In a thrilling development for NASCAR fans, Joey Logano is on the verge of making history by challenging one of the most iconic records in the sport — a record long held by “The King” Richard Petty. As the 2025 season intensifies, Logano finds himself within striking distance of Petty’s legendary record for most consecutive top-10 finishes at a single track, a feat that has stood for decades as a symbol of dominance and consistency in stock car racing.
Richard Petty’s record — 25 straight top-10 finishes at North Wilkesboro Speedway between 1968 and 1983 — has been viewed as untouchable. However, Logano, with 24 consecutive top-10s at Phoenix Raceway, has a golden opportunity to tie and potentially break the mark during the next Cup Series stop in Arizona. What makes this even more compelling is that Phoenix is where Logano has historically performed at his best — securing multiple wins, poles, and leading hundreds of laps there over the years.
Logano, the 2018 and 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, has built his career around calculated aggression and adaptability, making him a consistent front-runner in an ever-evolving sport. Speaking ahead of the upcoming Phoenix race, Logano said, “Records are great, but I don’t race just for the numbers — I race to win. Still, when you’re mentioned in the same breath as Richard Petty, that’s something you don’t take lightly.”
Team Penske, Logano’s long-time racing home, has been instrumental in helping him reach this milestone. Crew chief Paul Wolfe emphasized that consistency has been key: “We’ve worked really hard to find a rhythm at Phoenix. It’s not just about fast cars, it’s about smart strategy and execution every single time.”
Fans and analysts alike are eagerly watching to see if Logano can make history. NASCAR analyst Steve Letarte noted, “Breaking a Richard Petty record is no small feat. It’s a testament to not just talent, but long-term excellence. Logano is not just chasing history — he’s carving out a legacy.”
Should Logano succeed in breaking the record, it would mark another chapter in his already illustrious career, and perhaps spark conversation about his place among the greats of the sport. With the NASCAR landscape becoming increasingly competitive, maintaining such consistency is rarer than ever — making this achievement even more impressive.
As the green flag prepares to drop at Phoenix, all eyes will be on the No. 22 Ford Mustang. Joey Logano isn’t just chasing a win — he’s chasing immortality.
