Logano Wins at Talladega, Knocks Earnhardt Out of Chase

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Track News

Through no fault of his own, Joey Logano may have achieved the most unpopular sweep in NASCAR history on Sunday afternoon.

Why? Because his victory in the CampingWorld.com 500 at Talladega Superspeedway knocked Dale Earnhardt Jr. out of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup—by a matter of inches.

When NASCAR threw the third caution of the race moments after the first bona fide attempt at a green-white-checkered-flag restart on lap 195—with Kevin Harvick’s engine turning sour and cars wrecking behind him—Logano was inches ahead Earnhardt. Continue reading →

Logano Locked-in on NASCAR’s Biggest Stage

If the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is a stage, then Joey Logano is its leading man.

Logano has proven ‘the moment’ isn’t too big for him.

A year after posting the best average finish during the 2014 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (6.4), Logano has won the first two races of the 2015 Contender Round and is the only driver guaranteed to advance to the Eliminator 8 Round heading into Sunday’s CampingWorld.com 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. His average finish in the Chase this year – 4.2. For context, the best average finish through an entire Chase was Carl Edwards’ 4.9, set during the last ten races of 2011.

On the season, Logano has tied his career-best total in wins and has set career highs in top-fives with 19, top-tens with 25 and Coors Light Pole Awards with five. His win at Kansas marked the first time in his career he’s recorded consecutive victories.

Logano noted how nice it is to relax going into Talladega, but the next round presents challenges. Continue reading →

Timothy Peters is our guest on Fan4Racing with Catchfence NASCAR Weekend Preview on Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 9 pm ET. Call 929-477-1790 or tweet @Fan4RacingSite @KPokrefky @beberly18 or Knighter01 with any questions or comments during our LIVE broadcast.

Timothy Peters finished Saturday’s fred’s 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway exactly where he started—at the front of the pack—despite an extraordinary ebb and flow between the opening green flag and the checkers.

Peters was out front when NASCAR called the sixth caution of the race on the first lap of the only attempt at a green-white-checkered-flag finish, after contact between the trucks of John Wes Townley and Spencer Gallagher sent both crashing hard into the outside wall.

The victory was Peters’ first of the season, his second straight at Talladega and the ninth of his career. Continue reading →
