Joey Logano had luck on his side when he cycled into the lead on the final round of pit stops just before the rains fell on the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at Loudon, New Hampshire.

Becomes Youngest Winner in NASCAR History

Logano was declared the winner shortly thereafter as the rain continued to fall.

Logano was nowhere near the fastest car, but as they say, the fastest car doesn’t always win. The race looked like it would come down to a shootout between Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch had the rain held off.

Busch and Truex Tangle

Kyle Busch didn’t make any friends out of Martin Truex Jr or Brian Vickers today. Both drivers blamed Busch for the big wreck on a double-file restart on lap 175. Truex was so angry that he nearly threw his helmet at Busch, but pulled the throw at the last moment.

“Kyle just lost his head like he usually does when something bad happens,” said Truex.

Kyle Points Finger at Junior

But Kyle pointed to the 88 car ahead of Truex – saying Dale Jr spun his tires to cause the wreck.

Dale Earnhardt Jr had one of his best runs, climbing as high as third in the race. I look for Junior to continue to improve and be back in Victory Lane soon. Junior runs well on the superspeedways, and NASCAR is headed to Daytona next.
