Joey Logano made history on Sunday as he clinched his third NASCAR Cup Series championship title after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Championship race at Phoenix Raceway. Logano, driving for Team Penske, held off defending champion Ryan Blaney and secured the season title with a remarkable performance on the track.

Logano’s victory marked his fourth win of the season, with previous wins at Nashville, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. The victory at Phoenix was the cherry on top of an incredible year for Logano, who showcased his defensive driving skills as he fended off Blaney in the final laps of the race.

In a post-race interview, Logano expressed his love for the playoffs and credited his team for their support throughout the season. He highlighted the crucial role played by his spotter, Coleman Pressley, in helping him navigate the race and maintain his lead over Blaney.

The 31-year-old driver’s win at Phoenix marked his second championship victory in three years, having previously won the title in 2018. Logano’s triumph also resulted in a 1-2 finish for Team Penske, marking the first time the organization achieved such a result in the championship.
