Joey Logano wins first Nascar race at New Hampshire
How cool was it yesterday that Joey Logano got his first Nascar win at New Hampshire when he won the Lenox Industrial Tools 301. He is from that area and had a lot of his family and friends there to see it. Yeah I know he won it because of rain but you know what, it still counts. I don’t want to hear any crap about the rain, a win is a win. Like they say you take them anyway you can get them. Matt Kenseth won the Daytona 500 this year because of rain. I am sure other drivers have had their first win due to rain.
It was a strategy that Joeys crew chief Greg Zipadelli used and it worked. Its no different than taking only 2 tires or gas only to get you out in front of the field. Joey jumped up 3 places in the standings with his win and now sits in 21st spot but is only 57 points from 18th place so thats something to shoot for to get in the top 20.
Kasey Kahne had a good day, he finished 10th and is only one point out of 12th place for the final chase spot. But he is only 16 points out of 10th place, so Kasey is on the verge of moving up big time if he can just keep up the good finishes.
