"Since taking over the No. 22 car at Team Penske, I’ve had the opportunity to accomplish so many of my dreams both on and off the track," Logano, who joined Penske in 2013, said in a press release. "For the last 10 years, Roger [Penske] has provided me the resources to be competitive, a team that stands behind me and leadership that is second to none."
Logano initially drove for Joe Gibbs Racing, joining the Cup Series at the ripe age of 18. But his success came under Penske, earning 27 of his 29 career victories with them.
"Over the last 10 years Joey has become such an important part of Team Penske and we know he will continue to be a leader and a winner with the No. 22 Ford team well into the future," said Roger Penske.
