 and Keselowski 28, Penske racing will be entering the 2013 NASCAR season with the youngest driver line-up. It remains to be seen if Keselowski will be able to defend his championship title or not and if Logano will be able to surprise
the world with some miracle or not but one can anticipate that Penske Racing have a fair chance of clinching the title in 2013 as well.
