Joey Logano of Team Penske secured a thrilling victory at the South Point 400 NASCAR Cup Series race held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday. With this win, Logano clinched a spot in the Championship 4, where he will compete for his third title. Employing a fuel mileage gamble, Logano passed Daniel Suarez with five laps remaining, aided by drafting help from his teammate Ryan Blaney. Despite a rapidly charging Christopher Bell, who finished second, Logano managed to hold on for the win. This victory continues a pattern for Logano, who has won the first race in the Round of 8 in even years (2018, 2020, 2022, and now 2024). Notably, Logano was nearly eliminated from the playoffs last week but advanced after Alex Bowman's disqualification.
