Joey Logano has found speaking about how the arrival of Next Gen cars has made the sport competitive and how the impact on the Next Gen car this season has been more intense from the previous year’s cars.

Apart from Logano, several other drivers have also spoken about the impact of the Next Gen cars. Kurt Busch, who has been out of action since the qualifying crash at Pocono Raceway, has not spoken about the details of the incident. But his absence due to concussion has spoken volumes and left safety as a hot topic.

During an appearance for the NASCAR Cup Series playoff media day last week, Joey Logano spoke about the Team Penske’s measures which they took to protect their drivers with regard to safety. He stated that things are in control at Team Penske because his team does a great job from a safety standpoint and they care about their drivers.

Joey Logano said:

“There are some things we still control. I will say that Team Penske does an amazing job at the safety standpoint, the safety stuff, and they care about us. That goes from Roger to Tim to Mike and Travis, all the way down.”

He continued:

“And then what can we communicate to NASCAR as a group and say this is a weak point of the car, we need to work on this as a group. Team Penske, to me, has really been a leader in that and not been holding back safety updates because of costs. To me, I’m very grateful for that. Very grateful.”
