Joe Gibbs Racing has selected 18-year-old Joe Logano to replace Tony Stewart in the No. 20 Sprint Cup Toyota next season.

Logano was introduced Monday at the team’s race shop, less than two months after he made his debut in the Nationwide Series.

Home Depot will remain the primary sponsor of the car, and Greg Zipadelli will continue as crew chief.

Logano became the youngest winner on NASCAR’s second-tier series in June.
