The CNBC Prime The Profit 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (1.0 mile oval, Loudon, N.H.)

No. 22 Hertz Ford Mustang driven by Joey Logano

Saturday, July 13, 3:30pm ET

• A VERY SPECIAL SCHEME: The Hertz Corporation, one of the world’s leading car rental and transportation companies, will return to the side of the No. 22 Ford Mustang this weekend. But the look will be different. It will look remarkably like the recently announced Hertz Penske GT Mustang rental car that you can get at select Hertz locations around the country. Logano was part of an announcement last week to debut both the paint scheme and the Hertz Penske GT to the public. The special addition Mustang features several performance upgrades.
• WINNING IN THE NNS AT NHMS: New Hampshire Motor Speedway is one of the tracks that Logano has won at in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition but not in Nationwide Series competition. Logano has been close though. He started on the pole and finished second in 2009 and finished fourth in 2010. Last season, Logano was running in the top-five with less than five laps to go before being wrecked by a competitor, eventually finishing 29th.
• SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Logano will partake in a special press conference at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway Media Center on Friday morning (July 12) at 9:30am. Logano will announce the launch of a new organization and will be joined by members of the NASCAR Foundation and Shell Oil Company.
• IMPRESSIVE STATS: It’s no secret that Logano’s NASCAR Nationwide Series career has been very successful, but one of the most impressive stats may be that Logano has been running at the end of 111 of his 116 career races – only five DNFs.

HOW SPECIAL WOULD IT BE TO WIN AT NHMS?

“This really is what I consider my ‘home track’ on the scheduled. It’s the closest that we come to my hometown of Middletown, Connecticut, so being able to win here would be pretty cool. Thankfully I’ve won a Sprint Cup Series race there, but I’d love to add a Nationwide Series win. The No. 22 has been pretty good there the last couple of years, so that bodes well for sure.”

WHAT HAS BEEN THE KEY TO THE 22 TEAM’S SUCCESS THIS YEAR?

“I would say Jeremy Bullins (crew chief) and the guys on the team. They have been spot on. They worked through some issues earlier in the year and it’s been clicking as of late. It hasn’t mattered if it’s me or Brad (Keselowski) or AJ (Allmendinger) in the car, we are running really good. And Jeremy leads that group and the guys at the track make sure everything is in order. But from the shop back in Mooresville to the track, it goes back to the people who work on these Ford Mustangs.”
