Joey Logano Reflects on His Children’s Racing Aspirations

Joey Logano, the three-time NASCAR Cup champion and Team Penske driver, recently shared insights about his children’s potential interest in racing. Following his performance at Phoenix on March 10, 2024, Logano discussed the unique dynamics within his family regarding motorsports and how he views their aspirations.

Logano’s eldest son, Hudson, appears to have developed a fascination with racing, expressing admiration for his father’s career. At just seven years old, Hudson enjoys driving go-karts and four-wheelers, often spending time with Logano honing his skills on the track. The young boy’s competitive nature has already emerged, with Logano admitting that racing against Hudson can be quite a challenge. “He’s light on his feet and can be frustrating to race against,” Logano remarked, highlighting the playful rivalry between father and son.

In contrast, Logano’s other children exhibit different interests. His younger son, Jameson, prefers outdoor adventures, while his daughter, Amelia, shows little interest in the sport that has defined her father’s life. Logano emphasized that he will not pressure his children into racing, stating, “I don’t know if any of them will, to be honest with you. Maybe. I’m not gonna force them. I’m just gonna let them live their life.”

Despite the allure of NASCAR fame, Logano is acutely aware of the challenges his children may face due to their father’s celebrity status. He has previously noted that recognition often comes to them before they have established their own identities. “When people recognize them, it’s weird to me, as they haven’t done anything to earn that yet,” he explained, showcasing his commitment to raising them with humility.

Logano aims to instill important values in his children, focusing on hard work and the importance of personal achievement. “All I want them to do is try hard. That’s all that matters to me: effort. I just want to see them digging and grinding to be great,” he stated, emphasizing that success should be earned through dedication, regardless of whether they choose to follow in his racing footsteps.

As the racing world watches to see if the Logano legacy continues, the emphasis remains on personal growth and resilience. Whether or not his children follow in his path, Joey Logano’s commitment to raising responsible and grounded individuals remains unwavering.
