Joey Logano Takes Another Step to Stardom
Joey Logano, the 17-year-old Joe Gibbs Racing development driver, picked up his biggest victory Saturday night winning the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale Speedway.
He held off fellow Busch East driver Peyton Sellers following a green-white-checkered finish to the 250-lap event.
“I just had a great race tonight,” Logano said. “My crew, they picked it up a ton. To be able to run up front all night, this team is unbelievable. … I just have a lot of confidence. That’s what you have to have to win. We came here knowing we can win and that’s what we did.”
Two-time West Series champion Mike Duncan finished third in a frantic finish, edging defending race winner Matt Kobyluck at the start-finish line. Eddie McDonald followed closely in fifth.
Logano won six times during the Grand National regular season, including his first career start in the West Series at Phoenix International Raceway in April. He became the first rookie to win a NASCAR Busch East title and set the record as series
I got to see the race last night on SPEED and really enjoyed it. I have not seen to much of that series and I was pleasantly suprised.
Also, I think I really liked that track as well.

Irwindale is one of, if not the best short tracks in Cali.
