Joey Logano, NASCAR's master of burnouts

If you’re into motorsports and racing, chances are you’ve at least attempted to do a burnout before. It’s hard, right?

Joey Logano makes it look easy.

The above video came from the moments after the Team Penske driver locked up his first career Sprint All-Star Race win — along with a cool, $1 million prize.

It’s unquestionably the most unique one we’ve seen thus far in 2016 — certainly the longest, both in time and distance — and it’s starting to sink in that Logano is quickly earning himself the title of NASCAR’s master of burnouts.

“I’m just kind of a fan of (burnouts),” Logano told NASCAR.com on Wednesday afternoon. “I like watching other people and I just think it’s fun, you know? It’s a cool thing to do. Everyone has their own celebration and lately I’ve been doing these really fast donuts down the front stretch, that’s kind of been my thing here lately. … They carry some distance, that’s for sure.

“Everyone kind of has their own way to do different things and you think of some drivers like Kyle Larson, he took the steering wheel out one time while he was doing it. Everyone has their own thing and their own technique to how they do it so it’s kind of funny.”

The art of the burnout is one that drivers take seriously.

Riding the wave of adrenaline from taking the checkered flag, especially after a beat-and-bang-type finish to hold off Kyle Larson like we saw in last Saturday’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway that trickled into the wee hours of Sunday morning, the situation is kind of a pressure-filled one, given that a driver suddenly finds him or herself thrust into the spotlight to put on one final performance for the fans.

Luckily for Logano, he’s had 14 times to perfect the craft at the Sprint Cup Series level (11 of which have come in the 2014-2015 seasons alone).

“Most of the practicing is pretty much after you win. I do screw around a lot and do burnouts (on my own), but a lot of times when you can do burnouts with someone else’s car, it makes it a lot more fun and a lot less expensive for me,” Logano joked. “Especially after a race and you’ve already got the good out of the car. It doesn’t really matter anymore, so it makes it a lot of fun to be able to burn them up.”

With the exception of last Saturday’s exhibition win, Logano hasn’t had much of an opportunity to get in his burnout reps thus far in 2016, still looking for wins at both the Cup and NASCAR XFINITY Series levels.

Chalk him up as a favorite in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 (6 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN, SIRIUS XM NASCAR Radio) at Charlotte Motor Speedway, however, where he’s the most recent winner and has an average finish of 9.6, the highest among active Sprint Cup drivers.

And if Logano lands in Victory Lane once again, expect him to up his game on the way there.

“I think you can always make (the burnouts) better,” he said. “It’s funny, every time I win, I’ve gotten a little bit more gutsy with it. It hasn’t gotten me in trouble yet, but I feel like I’m kind of on the edge of getting me in trouble. It’s fun. The fans like to see that and it’s something exciting for the driver to do as well. I’ve always enjoyed doing stuff like that.”

And for his next “big” trick — a burnout all the way around the .533-mile Bristol Motor Speedway later this season, perhaps?

“Yes, it is possible. It’s something that’d be very hard to do, though,” said Logano, who celebrated a birthday on Tuesday. “I actually tried to do that at Bristol but I blew the rear tires out around the corner before I actually made it around. Once the tires are blown out, it’s kind of the end. There’s a fine line of how much tire you wear out, so it’s kind of hard to do that.”

While it sounds like the 26-year-old still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, don’t expect any acrobatics, a la Carl Edwards.

“I’m not doing any backflips,” said Logano. “No backflips for me.”

“I would just rather burn the tires off it.”
