Joey Logano achieved an impressive victory in Nashville by effectively conserving fuel during the race. The NASCAR Cup Series event in Nashville last Sunday featured five notable restarts that went into overtime. The Penske team driver, who has already won the championship twice, took advantage of the situation to secure the victory. This win solidified his position in the playoffs, which is remarkable considering the somewhat disappointing performance he had this season compared to his usual high standards.
A veteran from Joe Gibbs Racing discussed Logano’s impressive victory on a podcast called Action Detrimental. He highlighted the advantages Logano had by running slowly during the final stretches of the race and being positioned outside the top ten when the race was supposed to end. These circumstances worked in Logano’s favor and helped him secure the victory.
The veteran also praised the No:22 team for their excellent fuel-saving strategy. Logano managed to run over 100 laps after the last pit stop, which was a testament to the team’s skillful fuel consumption management. The team manager made a wise decision by instructing Logano to save fuel for the green and white flag race.
In addition, the veteran mentioned that Logano was not the only driver saving fuel until the end. However, everything fell into place for Logano, allowing him to triumph over a highly competitive field on Sunday.
Logano and his team created their own luck by implementing a successful fuel strategy, which ultimately led to the crucial victory. It will be intriguing to see how the rest of the season unfolds for them as they continue to progress.
