Joey Logano is from Connecticut and a New England Patriots fan. David Ragan is from Georgia and is an Atlanta Falcons fan. Add that with the fact that both teams are squaring off in Sunday’s Super Bowl LI in Houston, Texas on FOX and the two Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers agreed to a good-natured bet that will benefit charity.
With the Patriots winning, Ragan will donate $2,200 to The Joey Logano Foundation. If the Falcons had won, Logano would have donated $2,200 to Shriners Hospital for Children.
Founded in 2013, The Joey Logano Foundation partners with other organizations to provide comfort and relief to those in need after such unforeseen circumstances. Shriners Hospital for Children has been Ragan's official charity of choice since 2008. Shriners Hospital for Children served as the primary sponsor for Ragan in one race in 2016 and he rode on the Shriners Hospital float in last year's 127th Rose Parade.
How did this bet come to fruition and how exactly was the total agreed on? Here is a look at the anatomy of that bet.
On Sunday, Logano tweeted a photo of the two drivers getting ready to attend the big game.
Logan and Ragan aren’t the only ones in the NASCAR world with a friendly wager on the big game. Atlanta Motor Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway have a bet as well. The details of which you can read here.
