Gillette announced Thursday that is has added Joey Logano, driver of the No. 20 Toyota, to its elite group of Gillette Young Guns drivers, which already includes Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman.
Logano earned his rookie stripes from his fellow Gillette Young Guns during the filming of a new commercial to support 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. The commercial features all seven Gillette Young Guns and highlights Logano as the latest addition to the roster of Cup Series stars.

"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. "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 Cup Series."

Beginning in Daytona, Fla., site of the Daytona 500 (1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX), a Gillette-branded motorcoach will travel coast-to-coast, making special pit stops at all the drivers' hometowns. The "shave teams" feature Clint Bowyer with Carl Edwards; Kyle Busch with Joey Logano; and Denny Hamlin with Kasey Kahne. Throughout the competition, the teams will be on a mission to record a goal of more than 500,000 shaves -- the equivalent of 500 miles of skin -- with the Gillette Fusion MVP razor before April 30.
