 This weekend, Joey Logano is working hard on and off the track. He is taking on many challenge this weekend. Some of them will be new experiences for Logano.

Logano will be doing his usual this weekend. He'll be racing his #20 Home Depot Toyota in the Sprint Cup Series on Sunday, and is returning to his #20 GameStop Toyota in the Nationwide Series after taking a couple weeks off. But Logano has also taken on a couple more challenges.

In addition to Sprint Cup and Nationwide, Logano is also taking on the world of the Rolex Sports Car Series. He and Boris Said will be piloting a car together in the race today which is set to air at 6pm EST on Speed. Logano and Said have been working hard with the car all week.

However, the two had a little mishap yesterday in a practice session. Logano was saying the car was fast, and he was running good. But then he crashed, causing them to have to switch to a back-up car later today. Hopefully this one is as good as the first.

Now that I've covered the racing side of Logano's weekend, let's move on to something else. Logano is taking on yet another challenge this weekend. Have you ever heard of a little show call Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel? Well, good ol' Adam Richman is the Grand Marshall for Sundays Sprint Cup race. And little ol' scrawny Logano couldn't help but take on the challenge he was offered. Richman will be with Logano all weekend, hanging out and getting to know him. Then come Monday, Logano and Richman are off to tape an episode of Man vs. Food where Logano will take on a food challenge. Hope he's got a deep stomach. Or a hollow leg. :) Anyways, the episode is set to air for October 19 @ 9pm EST on Travel Channel.

Logano has a busy weekend of "Loganothon' (as it's being referred too) ahead of him. With all this racing and then all the eating, he's gonna need all the luck he can get. Good luck Joey on your crazy weekend! Hope it goes well!
