CONCORD, N.C. — Joey Logano provided a sobering update Thursday night about the family’s lost dog, Luigi.
The dog had been missing since Tuesday.
Unfortunately, we got the news we didn’t want to share about our Luigi. We’ll miss him, but thank you to everyone for their thoughts, prayers and efforts trying to find him.

Logano’s wife Brittany wrote on a Facebook post for lost and found pets in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area that the family’s French Bulldog got out of their fence Tuesday night.
“Our little Luigi I believe he’s stolen, I think,” Joey Logano said earlier Thursday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “We can’t really put a match to anything. We put a bunch of signs up and things on social media and we watched the cameras at our house and we see him running around the backyard and then you don’t see him again. Not really sure what happened there.”
“We’ve learned that Frenchies are one of the most stolen dogs around. It’s kind of sad that someone does that. It’s a member of your family. It’s a jerk move. Hopefully, we can figure it out.”
