For racing fans in the Houston area, Joey Logano's win at North Wilkesboro Speedway is a welcome boost to the local NASCAR community.

With his streak of 15 straight seasons with a win now intact, Logano's confidence and momentum may inspire a new wave of interest in stock car racing among Houstonians.
