Joey Logano’s Little-Known Secret was exposed and caused chaos in….
A friendship that originated during Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Summer Shootout Series has developed into a NASCAR Cup Series driver-spotter duo that’s become a formidable foe in superspeedway-style racing.
Since third-generation racer Coleman Pressley began spotting for long-time friend Joey Logano during the 2021 playoffs, the two have collected a NASCAR Cup championship, five victories, 16 top-five and 28 top-10 finishes. However, when it comes to superspeedway-style racing this year—Daytona and Atlanta—Logano hasn’t finished outside the top two. He placed second in the season opening Daytona 500 that ended a half lap shy of the checkered flag due to a caution.

A month later, he defeated former Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski at Atlanta Motor Speedway. After that race Logano said Pressley did an “amazing job of painting the picture” for him regarding the bottom lane in the race’s closing laps.
He’s so good at what he does, it’s ridiculous,” Logano said about Pressley. “It’s so much fun to listen to him and talk to him before the race, the homework that he does, how well he understands the sport.”
Each week the duo’s race preparation begins on Monday with a debrief. That includes talking with the team’s engineers, evaluating their previous weekend performance and plans to fix any problems that occurred. Tuesday is their individual time when they gather their ideas, thoughts, and notes for the next race. On Wednesday, they develop their race strategy. Logano said that planning allows them to understand what each one is thinking before a race begins.
“He’s so good at what he does, it’s ridiculous.”
“I think that’s what’s made us a real threat on the race track is that he knows me,” Logano said. “He knows exactly what I’m thinking. He can guide me into the right scenario. Even if he knows I’m thinking in a certain direction, if he sees it’s wrong, before I even make the move, he knows to tell me not to do it. That’s a really valuable thing to have.”

When it comes to understanding the draft, Logano believes he and Pressley, and Keselowski and his veteran spotter T.J. Majors are the two groups that “are the best.” Logano describes Pressley’s racing knowledge as “second to none” among the spotters.
“He really just truly understands speedway racing for one, but racing in general,” Logano said.
Pressley noted the two men trust each other and that’s instrumental in their success.
“We know what each other’s thinking in the moment,” Pressley said. “We understand each other’s pitch and voice … and hopefully, that gives us an edge when it comes time to crunch. We prepare together and more than anything, we don’t make the same mistakes twice
