How the Penske duo bested Trackhouse in NASCAR overtime

Sunday's race evolved into a head-to-head battle between Team Penske and Trackhouse Racing, and as the caution along with a checkered flag waved over the start/finish line, Joey Logano crossed as the winner ahead of Daniel Suarez. But in order to get a full view of how the finish played out, we have to rewind the clock a bit.

On Lap 178 of 260, most of the field came down pit road for the final time. This included Joey Logano, Daniel Suarez, and Ross Chastain. As for Ryan Blaney, his race nearly ended nearly 30 laps later. A mistake from Chris Buescher sent Blaney into the outside wall with 56 laps to go before he slid down the track and into the side of Martin Truex Jr.'s car. Shockingly, the body damage wasn't enough to severely hinder the No. 12 Team Penske Ford. The team did extensive work to the left side and also gave him four fresh tires. (Appropriately, the car was sponsored by 'Dent Wizard' for the race weekend.)
