Joey Logano remains optimistic that he and his team will soon turn things around. The 2024 season has been tough for the two-time NASCAR Cup champion as he has yet to secure a top-five finish and has finished in 20th place in four out of six races. However, Logano is not one to give up easily and, in a recent interview, he expressed confidence that the No. 22 Mustang team will soon see improvements and is not panicking despite concerns.
Logano and his team believe they can gradually regain their position at the front of the pack. With 20 races remaining in the regular season and the experience of the Penske team, it is expected that the Connecticut native will make a comeback. However, if he fails to do so, it could mean the end of the season for him.
One of the challenges faced by Logano and the other Ford drivers is the introduction of the new Ford Mustang Dark Horse for the 2024 season. This required the team to make numerous changes to other components, and Logano admits they still do not fully understand the new car.
Despite these challenges, it is important for a team like Penske, which has won the last two Cup titles, to identify the root causes of their poor performance and make improvements if they want to maintain their championship streak in the Next-Gen era.
