After Joey Logano's great success and his inscription in NASCAR history, many people asked what the next step in his career could be. The 34-year-old fulfilled his goal before the season's start, but will his hunger for success and winning titles continue? Some have gone so far as to believe Logano could end his career after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Championship three times.
Joey Logano decided to talk to the Happy Hour Podcast in a condescending tone about his retirement and the rumors that put a smile on his face. Logano is aware that there will come a period in his career when he simply has to say goodbye to this sport. This is one of the reasons why this 34-year-old puts an accent on family, considering it the foundation of everything. Judging by everything Logano says, it is the family that also gives him the greatest motivation to do the feats he did.
Looking at what he did, we can only say: Hats off, master!
“Retirement’s a real thing, right?” Logano said, as quoted by On3.
“An afterlife of the sport is something that will hit me at some point. That’s why I think ther’s a few things to this. That’s why I think your family is so important because when we’re done with this sport, within three years you’re forgotten about, maybe even quicker. I think."
Judging by what we had the opportunity to see, it is quite evident that he is an emotional person. The outpouring of emotion continued even after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Championship. From the first day of his career, the 34-year-old put his family on the throne, the biggest support in his career. Without the support of such people who put a smile on his face and love for life, Logano would hardly have reached such heights.
Joey accepts fate and the fact that in the future he and his colleagues will disappear from the NASCAR scene, and new young faces will appear, who will aim to break his records. He accepts such things, aware that this is a natural process in life. This is one of the reasons why his primary focus is not NASCAR.
Logano observes things in such a way that in the moments when he finishes the NASCAR scene if he only focuses on it, he will feel very lonely. This is the reason why the popular NASCAR driver does not want to have such a mindset. Logano stresses that this is the fate of many before him.
The Penske driver is a completely different person from many of his colleagues, as he looks forward to the small things in life, and most of all to his family. The smile on his face is mainly because of them, so it is not surprising where such successes come from for this driver, who in addition to talent also has strong support.
Joey Logano talks about his future
Logano is someone who always wants to prove himself in different fields, striving to become a person with multiple hobbies. Focusing on NASCAR and ignoring other things that make this life beautiful is not what he would like. The 34-year-old wants to show that in addition to being a great NACAR driver, he is equally amazing in other parts of his life.
"I like trying to prove to myself that I’m not just a one-trick pony, I feel like I hit the cheat code in life being a professional athlete,” Logano said.
“Like, you know, I didn’t make it in business, I’m a race car driver, I drive in freaking circles all day long."
The new NASCAR Cup Series Championship champion admitted that he wants to show the world that he is not strictly tied to a certain area. Being limited in life is the last thing Joey wants. Thinking about the future, and the plans he has, Logano is not sure what his next step could be after the end of his career.
There are many things on his mind right now, analyzing what he could do, this great driver mentioned that he could be part of NASCAR race teams even after his career ends. One of the possibilities is also to be a TV personality. What equally surprised the fans is that Logano sees himself even completely outside of this sport.
No matter what this amazing driver decides, a huge fan base is behind him, who wants Logano to do magical things in the future. Looking at his record so far, Logano is well on his way to breaking many more records. Whether he will succeed in that remains to be seen.
