Joey Logano weighs in on track limit debate: ‘We have monster trucks compared to an F1 car’

The big topic of discussion in NASCAR after COTA, what do you do to fix track limits? Joey Logano has now weighed in on the topic. The two-time Cup Series champion is firmly on the side of enforcing track limits, but not necessarily with penalties.

For many drivers, the solution to track limits at COTA and other road courses is simple – put in a curb or “turtle” as it is often called. These additions would dissuade drivers from cutting the limits because they will do more damage to their car than they will gain from cutting.

Many felt that the enforcement of track limits wasn’t consistent and led to confusion and frustration more than cleaning up the racing. Joey Logano believes adding turtles or curbs in these areas would fix the situation right up.

“Any time you’re asking the sanctioning body of any sport to make a call, it stinks, right?”

Logano continued with a comparison between NASCAR and F1.

“To me, add some curbs, add some curbs that are on the outside that are big enough that we will not go to the outside of it,” Logano said on his weekly SiriusXM appearance. “We kind of lived part of that story a little bit from 3, 4, 5, 6 those areas where they were calling the penalties. And then we have to add some kind of bigger curb through 8 and 9 there where we go through the dirt. We got to add something that really keeps us from going over there.

“It’s easy to say, ‘Well F1 doesn’t need it and F1 doesn’t do it.’ Well, they can’t even touch the curbs. Their cars are so different than ours, our cars are trucks. We have monster trucks compared to an F1 car, we can ramp these things.”
