[autotag]Joey Logano[/autotag] didn’t have the best car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, not even one with top-5 speed; however, even-year Logano found a way. The driver of the No. 22 car was able to pull off the unthinkable at Las Vegas after crew chief Paul Wolfe called to stay out during the final green-flag run. Christopher Bell, who had the dominant car, came up just short of passing him.
Following the race victory, Logano sat down for his press conference and discussed his massive race in Las Vegas. In fact, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion even revealed a new nickname for his crew chief.
“When you put that together with Paul Wolfe, an incredible crew chief, we call him Big Ball Paul now (smiling), he really makes that happen there,” Logano said. “Engineers calculating everything. Then communication, right? To [Coleman Pressley], my spotter, back down to me as a driver, how much can I save, what’s going on around me. Obviously, we don’t want to win by too much, make sure you save enough gas to get to the end. Yeah, able to make it happen. So excited.”
It’s certainly a nickname that Wolfe has earned after two amazing calls at Las Vegas and Nashville Superspeedway. Logano wouldn’t be in the Championship 4 without Wolfe and vice versa. The driver-crew chief combination has proven to be one of the best in NASCAR, and there’s no indication that it will slow down anytime soon.
