I can’t go drive a truck without bringing money” – Joey logano threaten to Leave..
Reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano has shed light on the bizarre economics of stock-car racing. Logano made a shocking revelation that he, a two-time Cup Series champion, had to pay a significant amount for an entry in the Truck Series race.
Logano highlighted NASCAR’s ‘broken system’ in a recent episode of ‘Kenny Conversation’, hosted by former driver Kenny Wallace. The two discussed how the landscape of the sport has changed over the years, as it now revolves around money.

Speaking about his most recent Truck Series start with ThorSport Racing, Logano said:
“I mean, even today, Kenny, I can’t go and drive a truck without bringing money to the table. I went through that truck at Bristol this year. I had to bring a significant amount of money to go drive it. You would think you win a couple Cup championships, that you can go drive whatever you want, whenever.”
Wallace was left baffled as the Team Penske driver continued:
“It was like, ‘They would want me in the car because I help them, you know, build their program. I have experience, I can, you know, help us’. Nope, nope. I gotta bring money to go race still.”

Joey Logano made his first Cup Series start in 2008 with backing from Joe Gibbs Racing. Since then, the #22 driver has seen NASCAR teams evolve into their current form, where young drivers are expected to bring in money to the team.Logano admitted that except for the extraordinary talents, it has become very difficult to get into the junior racing categories without financial backing.
“I hate to say, it’s a broken system. I hate to say it, but it is so challenging to make it [into the sport] because you gotta have cash. You better be ridiculously good today to get the opportunity I had.”
The two-time champion’s comments resonate with Kyle Busch talking about NASCAR turning into a ‘money game’.
