Gibbs: Logano could run in Cup this year

"We would like to get him into some Cup stuff toward the end of the year," Gibbs said. "Now, whether we'll be able to do it or not, we want to make sure he's in good stuff in the right way."
The advanced billing was there for the kid from Connecticut who has won races at every level at which he's driven. But Gibbs said he was just hoping the expectations don't overwhelm Logano.
"I was so concerned the first part of the year with Joey, even though we knew all of the talent and everything that he had," Gibbs said. "I was so worried about all the pressure and everything that had been put on him.
"Our biggest concern with Joey is we knew the talent and we're committed for the long haul." Logano, who had to wait to race in Nationwide until after he turned 18 late last month, already has two poles and two top-five finishes in his three starts. Gibbs said he is somewhat surprised by the fast start.

Re: Gibbs: Logano could run in Cup this year

Jeez, 3 busch starts and he's already talking about running him in some cup races this year. Anybody else thinking that maybe it's to quick?
Why do these owners keep thinking that if a busch driver wins a race, they should take them to the cup series immediately? I think he should have to race at least 1 full year in busch before he can move up. But I think that about all of em.

How the hell would Gibbs get him in a Cup ride, the 18, 11, and 20 are most likely all going to make the Chase, I don't see how it would work, and any way, I would love to see him run a full season of Nationwide first.

Re: Gibbs: Logano could run in Cup this year

I guess he'll have to get a 4th team going for those few races. I think he should stay in a busch awhile. I hate to see him do like Gilliland. Thats another one that I enjoyed watching in busch and had hopes for, until they rushed him to cup.
