Mooresville, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Joey Logano has already advanced to the next round of the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs and on Thursday signed a contract extension to remain with Team Penske.
Terms of the multi-year agreement for the Chase for the Sprint Cup contender were not disclosed.
"Joey Logano has been everything we hoped he would be, both as a driver and as a representative of our organization and for our partners," said owner Roger Penske in a statement Thursday. "He continues to put points on the board for us and the continuity and chemistry he has developed within the team has been terrific. We believe he can be a leader and championship-level driver for Team Penske for years to come."
Logano has seven career NASCAR Sprint Cup race victories, including five since joining Team Penske for the start of the 2013 season. He has four wins this year and sits second in the Chase for the Sprint Cup standings after last week's win at the Sylvania 300 in New Hampshire.
"I am fortunate and excited to be a part of Team Penske for the foreseeable future," said Logano. "Mr. Penske gives us everything we need to keep our eye on the prize and compete for wins and championships. I think that is clear by the number of wins we have across the board this year. I think our best years are in front of us for sure."
The 24-year-old Logano was the 2009 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year and finished a career-best eighth in last year's Chase standings.
