Joey Logano has reached victory lane twice already this season. Now, he’s going for those coveted playoff points and he can gain at least five more on Sunday by virtue of a victory in the GEICO 500 (3 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN).

It’s realistic to think so too.

Logano, has six top five finishes in his last 10 tries on superspeedway’s including being very strong at Talladega. His last five Talladega finishes in fact have been fourth, first, fifth, fourth and 11th respectively. He won the spring race in 2018 and has led at least 10 laps in six of those seven races as well.

He’s even been good at Talladega in the XFINITY Series in scoring seven top three finishes in eight tries, two of which being wins and three more being runner-ups.

Also, since 2015, Logano has five wins and four runner-ups on superspeedway’s in NASCAR’s premiere series.

While that’s all good, there’s still the chance he could get taken out in someone else’s mess. That always weighs on every race car drivers’ mind heading to Daytona or Talladega.

He should have a shot though as Ford has won six straight years in the Talladega Fall race, four of which seeing a Penske driver celebrating in victory lane and two of the last four in the Spring event.
