Joey Logano showcased true cooperation and skill as he secured a win in Victory Lane, highlighting the essential role of strong teamwork and communication among his crew. The victory came after an exhilarating late-race surge, underlining the impact of cohesive strategy in motorsports and positioning Logano as a contender for another strong season start.
Collaboration on the Track and in the Pits
Logano emphasized that the coordinated efforts of his entire 22 team made the difference in the tightly contested race. He specifically credited Nick Hensley, the gas man, for delivering precise work that gave him an edge during crucial pit stops. Coleman Pressley, serving as the spotter from atop the roof, also played a vital role by keeping Logano informed and confident in key moments. The partnership with teammate Ryan Blaney stood out as well, illustrating the importance of commitment and working together through the final laps.
“Just a lot of teamwork all the way through. I think about the 22 team in particular. Nick Hensley, our gas man, did a fantastic job getting us in position out of pit road. Coleman Pressley up on the roof giving us great information. My teammate Ryan Blaney being committed and working together. It’s nice when everything works out the way it’s supposed to.”

He pointed to the combined efforts at the shop and by sponsors as a foundation for ongoing success, thrilled to be starting the season on such a high note.
Continuous Improvement Ahead of the Daytona 500
With his focus now turning to the upcoming Daytona 500, Logano acknowledged both the strengths and the areas for potential growth evident in the 22 car’s performance. He praised the car’s speed, noting that it proved competitive throughout the night, but also indicated that some aspects needed fine-tuning before the next major event.
“Yeah, I mean, there’s definitely some things I want to work on, no doubt. It’s always like that. I do think we have a strong race car. It’s a fast race car obviously. We proved that tonight. That’s a good piece. We have to have speed. We’ll work on some handling pieces, but I feel like we’re pretty close.”
