Logano defends Bristol victory to hold off Gibbs drivers

Denny Hamlin was a front runner for most of the 500 lap flashed leading 54 circuiting claiming third in the Joseph Gibbs racing Toyota though we’re particularly.

Something always seems to happen that excites, and it usually comes from drivers getting in post-race arguments. Hamlin’s 131.407 miles per hour pole-winning lap was a track qualifying record….

Both were running in the top-five on a restart when Jimmie Johnson pinched Ragan. “I was really proud to get behind the wheel”.

Consistency propelled Harvick to last season’s Sprint Cup championship, and could put him in position to repeat this year. But he finished 24th and 11th in the past two races. His driver rating of 104.6 at Bristol is best of anyone in the field.

In the old days, before the progressive banking, the battle for bottom around the track was everything and it created drama.

“I knew it wasn’t going to do it”, Kenseth said. “We had two top-five cars and MWR really needed that run”. “We’re excited. Bristol has been a good track for me in the past and we have nothing to lose this weekend, just gearing up for the Chase“. You learn how to race with these guys. “It would be cool if they would send you a text or something”.

Dillon is 20th in the points standings, and certainly needs a win now if he wants to qualify for the 16-driver Chase, which is now just three races away.

But the next lead change belonged to Carl Edwards, who came out of the pits first after a debris caution on Lap 253.

It also was Busch’s third win in six Xfinity Series starts this year.

The Irwin Tools Night Race takes place under the lights tonight from Bristol and we have some picks to consider for this one. He’s won twice each on the old and new layouts. “Everybody on the team has kind of taken up that same mentality”. That is the driver for me – to just do more things. Gordon, still searching for that first win on 2015, hasn’t won at Bristol since 2002. He was able to get some huge runs off the exit of the corner and I couldn’t get off the corner. Last year, the 25-year-old Team Penske driver passed Matt Kenseth with 44 laps to go for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory at a half-mile track. He was runner-up last fall. “I made a mistake there on pit street and received us behind and simply did not get our Budweiser Chevy via visitors like Joey did”. Busch was poised to start back to third on the final restart before a speeding infraction sent him to the back of the lead pack.

Displaying remarkable speed and dexterity, the rabbit evaded capture for quite some time as track staff attempted to trap it in a large bucket.

Three-time victor , the last in 2014, and all coming for Roush Fenway Racing; 15th-place average.
