Joey Logano in Gillette Ad Campaign

Gillette announced today that Joey Logano, the youngest driver in the history of NASCAR to win a Sprint Cup Series event, will be joining Gillette Young Guns Drivers, alongside other racing hotties, including Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman.

In his first full-time year in NASCAR's highest level of competition, the 19-year-old driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota took first place on June 28, at Lennox Industrial Tools 301, New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Logano had already completed filming a new commercial that promotes the Gillette Optimal Shave indicator strip, which alerts consumers that it is time to change their blades when the strip color changes from blue to white. Logano may be old enough to shave, but he is still too young to give shaving advices to men.

"Joey is one of the hottest drivers in the sport and we are pleased to welcome him as the newest member of the Gillette Young Guns,"
said Michelle Potorski, Associate Marketing Director, Gillette North America.

The 30-second commercial, which will begin airing on July 11, features all seven Gillette Young Guns drivers, that have combined for four NASCAR Cup Series Championships and four Daytona 500 victories, including Ryan Newman's historic victory at the 50th running of the Daytona 500 in 2008.

"Our new commercial is about change -- whether it's reminding consumers to change their blades or adding a teenage rookie sensation to our Gillette Young Guns roster. We're proud to have Joey join the team and look forward to watching his career take off in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series,"
added Potorski.
