Logano is criminally underrated as a driver because people dislike him. He won the title in the last year of the high horsepower package where the driver supposedly had more influence. He won the title in the first year of the NextGen car. Now he’s won his third title.
His season was only bad when looking at historic metrics like season long average finish. The new format is about winning. He won more playoff races than anybody else. He won more races in the 2nd half of the season than anybody else. He even had the 2nd most wins if you insist on looking at the whole season.
He also won the All Star race. He would have won the first Richmond race if NASCAR had penalized Hamlin for jumping the final restart and he would have won the 2nd Richmond race if Dillon didn’t go on his final turn wreck-everybody rampage.
Winning is king these days (because people hated drivers winning championships with boring “good points day” finishes) and Logano is a winner.
