​”Hate How Our Sport Goes in Cycles” – Joey Logano Goes Against Kyle Larson’s NASCAR Frustrations Amid Heated Points Debate

Team Penske driver Joey Logano has rejected calls to eliminate stage points in NASCAR, defending the system against recent criticisms raised by Kyle Larson. Speaking to Jeff Gluck, Logano explained that stage points were originally introduced to reward drivers who perform well throughout an event, ensuring they come away with points even if late incidents ruin their final finishing position.

While Larson argued that stage points act like participation awards that disproportionately influence the standings, fellow drivers Logano and Carson Hocevar expressed opposition to frequent format changes. Hocevar emphasized that constantly tweaking the rules creates confusion for both drivers and fans, urging the sport to maintain consistency.
