Over the last two races, Joey Logano has been working his way down the tracks using a strategy that has been working out well for him. Logano finished fifth at Indianapolis and third at Pocono on Sunday. He said that approaching a race like Indy or Pocono would be more fitting if you have a well defined strategy.

He said "It's interesting because as a driver, one minute you're running in the top five and the next minute you're 25th and and asking 'Where am I, actually and where is this going to all come out at the end?"

"But usually there's a late caution at some point - and in each of these races there's been a late race caution that brings you back together and then you kind of know where you're at."

Loagano continued ""(Crew chief) Todd Gordon's done a good job calling the races these last two weeks that we've cycled back out for the most part in pretty good shape and been on the right cycle and we're proud of that fact. He's been studying the races and making the right calls, so that's important."

Logano said that there is a simple reason for using a strategy during the last few races. He said that track position is important and that while it is hard to pass at a road course, It would be hard to pass at Indy and Pocono if you lack of tire fall-off and aerodynamic.

He said "That's kind of been the mentality of everyone out there right now. It's so hard to pass, tires don't fall off and clean air is worth so much. So when you get up towards the top five your car handles so much better that clean air is worth more than tires. If you're up towards the top five, you're car's going to drive better then than you would in 20th place with four brand new tires on it. And that's why we race the way we've been the last few weeks. At these type of racetracks, the big racetracks, the hard tire, the newer asphalt, that's why the race comes out that way."
