Joey Logano drove the No. 22 Ford to Victory Lane on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday as he was crowned the NASCAR Cup Series champion for the third time.
Joey Logano became a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion on Sunday as he won the NASCAR Cup Series Championship race and the season title.
Logano held off defending champion and fellow Championship Four competitor Ryan Blaney for first place. William Byron finished in third and Tyler Reddick finished in sixth place.
It was Logano’s fourth victory of the season. He won at Nashville to clinch a spot in the postseason and then found himself in Victory Lane at Atlanta during the Round of 16. He won again in Las Vegas to clinch a spot in the championship race and put the cherry on top of his incredible year with the result at Phoenix.
“I love the playoffs. I love it, man. What a race! What a Team Penske battle there at the end”, he said, per NASCAR.
