A Win at Richmond
Joey Logano crossed the finish line first in the 2026 Cook Out 400, delivering Team Penske its second triumph of the season and reinforcing the driver’s early championship credentials.
The No. 22 car passed post‑race inspection without issue, sparing the team a return to the R&D Center and allowing the focus to remain on strategy rather than technical penalties.
In the closing laps, Logano’s maneuvering forced Chase Briscoe and Christopher Bell into a battle for second, a result that reshaped the leaderboard and highlighted the competitive depth of the field.
The victory lifted Logano to ninth place in the series points, a position that reflects both consistency and the ability to capitalize on late‑race opportunities.
