This weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Joey Logano (No. 20 GameStop Toyota) looks to accomplish a feat that has happened only eight other times — three consecutive victories.
After wins at Kansas Speedway and Auto Club Speedway, Logano could join some of the series greats this weekend, a list that includes Sam Ard, Mark Martin, Harry Gant and his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Kyle Busch.
Though the exclusive list is tough to crack, the statistics suggest that there’s certainly a chance. Logano has been strong at LMS in his young NASCAR national series career.
In two races at the 1.5-mile track, Logano has an average finish of 9.5, a Driver Rating of 106.8, an Average Running Position of 8.0, a Laps in the Top 15 percentage of 75.4%, 13 Fastest Laps Run and 32 Laps Led.
Logano’s best run at LMS came earlier this season, in the rain-shortened May event. He finished fifth that race, posting a Driver Rating of 112.1 and an Average Running Position of 5.2.
Near the top of a stout list of favorites to keep Logano from Victory Lane is Mike Bliss (No. 11 Ridemakerz Toyota), winner of this season’s May race. Bliss has two career NASCAR Nationwide victories, both coming at LMS.
Bliss will need a near-identical run to the May event if he wants to register a third win in Charlotte. In the May race, Bliss posted a Driver Rating of 78.4, an Average Running Position 8.3, 19 Fastest Laps Run and a Laps in the Top 15 percentage of 87.6. Auto Racing Daily
