Joey Logano is well-known for his charitable endeavors and for his willingness to expand his family through adoption.
Sometimes, however, the best intentions can turn to… well, you get the idea.
In October, Logano and wife Brittany finalized the adoption of two foster children who had been under their care since the spring, bringing their total number of children to five.
Traveling with the entire contingent requires large vehicles in what Logano calls “van life,” but there can be hazards involved, as Logano found out the hard way on the way to Bristol this fall.
“This happened, and it’s only funny now, ‘cause it wasn’t in the moment,” Logano said on the morning of the NASCAR Awards at the Adrienne Arsht Center. “We’ve got this portable potty, because the driver of the van (Logano) doesn’t like to make pit stops very often.
“Driving to Bristol, there’s a lot of curvy roads, because it’s 10 minutes faster, 15 minutes faster to go through Morganton (N.C.) and up that way. And the potty started sliding, and the potty flipped.
“Made the corner a little too fast. That was disgusting. It was horrible, but that happened. .. I should have had that thing figured out back there. The driver was doing his job to get there. I was on the road. It was sliding back and forth. I heard it slide to the left, and in the next corner it slid back the other way, and then you hear all the kids, ‘Oh, no.’ They were all screaming.”
It’s a fair guess that Logano’s first offseason project will be finding a way to anchor the portable potty.
