How about a little respect for the defending Daytona 500 champion?
On Monday, FOX Sports 1's NASCAR Race Hub asked you -- the fans -- a simple question for the "Connect Live" poll. Which of the first three winners from this season is the championship favorite?
Well, Joey Logano was watching ... and wasn't too pleased with how many votes he initially received: A mere 1 percent.

Ouch.
To be fair, the screen shot that Logano tweeted was taken at an unfortunate moment. He did eventually make it up to 12 percent by the time the poll closed. Here's the full segment.
Former teammate Denny Hamlin came to Logano's defense.

And don't say AJ Allmendinger didn't try to help.

So remember, the next time you vote in the "Connect Live" poll ... Joey Logano just may be watching.
