DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Joey Logano, the 18-year-old rookie driver from Middletown, Conn., who became the youngest driver in NASCAR history to start the Daytona 500 had his bid to become the youngest winner in the sport's history thwarted when he crashed on Lap 81.

Logano's No. 20 Home Depot Toyota spun as it came off Turn 4, and impacted a retaining wall near the entrance of pit road. It skidded across pit road and came to a rest on the grassy stretch near the tri-oval's dog leg.

Logano emerged unhurt, but his car sustained heavy front-end damage and was done for the day.
