Inspired by his ongoing success in race circuits during career spanning over a decade, the Guinness World Record also celebrated the launch of Logano\u2019s all-new 2018 Hot Wheels Ford Mustang featuring custom Joey Logano Racing \/ Hot Wheels racing livery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHot Wheels has been pushing the boundaries in car culture with it\u2019s challenger spirit, outrageous design and unparalled performance for over 51 years,\u201d said Ricardo Briceno, Senior Director of Brand Marketing for Hot Wheels. \u201cJoey Logano embodies that same spirit in his racing, which is why we\u2019re thrilled to partner with him on this record-breaking track and special edition die-cast. He\u2019s truly brought the Hot Wheels challenger spirit to life today!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Logano broke the world record at his personal race garage in Charlotte, NC. The track started in Joey\u2019s expansive race shop, weaving through his fantastic car collection \u2013 including a Deloreon, custom Rat Rod International, International Scout and a 1933 custom Ford hot rod, 1972 Ford Econoline, 2017 Ford GT\u2013 and eventually ending inside the cockpit of his 2018 Hot Wheels Ford Mustang.<\/p>\n<p>During the nail-biting attempt, Logano was at the start and finish lines, pushing the car through the first of 122 boosters and then jumping into his 2018 Hot Wheels Ford Mustang to witness the die-cast dive into the cockpit upon completion. With over a year of planning and 7 days of setting up the track for the perfect run, Logano\u2019s attempt was witnessed by friends, family and NASCAR royalty from the Petty family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTalk about a childhood dream come true! I have so many memories playing with my Hot Wheels cars as a kid, and it\u2019s fun to jump back in that space with my son who shares the same passion for his Hot Wheels as I did,\u201d said Joey Logano. \u201cHot Wheels basically founded my passion for racing \u2013 the first car I ever had was a Hot Wheels car \u2013 and now being here, setting this world record with my son and an amazing team of Hot Wheels fans is a great way to announce our new special edition Ford Mustang.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Hot Wheels Joey Logano 2018 Ford Mustang will be available on shelves for Hot Wheels fans to add to their collections by July 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2018 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Joey Logano partnered with Hot Wheels to successfully break the Guinness World Record for the World\u2019s Longest Hot Wheels track coming in at over 1,941 feet.
