The Home Depot Team Notes of Interest

The race was filled with many obstacles for The Home Depot team including an early spin, damage from a multi-car incident and the loss of power steering. The team soldiered on to earn the 28th spot and remain 20th in the point standings.
· The Home Depot Team is taking chassis #258 to the track this weekend in Fontana, Calif. This will be the maiden trip for this chassis in Sprint Cup competition.
· Logano maintains his lead over Scott Speed in the Raybestos Rookie standings by 23 points (218-195) following Kansas. Logano was leading Speed last weekend before his Home Depot Toyota ran out of fuel after taking the white flag and finished one spot behind his fellow rookie. Last year’s top rookie finished18th in the fall event at Auto Club Speedway.
Logano on California:
“I’m actually really looking forward to getting back to California. It was only the second race of the season so I was still trying to figure these cars out. We started out pretty bad but got much better at the end. Michigan was the same way for me the first race. The beginning of the race was tough and got better as the race when on. When I went back to Michigan again I qualified in the top 10 and we ran solidly in the top 10 most of the day to finish seventh. Hopefully I will have similar results my second time at California.”
