JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion –  CAN YOU SUM UP YOUR EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW WITH THE ENGINE FAILURE TONIGHT? “I am pretty angry. That was such as fast race car we had. After the rain delay we came in and put on four tires and lost some track position but we were going to take two on the next one, kind of like the 24 did and he cycled out to the lead there. Unfortunately the motor blew up. You have these every once in awhile. It is a bummer to have it in the Chase when you are running for a championship. I feel like Chicago was one of those tracks we could win at. Everyone was doing the right thing. We have a really fast race car and we put it on the pole and led laps today, it just wasn’t our day I guess.”  

CAN YOU MAKE UP FOR THIS STILL IN THE CHASE? “The problem is it is only 10 races and that makes it hard but we aren’t out of it. We have a shot at it. This team has shown how good we are. It is always a bummer when you have a mechanical failure like that when you can’t really do much about it. Other times you can at least be mad at yourself or something you did wrong. Everyone did a good job. That is what we have to hold our heads up about. It is a tough break for this team. We are strong. We have battled through a lot of adversity this year and we will keep doing it.” 

HOW MUCH DID THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE PLAY INTO THIS? “The RPM’s are up for sure. When the temps outside go down and you are making more horsepower you are going a lot faster on the race track. I was having to lift early into one because I was up against the chip. It was a lot of RPM’s. I don’t think I will be the last one to blow up today. The things are torqued up. It was okay most of the time. We haven’t really had an engine issue that was internal in the motor this whole year. Usually we have one or two a year.”
