Joey Logano snapped a 45-race winless streak Sunday night with a dominant victory at North Wilkesboro Speedway in the first points race at the 0.625-mile track in 30 years.
Logano’s Dominant Performance
Logano led 323 of 450 laps, and his No. 22 Ford was too dominant for other drivers to catch. Denny Hamlin finished second, followed by Chase Briscoe, Ty Gibbs, and Shane Van Gisbergen.
Logano’s win was his 38th career Cup win and his first since May 2025 at Texas. The 36-year-old Logano also extended his streak of winning at least one race to 15 consecutive seasons, the longest among active drivers.
Impact on the Chase for the Playoffs
Logano’s win moved him inside the cutline in 15th place in the Chase for the playoffs. He entered the race outside of the top 16.
The track, built in 1947, sat mostly dormant for a quarter of a century following its last points race in 1996. Speedway Motorsports undertook the task of refurbishing it, including clearing the weeds and trees growing up through the middle of the racetrack.
