JOEY LOGANO \u2013 No. 22 Shell\/Pennzoil Ford Fusion \u2013 \u201cWho won the Daytona 500? (Laughter).\u201d HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WIN THE DAYTONA 500? \u201cAbout as cool as I thought it would feel. I think as a kid any young racer dreams of winning the Daytona 500. It\u2019s the biggest race we have all year and you\u2019re down here for two weeks and there\u2019s just so much build-up coming up to this race and with the qualifying and the Duels you get out there, it\u2019s the first time you\u2019re racing in a couple months, so there\u2019s 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\u2019t be any better. It\u2019s an amazing feeling. I can\u2019t really put it into words. It\u2019s something you can\u2019t 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\u2019m like, \u2018OK, keep my foot in it here,\u2019 and you hope there\u2019s a caution but I think even not they weren\u2019t 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\u2019re like, \u2018Did we win?\u2019 And then it\u2019s straight chaos after that. It\u2019s an amazing feeling. I\u2019m fortunate to get to race for Roger and Shell and Pennzoil and Todd Gordon over here. He\u2019s a fricking man. I\u2019m just the lucky guy that drives this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

TODD GORDON, Crew Chief \u2013 \u201cWe 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\u2019s stand to get ourselves out front. I\u2019d 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
