The NASCAR Cup race at Texas unraveled in the final stage with several twists and turns at the sharp end of the running order. But when the smoke cleared, it was Joey Logano (who started 27th) taking the race win. Ross Chastain, who started even deeper in the field (31st), ended up as the runner-up.
Logano got the lead in dramatic fashion with just four laps to go. Hanging on with two older left-side tires, Michael McDowell blocked Logano all the way to the apron as he tried to snag a win for the underdogs. The always-aggressive Logano never lifted and McDowell relented before corner entry, giving him the inside line and the race lead.
