“Four tires were good and we were able to get some
good restarts and get ourselves back up there,” Logano said.
Logano had to be strong over a series of late
restarts in a race that featured a season-high 15 cautions.
“We’re doing what we have to do to win this thing…the
guys did a good job of setting this thing up.
They gave me something to win with today.”
Logano’s teammate Brad Keselowski won the pole for
the race, and he led the first 35 laps of the race. Following a competition caution, Denny Hamlin
used pit strategy to get to the front and take the lead.
Kevin Harvick ran Hamlin down on lap 71 to take the
lead. He led until Logano took the lead
during a caution on lap 170.
Logano led through numerous caution periods that included
many Chase contenders, including Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Kasey Kahne and Ryan
Newman.
After debris brought out the caution on lap 211,
Brian Vickers took the lead and he led until Keselowski chased him down for the
lead on lap 227.
Following a caution on lap 263, Keselowski led the
field to the green flag on the restart.
Logano got into Keselowski, causing both drivers to get loose. That allowed Harvick to take the lead, but he
only held on until the next restart on lap 273.
Logano took the lead from Harvick, and held off Harvick
and Kyle Larson over the final two restarts to take the victory.
