Joey Logano 2015 Review

By Richard Tix
Season Grade: A
Season Preview: "It's hard to imagine another season like 2014, it always seems that way with NASCAR because its hard to stay that good that long. Yet, I do think he and Penske will have another good season. I think from now on he will be a title contender year after year, but I am not sure he will win it just yet. I think either he or BK will once again make the Finale in Homestead. Another 4 wins, 11-13 top 5's, and 19-22 top 10's are what I expect from JoLo this year."
Season Review: Remember when I said 2014 was his breakout year (if you don't just take a look back at the 2015 JoLo preview linked above)? Well, what does that make his 2015 season? He finished with one more win (6), eight more top 5's (22), and 6 more top 10's (28), while also putting up 5 more poles (6) then his "breakout" 2014 season.
He won races, he finishes consistently in the top 5, he pissed off Kenseth, he made a ton of fans Kenseth fans, and he had the best season of career. He did just about everything in 2015, except win the Championship. Most of that can go back to the Kenesth issue and how you feel about that, but it is a fact that whatever happened kept him from the Finale.
It was another huge year for a young driver becoming a star. When thinking about this season it is important to remember almost all of the great Champions were hated at one point (Earnhardt, Waltrip, Gordon, Johnson, etc). Joey still has it in him to become a Champion, but 2015 was a road bump in his way to that possibility.
