With 14 Wins This Season, Logan Roberson Would Like To Add 15 At VMS
Logan Roberson guns for win number 15 of the season this week when he straps behind the wheel for the Fastrak World Challenge.
By Jonathon Masters
This week's Fastrak World Challenge and Championship is packed with Late Model dirt track talent, but only one driver can win each night at Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, VA. With 14 wins to his credit, Logan Roberson might well be that driver.
Those are impressive numbers for a driver who has not yet turned 20 and is in just his third year of racing this type of car, so we had to find out a little more before he tackles Virginia Motor Speedway for only the third time in his career.
FloRacing: You've had a pretty good season.
Logan Roberson: Coming off a great season, been really lucky. We're on win No. 14. We've won at Winchester, Hagerstown, Potomac, and Natural Bridge.
You're pretty new at all of this.
This is my third year racing. I started out in Sportsman. I'm 19 now and we've been running the crate late model around three years.
How did you get into racing?
My dad races supers, and I've helped him since I was young. I've been hooked ever since.
Who are your biggest helpers on your racing endeavors?
My dad has helped a lot. Mike Tire and Auto has helped a lot, and BTS Towing Service has been a great sponsor. We've also had great luck with Rocket Chassis, Integra Shocks, Dirt Defender, and All About Wraps.
Have you had a chance to race at Virginia Motor Speedway yet?
I raced there once this year for a local show and raced the Championships last season. The facility is second to none. It's a very nice place. We made the main event last year and hope to improve on our finish from 2016. I think I've raced enough to make the Friday night show this year so we're looking forward to racing both nights.
So being 19, what is your current life like with all this racing?
I've dedicated to life to be able to race. Went straight to work after high school and the racing sort of dominates my time. We've raced up to 50 times this year, and that schedule is demanding.
What are your plans for the future?
I think we're really open after this season. I'd like to go on the full tour, but we're needing to develop more sponsors and help going forward.
How do you like your chances this weekend?
As consistent as we've been this year, we should have a good chance. It's not going to be a cake walk with the caliber of racers that are going to be there, but racing against these guys makes me a better racer.
Watch Roberson, Cla Knight, Matthew Nance, and many more Fastrak stars this Friday and Saturday, streaming LIVE on FloRacing.
