Logano says no change in his status:

#20-Joey Logano didn ‘t know anything more about his 2013 plans Friday than he did Tuesday morning before Roush Fenway Racing announced that Matt Kenseth was leaving its organization. Kenseth is expected to join Joe Gibbs Racing, either in a fourth car or as a replacement for Logano, who does not have a contract for next year. ‘I ‘ve heard nothing new,’ Logano said following qualifying at Kentucky Speedway. ‘We ‘re still up in the air on a lot of things.’ Team president J.D. Gibbs said Wednesday that he would like Logano to remain at JGR long term but the sides don ‘t have a deal done for 2013. Gibbs declined to discuss whether Kenseth was joining the organization. ‘We want (Logano) to be here forever,’ Gibbs said Wednesday. ‘That’s kind of what we ‘re working on. Until you have stuff laid out (and can say), ‘˜Here’s the plan, ‘ it’s not really worth talking about.’(Sporting News)(6-30-2012)
