With limited on-track practice time in NASCAR these days, most drivers lean heavily on simulators to practice and study the circuits. But three-time Cup champion Joey Logano has an additional advantage up his sleeve, a racetrack right in his own backyard.<\/p>\n

When asked recently about how his neighbors handle the revving engines and tire squeals echoing through the area, Logano laughed it off<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of an every-week occurrence. There are a lot of good perks with being a race car driver, but one of the coolest things, if you do this long enough, is you can afford to build your own racetrack, and it\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like the coolest thing in the world. It\u2019s like, as a child, that\u2019s all you wanted is to be able to walk out your front door and jump in your go-kart or your four-wheeler and go have some fun. It\u2019s like every little boy\u2019s dream, so I built a racetrack, and it\u2019s awesome. I don\u2019t know if my neighbors love it or not, but I do, and they all seem to be pretty cool about it. They haven\u2019t really said anything, so that\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Logano, not much has changed since his childhood. The same kid who used to race around after school on a go-kart or quad still finds joy in doing exactly that after a long day at work.<\/p>\n

What makes it even better now is that his oldest child has started to catch up to dad\u2019s speed, turning backyard fun into friendly competition, something the Team Penske driver clearly relishes.<\/p>\n

His property, though, isn\u2019t just about horsepower. Logano also tends to a small brood of chickens. Speaking with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio last year, he joked about the family\u2019s endless supply of eggs, saying they can\u2019t keep up with how fast they\u2019re laid. The Loganos even took Easter egg dyeing to another level, using fresh eggs from their own backyard coop, a small but satisfying source of pride.<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s considering expanding his mini-farm with goats, turkeys, pigs, or even cows, the latter proved impractical. \u2018Cows need to be milked every day,\u2019 he admitted<\/a>, and with his schedule, that\u2019s not possible.<\/p>\n

Apart from racing in his backyard and taking care of his own farm, Logano will also be seen racing this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway as he continues the bid for his fourth title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With limited on-track practice time in NASCAR these days, most drivers lean heavily on simulators to practice and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[655,425,99,9991],"class_list":["post-226430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-joey-logano","tag-nascar","tag-sports","tag-team-penske"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
