Live Update: Joey Logano’s Heartfelt Efforts Shine Beyond the Track
When Joey Logano isn’t securing victories on the track, the three-time Cup Series champion proves time and again why he’s a fan favorite off it. Known for his fierce driving style, Logano also has a compassionate side, as shown through his philanthropic efforts. His most recent gesture? Providing aid to victims of Hurricane Helene, further cementing his reputation as a man of the people.
Logano’s Philanthropic Legacy
Earlier this year, The Joey Logano Foundation donated $250,000 to recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, which wreaked havoc across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Logano personally traveled to western Carolina to deliver essential supplies and assist with cleanup efforts, earning widespread praise from the community.
Most recently, Logano made headlines again by partnering with Ford to gift vehicles to two hurricane victims. The recipients, Anita and Alexis, were chosen through partnerships with Children’s Hope Alliance and Least of These Carolinas. Each was presented with a Ford Escape and a Ford Bronco, valued at around $30,000 each.
Staying true to his humble nature, Logano deflected praise, emphasizing the collective effort behind his foundation’s initiatives. “Don’t thank me. It’s literally about our supporters at the foundation. It takes a lot of people—donors, volunteers, and everyone putting it together. Moments like today are what make it all worth it,” he said.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Logano expressed gratitude to those who made the project possible, saying, “Thanks to all those who help support the Joey Logano Foundation, and a special thanks to @FordPerformance, Huntersville Ford / Krause Auto Group.”
A NASCAR Community United
Logano’s contributions are part of a broader effort by the NASCAR community to support hurricane recovery. Organizations like Hendrick Motorsports, Hendrick Automotive Group, Sonic Automotive, and Speedway Motorsports also stepped up, making significant donations to assist impacted areas. More than 400 pallets of donated items were transported to North Wilkesboro Speedway for distribution to affected counties in western North Carolina.
Additionally, Team Penske, Shell USA, and PPG joined forces with the Joey Logano Foundation for the Partners Powering Hurricane Recovery initiative. They matched donations up to $100,000, directing funds to charities like Speedway Children’s Charities Bristol, Crossnore Communities for Children, Least of These Carolinas, and the Children’s Hope Alliance.
Fans Celebrate Logano’s Kindness
Logano’s fans continue to admire his generosity. On Reddit, supporters shared heartfelt messages. One fan commented, “Say what you want about him, but he does nice things for people in need.” Another noted, “His foundation built a kids’ playground for all abilities in my town years ago. He’s a good guy. He doesn’t have to do this stuff.”
Others were equally impressed by his recent vehicle donations, with one fan saying, “Love what you do, Joey, on and off the track. The real GOAT 🏆🏆🏆.”
Beyond Hurricane Relief
Logano’s commitment to helping others doesn’t stop with disaster recovery. Alongside his wife, Brittany Baca, Logano recently participated in a Christmas charity event organized by the Children’s Hope Foundation. The couple handed out gifts to children, while Ford Performance donated 16 bicycles to the cause.
A Champion with a Heart
Logano’s journey in NASCAR hasn’t always been smooth, but his resilience is part of what makes him so relatable. After being let go by Joe Gibbs Racing, he found redemption with Team Penske, where he’s thrived ever since. This spirit of second chances extends to his charitable work, as he uses his platform to uplift others facing adversity.
As one fan put it, “Awesome work, @joeylogano. Always thinking of others.” Whether on the racetrack or in the community, Joey Logano proves time and again why he’s a champion in every sense of the word.
