Joey Logano and the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion started third following a random draw on Friday afternoon. As the 75-lap exhibition race got underway, Logano found himself running solidly in the top-10 before falling to the back when the car began to run hot due to debris on the grill. Once cooled down, Logano was able to avoid a number of multi-car accidents throughout the event and raced anywhere between second and 16th. All race long, Logano found himself shuffled out of the draft to only race himself race his way back to the front. Late in the going, Logano was second before again getting shuffled to 12th. Logano was able to race his way back toward the front over the final few laps, finishing sixth.

ON HIS INCIDENT WITH KEVIN HARVICK ON PIT ROAD POST RACE “That is Kevin (Harvick) just being an instigator just like everywhere else. It is a new year and the same stuff. I was trying to help really, to be honest with you, we had a run and I was pushing. I was doing the same thing with the 78 all night and it was working. We got in the corner and he got tight and he got into the fence. I was trying to help. He just doesn’t understand I was trying to help. I understand his frustration but I was trying to help out and get to the front and try to win this thing. There are no points or anything like that so you go for the win.”

IS IT THIS RACING? WHAT WAS IT LIKE? “Yeah. It is fun out there. We have nothing to lose. We are out there trying to win a race and everyone is doing the same thing, a lot of pushing and banging and that is where the crashes come from.”
