Thoughts on Young Drivers

Joey Logano

Joey Logano turned 18 so the Joe Gibbs Racing development driver will make his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut this weekend at Dover.

Dover is a tough race track but I have a feeling Logano will do a good job. He has some experience there in the Camping World East Series. He is driving a great car for a great organization. Plus, based on what I saw at Rockingham, he has plenty of skill to go along with his equipment.

Chad McCumbee

I still believe someone is missing out on an opportunity with driver Chad McCumbee.

He is on the brink of breaking out in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Of course there is no straightforward process you must go through to make it to Cup but I feel like Chad is talented and marketable.

He is still young and has plenty of racing experience now.

Josh Wise

Josh really opened my eyes last week at Lowes Motor Speedway. His finish does not tell the story for how well he ran in the Nationwide race.

As far as I know he has not raced in one of the top three series for a while (before the Lowes race) and he was able to put the Supercuts car up front. While racing up there he collected the wall and unfortunately was not able to finish in the top 10.

Hopefully we will see more of Josh Wise as the season moves into the long summer stretch.

Bryan Clausen

I have noticed that each week that goes by Bryan seems to learn from the mistakes he has made.

He is working with one of the best and most intense crew chiefs out there. Brad Parrott will teach him something every week.
