Reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano has been nominated for the 2025 ESPYS Best Driver Award, ESPN announced on Thursday.
Logano won four races in 2024 — including three in the playoffs — to earn his third Cup Series title and his second in three seasons. He nearly got eliminated after the Round of 12, but a post-race disqualification to Alex Bowman after the Charlotte Roval gave him a second lease on life toward becoming the 10th driver with three or more championships.

Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen from Formula One and IndyCar’s Alex Palou were also nominated for the award. The winner will be announced during the show at 8 p.m. ET on July 16 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles (televised on ABC). Comedian Shane Gillis will host the show.
Logano looks to become the first NASCAR driver to win the award since Kyle Larson took home the honors in 2022. In total, 19 NASCAR drivers have won the Best Driver Award with Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon each winning four times.
