SPARTA, Ky. — Amid news of a contract extension for Denny Hamlin and speculation swirling around Matt Kenseth’s possible arrival at Joe Gibbs Racing next year, team owner Joe Gibbs said Saturday at Kentucky Speedway that his top priority was re-signing Joey Logano.

Logano, 22, who is in a contract year, has five NASCAR Nationwide Series victories and one Sprint Cup win to his credit this year and has begun to blossom in his pairing with first-year Cup crew chief Jason Ratcliff.

“We’re working real hard right now on extending him and his relationship with us,” Gibbs said Friday after the drivers’ meeting for Saturday night’s Quaker State 400. “We’ve had a great relationship — signed him when he was 15.
