NASCAR driver Joey Logano has criticized the series' new championship format, voicing concerns ahead of the Freeway Insurance 500 at Phoenix Raceway.

The Team Penske driver, who qualified for the race on October 17, 2026, at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, expressed his dissatisfaction with the revised playoff structure during a media session.

Logano's comments come as NASCAR implements changes to its championship format for the 2026 season. The series has not yet released full details of the modifications, but Logano's remarks suggest potential driver unease with the new system.

The Freeway Insurance 500 is scheduled for later this weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
