As the NASCAR Cup Series heads into the heart of the season, all eyes are on Kansas Speedway for this weekend’s highly anticipated AdventHealth 400. Among the drivers gearing up for the challenge is two-time Cup Series champion Joey Logano, who shared candid thoughts about his track record at Kansas during a pre-race interview.
Speaking with NASCAR on FOX, Logano admitted that Kansas Speedway has delivered mixed results for his team over the years. “This track has been a little hit or miss for us,” he said. “Sometimes we come here and we’re right in the mix, and other times we’re searching for speed all weekend. It really depends on how well we hit the setup.”
Logano, who pilots the No. 22 Ford Mustang for Team Penske, has seen both highs and lows at Kansas. He scored victories at the 1.5-mile oval in 2014 and 2020 but has also suffered his share of mid-pack finishes and tough breaks. With the next-gen car continuing to level the playing field across intermediate tracks, Logano emphasized the importance of precision.
“This place is tricky,” he continued. “You’ve got multiple lanes to run, and it changes a lot during the race. You’ve got to be on your game with adjustments and reading the track. If we can stay on top of that, I think we’ve got a shot.”
The AdventHealth 400 is shaping up to be a crucial event for drivers hoping to solidify their playoff standing. With the summer stretch fast approaching, every point counts. Logano currently sits just outside the top five in the standings and is hungry for a win to lock himself into the postseason.
“We’re always here to win,” Logano said with determination. “We’ve got a strong team, and if we execute the way we know we can, we’ll be in the fight at the end.”
Green flag for the AdventHealth 400 is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, and with Kansas Speedway’s reputation for thrilling finishes and high-speed drama, fans can expect an action-packed race. Joey Logano will be one of the top contenders to watch as he aims to turn Kansas into a hit once again.
