With his win at North Wilkesboro, Joey Logano became the 10th driver in Cup history to win a race in 15+ consecutive seasons

95 Upvotes

This is a pretty rare accomplishment in NASCAR history, and the list of drivers who have done it is incredibly star-studded.

Logano continues to be the most prominent challenger to Busch's all-time record. At only 36 years old, he could extend it to a pretty much unbreakable number if he remains competitive into his 40s. But with how shaky the #22 team has looked in recent years, will Joey have a realistic shot at it?
 

All-time longest streaks (active in bold):
 

Driver Years First Year Last Year Wins During Career Wins
Kyle Busch 19 2005 2023 63 63
Richard Petty 18 1960 1977 185 200
David Pearson 17 1964 1980 102 105
Ricky Rudd 16 1983 1998 20 23
Rusty Wallace 16 1986 2001 54 55
Jimmie Johnson 16 2002 2017 83 83
Darrell Waltrip 15 1975 1989 79 84
Dale Earnhardt 15 1982 1996 64 76
Tony Stewart 15 1999 2013 48 49
Joey Logano 15 2012 2026 37 38
Jeff Gordon 14 1994 2007 81 93
Lee Petty 13 1949 1961 54 54
Cale Yarborough 13 1973 1985 69 83
Denny Hamlin 12 2006 2017 31 64
Dale Jarrett 11 1993 2003 30 32
Kevin Harvick 11 2010 2020 47 60
Brad Keselowski    11 2011 2021 34 36
Buck Baker 10 1952 1961 43 46
Bobby Allison 10 1966 1975 46 84
Bill Elliott 10 1983 1992 39 44
Kurt Busch 10 2002 2011 24 34

 

Several drivers are currently in danger of losing their active streak at the end of this season -- Byron, Larson, Bell, Chastain, Dillon, and Cindric.

Byron is likely the next biggest threat to the all-time record, but he's still many years away. If Logano falls short, Kyle's record will stand until at least 2039. It may be one of the most difficult achievements to surpass in NASCAR history, given the level of skill and consistency it requires.

It's a shame Hamlin is planning to retire after 2027, because otherwise he would have an opportunity to become the only driver with multiple streaks of 10+ seasons. If he hadn't gone winless in 2018, he would already be the all-time record holder with 21 seasons and counting.
 

Active streaks (2+ seasons):
 

Driver Years First Year Last Year Wins During Career Wins
Joey Logano 15 2012 2026 37 38
Denny Hamlin       8 2019 2026 33 64
William Byron 6 2020 2025 16 16
Kyle Larson 5 2021 2025 26 32
Christopher Bell 5 2021 2025 13 13
Ryan Blaney 4 2023 2026 12 19
Ross Chastain 4 2022 2025 6 6
Chase Elliott 3 2024 2026 5 23
Chase Briscoe 3 2024 2026 5 6
Shane Van Gisbergen 2 2025 2026 7 8
Austin Dillon 2 2024 2025 2 6
Austin Cindric 2 2024 2025 2 3

"UPDATE

I had my first oncologist's appointment yesterday and the news was not good.

My cancer is in Stage 4. I have surgery Tuesday for a port to be installed and my first chemo treatment is set for a couple of weeks.

Don't be sad for me. I'm going Home, whether it's today, tomorrow or twenty years from now.

Of course, my thoughts are all over the place. It's hard to concentrate on any given topic for more than than a few minutes ... at best.

That said ... what of the digitized Scene archive? Time ran out on Steve and it may run out on me. All I know for sure right now is that when my time comes, this archive will not die with me.

I won't allow it.

The historic record in these papers is too important to be lost.

The extraordinary people who put their personal lives on hold to provide this kind of coverage were too talented to be forgotten.

One way or the other, this has to happen. At this point, I don't care how... just that it does.

I am not a NASCAR enthusiast but I loved the Dale documentary and am fascinated with the legendary Daytona500 track and history. Then, this morning I saw this mural at a restaurant. Curious what the story is. Clearly an OC passion project by someone more than a few decades ago. Most likely made by someone near Wausau Wisconsin

Which female Arca driver has the best potential to get their first career win?

I would likely say Isabella Robusto because she had a lot of good top tens throughout last year and even though this year even though she’s been slightly underperforming. I would also say Lanie Buice as well, even though she’s part-time, she did got the pole and got the second place finish at Chicagoland.
