Jimmie Johnson  Jeff Gordon praise Joey Logano’s for Becoming Number 1 (one) NASCAR Top Driver In New Era after climb to a third NASCAR Cup title

AVONDALE, Ariz. — On the day that Joey Logano joined some of NASCAR’s elites with his third career Cup championship, two drivers he’s chasing marveled at what the Team Penske driver has accomplished.

Jimmie Johnson stood on pit road about half a mile away from Logano’s celebration at Phoenix Raceway and noted the qualities he’s seen from Logano.

“We see it year in and year out,” Johnson said after finishing 26th in the season finale won by Logano. “His abilities, his drive, his focus. And a lot of it has to do with timing, timing of your manufacturer, timing of your team, a track that is strong for you, and we certainly know this track has been strong for Penske and Ford for the last couple of years, and man the championships are so much about timing to have that come together.”
