2016 Fantasy Recap - Another season with the #22 team, another year that Logano looked like an top 5 driver. Week-in and week out, he looked awesome in 2016. Since middle of 2013, Logano has been one of the most consistent drivers in the series. There has only been a few races where he hasn't contended for at least an top 10 finish. More often than not, he showed flashes of top 5 upside. Over the past 3 seasons (since start of 2014), he has posted 3+ wins, 16+ Top 5 finishes and 22+ Top 10 finishes with at least 11.3 average finish in all three seasons. He has no doubt been one of the best drivers, not many can be consistent year-in and year-out like that. In 2016, he struggled to show that upside we love so much. However, he was still a consistent top 10 threat like he did. Even though, we saw the wins total and average finish drop. He was still able to keep a stable number of top 5 and top 10 finishes. He still decline across the board, but that was expected. He had a such a great year in 2015, it was pretty much a given his numbers would drop. All-in-all, it was another year great year for Joey Logano. 3 wins, 16 Top 5 finishes and 26 Top 10 finishes is extremely good for anyone at the Cup level.
Strong Tracks - Charlotte, Kansas, Michigan, Watkins Glenn and Texas

2017 Fantasy Outlook - The last three seasons, I had picked Joey Logano to win the championship. Each time he looked primed to take the championship, but failed to grab the gold. Joey, you making me look bad! But just think about it though, he haven't won a championship despite all of the success he had since joining Penske. Personally, I think it only matter of time before he breaks through. Question is when though. In 2017, I have high standards for him once again. I think he can repeat last season's numbers and beyond. Over the past 3 seasons, he has at least 3 wins, 16 Top 5 finishes and 22 Top 10 finishes. I am expecting him to repeat those kind of numbers once again. Also I think the 2017 package will be favorable to him which should only help him even further. His best tracks will likely be the intermediate tracks. Specially places like Charlotte, Texas, Michigan and Kansas. Those 4 tracks has stood for him over the past couple of seasons. Logano also will perform well at the shorter flats (New Hampshire, Richmond and Phoenix), as he has been one of the best in the series recently. Same goes for Bristol and Martinsville, his numbers are misleading. He been better than what his numbers suggest. I will go deeper into in his preview next month though. Road courses should also be an strength for him as well. He so underrated at the road courses since he has joined Penske. Potentially weak places for him? Pocono and plate tracks stood out to me. He been good at these venues, but not sure if he on the next level. I think he has some boom or bust to him on the plates. He has won at both Daytona and Talladega, but he also mid of the pack finishes as well. Overall, there aren't a lot of tracks where he can be considered weak at. Logano is the full-package. Strong just about everywhere we go. I expect another impressive year from Logano!
