Two-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Joey Logano makes his 400th Team Penske NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) start Sunday at Phoenix Raceway, becoming one of three drivers in the organization’s history to reach the milestone.

Since joining Team Penske prior to the start of the 2013 season – Logano’s fifth full-time NCS season - he has produced two championships, 30 race wins and 24 pole awards across 11-plus seasons while recording at least one win each year.
