Accoring to certain rumours, NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Joey Logano would currently be in talks with Penske Racing about getting a full-time drive next season.

Penske Racing fired AJ Allmendinger after he tested positive at the random drug test. Since the moment Allmendinger was banned from racing by NASCAR, Penske put Sam Hornish Jr behind the wheel of the No. 22 Dodge Sprint Cup car.

However, Penske is looking for a new driver for next season.

Comes Logano into the portrait.

Born in Connecticut in 1990, the young Logano looks for a new home as he has lost his drive to Matt Kenseth at Joe Gibbs Racing. Despite a lack of results, Logano is still highly considered. For that reason, he now would be in talks with Roger Penske.

“We must be a pretty good-looking girl, we’re getting a lot of people calling for dates,” Penske said Sunday. “At this point, we haven’t made any decisions.”

Ryan Newman and Brian Vickers also have been mentioned as possible candidates.
