'When you take all the championship racing stuff out, it doesn’t matter at the end of the day.'
It is often overlooked that two-time Cup Series champion Joey Logano began his NASCAR career with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008. That explains Logano’s emotions after hearing of the Saturday night death of Coy Gibbs, the 49-year-old son of football and NASCAR legend Joe Gibbs.
Logano left JGR to join Team Penske in 2013. His overpowering victory on Sunday afternoon at Phoenix Raceway delivered his second Cup title and the third for owner Roger Penske. Throughout the day, Logano frequently thought of the Gibbs family.“I found out before the race and I still honestly don’t know the details of anything,” he said during his post-race media obligations.
“I feel for Ty more than anything,” said Logano, the father of two young sons and an infant daughter. “When you take all the championship racing stuff out, it doesn’t matter at the end of the day. It’s great that we’re up here and we won a championship, but it doesn’t matter when something happens to your family.
