Joey Logano made a statement in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway - he and Team Penske will be major players in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Logano dominated the race, which had been pushed back from Saturday night due to rain, leading 227 of the 334 laps, the most in his career. It marked his 12th career victory, and punched his ticket to the Eliminator round of the Chase, meaning he won't have to worry about the unpredictability of the cutoff race at Talladega in a couple of weeks.
Logano spoke to the media afterwards, talking about the win and the Chase implications. We also heard from car owner Roger Penske, along with second place finisher Kevin Harvick and third place finisher Martin Truex, Jr.
Austin Dillon made a bold move for the lead of Friday night's NASCAR Xfinity Series race with a three wide move on Erik Jones and Kyle Busch with 54 laps to go, and went on to score the victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Dillon beat out Jones by 2.8 seconds for the win. While Dillon moved away for the victory, the two strongest cars all night, Kyle Busch and Kasey Kahne, tangled after pushing each other around, with both cars slamming the wall, spoiling their nights.
But up front, it was all Austin Dillon, as he scored his sixth series victory. Dillon talked to the media about the win afterwards. We also heard from fourth place finisher Daniel Suarez.
