Joey Logano’s name is etched deep in New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s history. On June 28, 2009, a teenage Logano won the rain-soaked Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at Loudon, becoming the youngest Cup Series winner ever at 19 years, 1 month, and 4 days old. Crew chief Greg Zipadelli’s bold call to stay out as rain loomed handed Logano the lead when NASCAR red-flagged the race at lap 273 of 301.

Despite spinning earlier and falling a lap down, a “lucky dog” pass and sharp strategy outmaneuvered a field with 21 lead changes among 14 drivers, with Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch rounding out the podium. Now, in 2025, Logano’s back at his home track for the playoff-opening Mobil 1 301, chasing a pole and reflecting on how Loudon keeps weaving his past and present together.
