00:00Joey, what is it about these moments that make you and Paul absolutely come to life
00:06and find a different level?
00:08I love the playoffs.
00:09I love it, man.
00:10What a race.
00:11What a team Penske battle there at the end.
00:15Had a good restart.
00:16Was able to get in front of the 12.
00:17Got a lot of long run speed there and that's all I had there to hold them off.
00:22So being three of them, it's really special to get to that.
00:28What a team.
00:30The fight through today, we threw a little bit of adversity throughout the race.
00:35I just can't thank Ford enough and Shell and Pennzoil and Humphreys Pizza, Paul Wolf.
00:42What a crew chief do I have.
00:43I got the best team.
00:44I don't know if I'm the best driver, but I got the best team.
00:48Together we're very well rounded and can show up when it matters the most.
00:52We've got a mentally tough team that can make things happen when it matters.
00:56What did you find to keep your teammate Ryan Blaney behind you because he caught you awfully
01:01quick?
01:02Coleman Presley.
01:03He was telling me where he was.
01:06He's up there telling me best lanes to run and it's a balance of putting dirty air on
01:11him and running the fastest laps for my Ford and we just got a little too tight there at
01:15the end and I couldn't really wrap the bottom as good as I wanted to, so just one, two for
01:21team Penske.
01:22Three championships in a row since this next-gen car.
01:25I couldn't be more proud of everyone at the shop that's built these things.
01:28This is our pit stalls way over there because of what happened and I'm kind of bummed out.
01:35I don't see them out here yet.
01:37As a team, Joey, you told me Tuesday we won at the right times.
01:40We kept pressure on everybody else.
01:43How much of this championship story is about maximizing the opportunities you had?
01:48The race starts, the race started in Vegas for us and the amount of work and effort that
01:54went into building this race car right here, the amount of time, I don't think anyone works
01:59harder than us.
02:00We're up at 6 in the morning this morning going over stuff, but they guys just want
02:03it bad and I'm glad we delivered.
02:06It was looking iffy there for a minute, but that race restart was really the difference
02:11maker and gosh, I'm so proud of the team.
02:15Make it ten.
02:16Joey Logano becomes the tenth driver in NASCAR history with three championships.
02:21Joey Logano is the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion.
