Image: InSyde Media<\/p>\n<p>While he\u2019s quickly become a winner within the Tickford development system, Logan\u2019s journey to Super2 success has been longer than hoped.<\/p>\n<p>Having finished second in the Toyota GR Cup in 2023, Logan graduated to Super2 with Walkinshaw Andretti United.<\/p>\n<p>He ended up 12th in his rookie season while teammate Zach Bates won the title and was 14th last year, without a top five finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a really tough few years,\u201d Logan reflected in the aftermath of Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t really do much in the last two years of Super2, just really struggled, and for me personally it was tough, a lot of dark moments where you feel like you\u2019re not good enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of financial pressure when you\u2019re trying to race in these categories, and it\u2019s tough on your family and everyone around you who supports you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s such a reward, not just for me, but for my family, and everyone who backs me who has told me I\u2019m capable of this. This is for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a real privilege to race for such a good team in Tickford and be able to deliver this result.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Logan has suddenly emerged as Tickford\u2019s spearhead in a season where it is facing a far greater challenge than last year\u2019s all-conquering campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow Tasmanian Lochie Dalton leads the way after an off-season switch from Tickford to the Blanchard Racing Team, driving a Tickford-built car.<\/p>\n<p>Logan has rocketed to second while Brad Jones Racing\u2019s Brad Vaughan and Tickford trio Goodall, Nash Morris and Gomersall round out the top six.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019d be cool if it was a Tassie runaway show for the championship,\u201d said Hobart-based Logan, who is 75 points behind Dalton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I can just keep working on my process and executing, then hopefully I can fight him for the championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s no reason why I can\u2019t take it to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goodall will kick-off Tickford\u2019s wildcard program in Townsville before co-driving with Thomas Randle in the Enduro Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Gomersall will then tackle the Ipswich sprint round and co-drive the team\u2019s wildcard at The Bend.<\/p>\n<p>Morris is meanwhile set to contest the Enduro Cup with PremiAir Racing for a second consecutive year, co-driving with Declan Fraser.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/speedcafe.com\/supercars-news-tickford-racing-2026-wildcard-program-details-bathurst-1000-reuben-goodall-ben-gomersall\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tickford drops Bathurst 1000 from wildcard program<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Campbell Logan was victorious in Darwin.
