NASCAR rules handed Joey Logano the New Hampshire race. Don’t get me wrong. I like Joey Logano. I believe he will have a long and successful career in NASCAR. But, he was not worthy of his first win.
NASCAR’s “Lucky Dog” rule gave Joey his first win. He was the recipient of a free lap not once, but twice. Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, and others were far more deserving of getting the win. I have no quarrel with the fuel conservation strategy Joey and others used. That is part of racing. But, the gift of the “Lucky Dog” rule determined the race winner. It is such a bad rule.
Joey wasn’t even in contact with the leaders either time when he was awarded a lap back. This is called racing? This is a contrived show that NASCAR wants us to believe is a competition. It looks more and more like IROC.
For now on we must call Joey by the name “Lucky” Logano.
