Joey Logano wins Cook Out 400 at Richmond for second victory of the season

Joey Logano claimed victory at the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway, his second win of the season and the 39th of an accomplished Cup Series career.

A short track statement

Richmond's tight, high-banked oval rewards precision over raw speed, and Logano's team timed their strategy calls to perfection as the laps wound down, holding off a hard-charging field in the closing stint.

The win adds another data point to Logano's playoff résumé as the field heads toward the postseason cutoff, reinforcing his reputation as one of the sport's most dangerous closers on short tracks.
