2012 Celebrity Guest Driver NASCAR’s Joey Logano
We are proud to announce Joey Logano, one of NASCAR’s brightest young stars, as the celebrity guest driver of the 2012 Cat Car for Kids in the IWK 250.
Logano is the youngest winner in two of NASCAR’s top three divisions (NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series). 2012 has proven to be a stellar year for the young driver with his scorecard including…
- One NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win – Pocono (June 10)
- One NASCAR Sprint Cup Series pole – Pocono (June 9)
- Five NASCAR Nationwide Series wins – California, Talladega, Darlington, Dover, Pocono – the most of anyone (year-to-date)
Logano, now 22, started racing at six years of age driving quarter-midgets in his home state of Connecticut. He raced and won in several divisions as he honed his talents. 2008 was a marquis year for Logano with his first starts in all three of NASCAR’s top divisions: Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. His first Nationwide win was in 2008 and his first Cup win in 2009.
