As part of our neverending mission to tell you what video game is now turning left four times at 100 mph on Saturday tonight, letâs check in with Joey Logano and the No. 20 GameStop Toyota.
GameStop, which has a 21-race sponsorship deal with the NASCAR driver in the lower-run Nationwide Series, put Split/Second on Loganoâs hood for something called the Bubba Burger 250 tomorrow tonight (dangit) at Richmond International Raceway. Split/Second is actually something Logano has played.
âYou have to use real racing skills like drafting, just like you do on the track most weekends,â Logano said, âbut then you also have to think about planning a strategy to wreck the other cars and the courses so you can win.â Just like you do on the track most weekends, amirite?
Logano opened the series with a seventh place finish at Daytona (thatâs not the 500, btw), with BioShock 2 on his hood, then took the pole but finished fifth with Mario Kart Wiion the lid. Tomorrowâs race is 7:45 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2, if thatâs your thing. Whoops, this sucker ran tonight. Too late. Brad Keselowski won. Joey finished 6th. Goshdangit!
