· Logano and The Home Depot Team will be looking for retribution at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) on Saturday night. Logano's first trip to DIS in the Daytona 500 did not go as planned for the 19-year-old rookie. After starting from the ninth position, Logano was running 25th when he was involved in a multi-car incident that relegated the rookie to a 43rd-place finish.
· Logano moved up to 21st in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings following his win last Sunday and sits just six points out of the top 20. Over the last 10 races, Logano and The Home Depot Team have climbed from 31st in the standings to 21st. They have finished in the top 25 in the past 10 races which included one win and four top 10s and have completed all but two laps.

· The Home Depot Team is taking chassis #243 to the track this weekend for the Coke Zero 400. Logano drove this chassis at Talladega Superspeedway in April to his first career top-10 finish. He started from the 22nd position and drafted up to ninth when the checkered flag waved.
