Joey Logano 2016 Preview

By Richard Tix
Everything but Martinsville went Joey Logano's way in 2016. He lead NASCAR with 6 wins and 28 top 10's (tied with Harvick), while coming up with the second most top 5's (22 to Harvicks 23) and he kicked off the season with his first career Daytona 500 win. He was a Championship favorite and went on to win Charlotte, Kansas, and Taladega during the Chase in back to back to back races.
Then came the race that shaped his season whether he likes it or not, Martinsville.
After Martinsville it was and uphill battle to get a win before the final round moved to Miami. JoLo came up short and the season for he and Matt Kenseth will forever be remembered for Kansas and Martinsville.
But, on the positive note Joey announced he was here to stay after a break out season in 2014. He finally has got to the level where Mark Martin could see him getting to when he called him "sliced bread." So, will he finally be Champion in 2016?
Bold Predictions/2016 Season Expectations:
- I have Joey Logano back in the Final Four in 2016, much like 2014. Last year I was between BK and him making the final, and the one I picked would be the Champion. I went BK, but I would have been wrong either way. That's how crazy the new Chase is. I am not sure 2016 will be as successful as 2015 was according to the basic stats, but JoLo will have another nice season. I see 3-5 wins, 17-18 top 5's, and 20-22 Top 10's which are all down from 2015, but he could end up farther in the Chase.
