Joey Logano secured his third victory of the season in the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to clinch a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4
The No. 22 Ford driver, who had previously faced doubts about his playoff prospects, soared to his third season win at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway – a track where he’s no stranger to success. Previously triumphant here and having claimed pole position for the Pennzoil 400 in March, Logano started the race in 10th but seized the lead in the final six laps.
He dashed across the finish line with a 0.662-second lead over Christopher Bell, who dominated for 155 laps only to end up in second place. Logano, reveling in his victory, reflected on the dramatic turnaround from last weekend’s low to this triumphant high.
“Oh my gosh. It’s an incredible turn of events coming from what was at the end of last weekend and what it was like Sunday night after a couple hours after the race and to this Sunday,” remarked Logano post-race. “This sport is just incredible. Things change, but what a team I’ve got.”
Last week, Logano’s playoff hopes seemed to dim after he finished eighth at the Bank of America Roval 400, but his fortunes turned when Alex Bowman’s car was disqualified for not meeting the post-race minimum weight requirement.
