Joey Logano’s Daytona momentum continues, earns pole at Atlanta

Logano pole atl 2015

Joey Logano appears ready to pick up where he left off after winning last Sunday’s Daytona 500.

Logano earned his ninth career pole Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

“Wow, what a great car, to win the Daytona 500 and come back and put it on the pole here at Atlanta,” Logano said. “The first time I came here, I qualified 42nd. I’ve always remembered that. To be able to be on both ends of it now is pretty special.

“I really want to win here. I lived here for six years. I used to race on the quarter-mile (track) out here in my Legends car for years. It’s really cool to be starting first and hopefully we can finish there.”

Thirteen drivers, including Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart, were unable to take qualifying runs because their cars couldn’t get through NASCAR inspection in time.
