Joey Logano warns NASCAR against adding stages to end fuel saving at Superspeedways

Joey Logano is not in favor of this as he deemed the fuel mileage game to be more interesting than going full throttle. He then gave a possible solution to this problem by suggesting mandating a double-stop strategy in each stage but recommended to not change it up much more as the mileage game is more interesting and forces them to think strategically.

The fuel mileage game — I don’t know how that goes away. The only way to me that it goes away, is if you put a mandatory two-tire stop within the stage because you’re then not waiting on fuel anymore. That’s the only thing I can come up with without adding stages and I’ve heard all this other stuff people have talked about. I don’t think we should add stages. But going wide open is not more interesting to me. I think the fuel mileage game is more interesting than when they were wide open. My opinion. Joey Logano said in an interview with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio

Joey Logano revealed why drivers did not attempt to pass at Talladega

The race at Talladega ramped up quite a bit in the final moments. However, it was not able to hide the fact that the race saw an alarmingly low number of overtakes during the weekend. This then led to questions being asked around in the garages about why the drivers not initiated to overtake their rivals, and the former champion had the answer for it.

The Penske driver revealed that as soon as anybody tried to overtake another car, they were hit by a wall of air. This slowed their momentum down and discouraged them from indulging in one. Moreover, the fuel issues had motivated drivers to stay behind in the draft of the leaders and to pounce on them in the final stages as seen in the last few laps of the race.

We can't pass cars. So everyone's scared to pull out of the line because it's just like hitting a wall. It's like hitting a brick wall. It just stops. All your momentum stops. That's the issue. Joey Logano said.

Despite Logano’s claims to not worry about the mileage issue, NASCAR has stated that they will look into this. However, a resolution would take a few months to a year so the current scenes of drivers slowing down on straights may become the unfortunate reality going forward.
