A Victory Fueled by Teamwork
Logano took the opportunity to thank his crew, especially chief engineer Paul Wolfe, and praised the car’s performance under the pressure of a points‑heavy stage.
He emphasized the importance of capitalizing on every point as the season progresses, noting the mental strain that comes with such high stakes.
