Youngster Joey Logano, one of the most talked about rising stars in the NASCAR ranks will makes his debut in Saturday's Nationwide Series at Dover. Logano, who turned 18 last weeks, has spent the past three years as part of Joe Gibbs Racing's developmental system.

Veteran and star driver Mark Martin who had this to say about the then 15-year-old in 2005 discovered the youngster.

"I am high on Joey Logano because I am absolutely, 100 per cent positive, without a doubt that he can be one of the greatest that ever raced in NASCAR," Martin said. "I'm positive. There's no doubt in my mind."

Since then, he won the 2007 Grand National title with five wins in 13 starts and won in his only NASCAR West Series start. Last October, Logano led 87 laps at Irwindale Speedway to beat many of NASCAR's top developmental drivers in the Toyota All-Star Showdown.

Just twenty days before his birthday, Logano entered his first ARCA event, winning at North Carolina Speedway and cementing Martin's assessment of him.
