Joey Logano and Will Power won the NASCAR Cup Series and the IndyCar championship during the 2022 season. Recalling one of the coolest memories of his career, Logano said,

“I always remember the moment where we both won the championship in the same year. We had a victory party for all of Team Penske. He was up there playing the drums. We were singing we are the champions together. That was one of my coolest memories. He has been a lot of fun, I learned a lot from him. I know he'll end up in a good place.” added Joey Logano
