Joey Logano seized on his reversal of fortune to become the first driver locked into NASCAR's championship finale.
NASCAR Cup Series driver Joey Logano celebrates after winning a NASCAR Cup Series auto race Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024, in Las Vegas.
The only two-time Cup champion in the playoff field, Logano passed Daniel Suarez with five laps remaining Sunday for his fourth career victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It is the second win of the playoffs for Logano and the Team Penske driver makes a Ford the first one locked into the winner-take-all final four at Phoenix Raceway next month.
“I don't know, I don't know, and I don't think I've come to terms with this yet,” Bell said. “Just a bummer. I think everyone on this team did everything perfect. Just because I ran second today doesn't mean I'm going to finish anywhere next week. You're never safe in this deal, so we needed to win today and unfortunately, we didn't.”
Kyle Larson, winner of two straight at Las Vegas as well as last week at Charlotte, came from two laps down to finish 11th. The remaining three playoff drivers had terrible days as reigning Cup champion Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and regular-season champion Tyler Reddick were all collected in the same early crash.
