Joey Logano Wins Third NASCAR Cup Championship!

Posted on November 12, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

On behalf of everyone at Factory Five Racing, a HUGE congrats to THREE-TIME NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Joey Logano!

Team Penske’s Logano beat his teammate Ryan Blaney, as well as William Byron, and Tyler Reddick for the Championship. Logano won the first stage this morning and led 107 laps to win the Cup Series 2024 Title, making him a three-time champion.

We’ve worked with and gotten to know Joey over the last seven years, building four different Factory Five projects/cars with him in that time! He drove my 580hp Gen3 Daytona Coupe on the season finale of Fast and Loud back in 2018 and his 850hp Factory Five ’35 Hot Rod Drift Truck is one of his favorites cars!

Beyond the press and public image, Joey is a great guy! He is fun to work with, super smart, down to earth, always friendly, helpful, and modest. Obviously he is a great driver, but more importantly, he is a good man, a dedicated family man, and someone I feel very fortunate to call a friend. The best compliment I can give him is that he reminds me of a young Dan Gurney, who remains my all-time racing hero.

Way to go Champ and congrats from everyone at Factory Five!

That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
