Quotes

"I am high on Joey Logano because I am absolutely, 100 percent positive, without a doubt that he can be one of the greatest that ever raced in NASCAR...I'm positive. There's no doubt in my mind." — Mark Martin

"I'm definitely anxious to get the season started, and yeah, a little nervous at the same time. Everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing has been helping me get ready and I really think Zippi [crew chief Greg Zipadelli] and I will work great together. Getting in No. 20 Home Depot car is a big honor and I've obviously get some big shoes to fill after Tony left, but I think we're heading in the right direction. I'm definitely looking forward to getting in the car at Daytona." — Joey Logano
