The Home Depot Team Notes of Interest

  • Joey Logano returns to the "Monster Mile" in Dover, Del. this weekend where he will be making his third start at the one-mile track.

In two starts at the track, Logano has finishes of 15th and 42nd in The Home Depot Toyota.
  • Logano and The Home Depot Team are currently 19th in the Sprint Cup Series point standings following a 27th-place finish at Darlington last weekend. Logano is still just 120 points out of the 12th position, the cut off for the Chase for the Sprint Cup and 61 points behind 18th-place driver Tony Stewart.

Logano Quotes:

On Dover…

"The last few weeks have been tough, so hopefully we can get back on track this weekend. Dover is a great race track. Hopefully I can keep all four tires on the ground this time. I know I will have to hear about it all weekend, but it's not going to affect my focus at all. Dover is the track I made my first NASCAR start two years ago, so it will always be a special place for me and a place I expect to run well at. I consider it a big Bristol, and we got the pole at Bristol earlier in the year and if it wasn't for the tire blowing out we would have had a great finish."

"We are spending Tuesday and Wednesday at VIR, as a team, spending time testing is a good time to get re-focused and work on communicating. I had a tough race at Darlington, so getting some time with The Home Depot guys and having a good test will help a lot."
