Joy Logano says that Connor Zilisk was better at that age

It’s easy to forget Joy logano Since 2009, the NASCAR Cup has been full -time in the series. The 35 -year -old is the youngest cup winner in the history of sports (19 years, 1 month and 4 days), and since then the victory has gone to the three NASCAR Cup series championships (2018, 2022, 2024).

Logano was one of the talents that everyone saw long ago that he was built at the top level of the game. Sometimes referred to as ‘chopped bread’, Logano won his Arka debut in Rockingam at just 17 years old. After the age of 18, he made his debut in the Xfinity series, reaching Victory Lane at the beginning of her third career. After less than a year, he was the winner in the cup series.

There are many people who say that Coner Zilisk says that there is a top probability coming through the lower divisions of NASCAR, and for good reasons. By the time he became a full -time NASCAR driver, he had already won the class in 12 hours in Rolex 24, and enjoyed success in the MX -5 Cup behind the wheel of Trans -M cars and Mazda MX -5 Cup.

He will become a full -time cup driver in 2026, driving for trackhouse racing, And there are a lot of expectations for young racer, some are already compared to it Jeff gordon,

A better racer at 19, and more mature

Logano is one of those who believe that the zilisk is something special, praising Kishore Finome during the playoff media day on Wednesday.

“I think he (zilcy) was better at that age, and he seems more mature at that age,” Logano said. I would say that the biggest thing is that cool-ed drinking is easy at the age of 18 or 19 years. Yes, he is a great driver. It doesn’t have any message. He can win a lot of Xfinity race. Cup racing is different. Everyone is great at this level. Everyone is fantastic, so you can’t drink your own cool-ed, where you think you are the next thing and then you are going to reach here and falling on your face.

“I was living it. I have gone there. As good as he is and he will be, I also think you have to be humble and just remember what is important.”

And nothing happened at the cup level in its early years about all the publicity around Logano. Despite quickly reaching the victory lane in the rain-shorted race in New Hampshire, he was still struggling to be compatible with racing at the top level of the game. Finally, Joe Gibbs Racing Loose her, but Team pension Gave another chance to remind the game as to what he was really able to do … and he did not disappoint.

For the zilisk, he is closed in a multiaier deal with a trackhouse and seems to be ready and ready to help the team owner Justin Marx rich as a cup driver.

Logano now has a 37 career victory, and since 2011 he did not have a winning year. It remains to be seen how quickly the zilisk can achieve success in the cup, or if he will struggle to customize like a ‘best thing’ since once chopped bread.
