Joey Logano and GameStop Team Grab Top-10 Finish to Round Out 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series Season
The Finish: Joey and the GameStop team put an exclamation point on the
2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series season Saturday night at Homestead-Miami
Speedway. After staring ninth, Joey and the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team
fought a loose racecar and multiple restarts where he was struggling to
find grip, eventually coming home with a 10th-place finish. The top 10
was Logano’s 15th top-10 run in 22 starts this season. He also
finished with one win, one pole and eight top-five finishes for the 2011
season.
The Race Recap: Logano and the GameStop team got limited practice Friday
due to rain but we're still able to qualify ninth Saturday afternoon in
the Gamestop/PDP/Afterglow Toyota. When the green flag flew on the
final NASCAR Nationwide Series event of the season, Logano began a slow
and steady charge to the front, picking off cars one at a time despite
multiple early cautions, settling into a nice rhythm riding around sixth
place. Following the first round of pit stops it quickly became
apparent that Logano’s No. 20 Toyota was too loose and the team would
have to work on the handling, especially the few laps coming after
restarts.
