NASCAR Sprint Cup Series: Joey Logano vence em Bristol
Joey Logano (Team Penske Ford) venceu na noite de sábado (22/08), a Irwin Tools Night Race, no Bristol Motor Speedway, 24ª etapa da NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Foi a terceira vitória de Logano no ano, e 11ª na categoria. Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet) e Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota) completaram os três primeiros.
Após reassumir a liderança em uma relargada na 438ª volta, Logano resistiu aos ataques de Harvick no curtíssimo speedway de apenas 800 metros, até a bandeirada final.
Harvick, que fez uma grande prova de recuperação após duas punições por infrações nos pits, terminou apenas 0s220 atrás de Logano. O pole-position Hamlin foi o terceiro.
Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet) terminou em quarto, seguido por Clint Bowyer (Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota).
Brad Keselowski (Team Penske Ford) foi o sexto, seguido por Carl Edwards (Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota).
Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota) liderou o maior número de voltas, 192. Mas levou um punição por excesso de velocidade nos pits, durante uma bandeira amarela na 432ª volta, e terminou apenas em oitavo.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet) e Ryan Newman (Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet) fecharam os dez primeiros.
Harvick lidera o campeonato com 908 pontos, seguido por Logano com 865.
A próxima etapa acontece no Darlington Speedway, no dia 06 de setembro.
