JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – “Who won the Daytona 500? (Laughter).” HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WIN THE DAYTONA 500? “About as cool as I thought it would feel. I think as a kid any young racer dreams of winning the Daytona 500. It’s the biggest race we have all year and you’re down here for two weeks and there’s just so much build-up coming up to this race and with the qualifying and the Duels you get out there, it’s the first time you’re racing in a couple months, so there’s a lot of anxiety and a lot of nerves before the race. To be able to pull that car into Victory Lane and see my team there and see my family and my friends. Everyone was here, so it couldn’t be any better. It’s an amazing feeling. I can’t really put it into words. It’s something you can’t describe. I keep re-living over and over again what it was like down the back straightaway when I came off of turn two and I was looking in the mirror. I saw them crashing and I’m like, ‘OK, keep my foot in it here,’ and you hope there’s a caution but I think even not they weren’t close enough to really be able to make a run. You have a split-second after the caution came out and you think about it and you’re like, ‘Did we win?’ And then it’s straight chaos after that. It’s an amazing feeling. I’m fortunate to get to race for Roger and Shell and Pennzoil and Todd Gordon over here. He’s a fricking man. I’m just the lucky guy that drives this thing.”
TODD GORDON, Crew Chief – “We looked at it. I thought as you looked at the week coming into this it was really cold, the Unlimited was pretty cold, the Duels were pretty cold, so a lot of track grip and the pack stayed tight together. We really talked a lot about how we wanted our race car to be come race time and I think we made the right calls. We had enough stability in the car and we could maintain our position up front and Joey did a phenomenal job of finding the right lines and I think Tab Boyd did a great job helping him from the spotter’s stand to get ourselves out front. I’d say the biggest thing that helped us today beyond just having speed and being up there, we worked really well with the 15 car. I think those guys did an awesome job helping us today.”
