Joe Gibbs Driven Driver Logano
Featured in Sports Illustrated

HUNTERSVILLE, NC (July 2, 2007) -
Joey Logano, driver of the Joe Gibbs Driven Chevrolet and 17-year-old development driver for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), is touted as one of “13 Young Stars” in the July 2 issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.

Logano is driver of the No. 20 Chevrolet Monte Carlo campaigned by JGR in NASCAR’s Busch East touring series. He scored three race wins in his first four outings this season, including a thrilling battle with NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series regular Kevin Harvick in a Busch East-West combo series event at Iowa Speedway in May. Harvick and Logano swapped the lead 15 times before the youngster pulled away for a 2.5-second victory.

“We were hoping we had one of the best-kept secrets in the racing world in Logano, who is a tremendous addition to our stable of young development drivers,” said J.D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing. “Well, it’s safe to say the secret’s out. To be recognized by Sports Illustrated as a 17-year-old development driver, that’s about the best exposure any present or future star could possibly hope for. Only a select few race car drivers can ever say they made it into Sports Illustrated in their entire careers. Hats off to Logano. He’s already excelled on the track for us and we all know his best years are ahead of him.”

Not only is Logano a star in the making, his sponsor, Joe Gibbs Driven, is coming into its own as well. Joe Gibbs Driven includes a line of JGR-owned high-performance racing oils and lubricants – products developed by JGR’s three-time Nextel Cup championship-winning engine builder Mark Cronquist and used by JGR’s Nextel Cup and NASCAR Busch Series teams. Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil is sold nationwide to racers at every motorsports level.

“We’re strong believers in the ability of Logano and in the quality of Joe Gibbs Driven p rod ucts,” Gibbs said. “Joey is young and has proven himself in a very short period of time. But with Joe Gibbs Driven, we’ve spent many years investing our resources into making Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil the best engine lubricant on the market. After not being able to find an oil that met the standards our engines required, we went to work in creating a p rod uct that exceeded our own high standards. In the two years since Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil hit the marketplace, we’ve seen tremendous growth and have built a nationwide distribution system.”
