2017 Fantasy Recap - Logano had a very strong season going in 2017 up until the Richmond's race. After having his win disqualified and not be eligible for the playoffs. After that race, he just was not the same driver. Weather it was the team fear of not pushing it or their fear Nascar would treat them differently, they really fell off track. It wasn't 100% their fault, as sometimes they just had bad luck. But overall, it wasn't a good season for Joey Logano. He had 10 Top 5 finishes and 17 Top 10 finishes which is considered his worst season since joining Penske. It was his worst season in average finish, average start, top 5 finishes, top 10 finishes since 2013 season. The 2013 season was his first season with the No.22 team. Just looking at the numbers, you cannot tell how bad of a season it was. But if you watched the races every week, then you saw how far behind that 22 car was compared to other years. They were obviously missing something from the previous years.
Strong Tracks - Michigan, Texas, Indy, Richmond and Homestead
Weak Tracks - Pocono and Kansas
2018 Fantasy Outlook - It is impossible to think that Joey Logano won't have a better season in 2018. I am sitting here and I cannot come up with any reason that Logano won't bounce back in 2018. He is coming off his worst season since joining Penske and Nascar is a unique sport. There's only so long you can stay down, before you eventually find a way to crawl back to the top. And if you pair Logano talent and the equipment, then you get some special potential! I wouldn't say that I am picking him to win the championship, but I would expect his numbers a lot closer to what we saw in 2016 or those couple years beforehand. I will save all of the gravy for the preview next month, but you can expect some good things in 2018!
