Joey Logano was accused of cheating last weekend by Martin Truex Jr., however, NASCAR disagreed. At any speed, Logano ended up dropping the FireKeepers Casino 400, earning his second victory of the season. His NASCAR Cup Championship chances are now at +700, but is he a great bet to win for a second consecutive season, or is he too insecure of a bet?

\n*Opportunities accepted 06\/13\/19 Logano is Hot Logano has had a couple of really strong stretches this season where you consider him as a good bet to win everything, and then he’ll have the odd hiccup here and there. He placed fourth at the Dayton 500 but then followed up with a 23rd in Atlanta. He had three straight top 10’s then and then back-to-back finishes of 17th and 19th.
\nRight now, Logano is on a heater. He won last week in Michigan but that has been his fourth straight top 7 finish and eighth in his last nine outings. He’s currently the leader in terms of things in the NASCAR standings, along with a case can be made that he has been the best driver annually.

\nBack-to-Back Championship Winners Are Unusual The challenge with betting on Logano is you need to remember that winning the NASCAR championship in back-to-back years is tough. No driver has completed that since Jimmie Johnson had his historic run of five consecutive titles in a row out of 2006-2010.
\nLogano Are Overshadowed
\nOne of the reasons Logano is not higher up the record in terms of chances (although he is on top of the points standings) is because he has been overshadowed by drivers with more wins. This past weekend was his second win of this year, but Kyle Busch has four wins, Martin Truex Jr. has three, and Denny Hamlin contains two.<\/p>\n
