Joey Logano could have an opportunity to win a second Cup Sequence title.

Logano led the ultimate 44 laps of Sunday’s race at Kansas to beat Kevin Harvick to the checkered flag and safe his spot within the winner-take-all race for the championship at Phoenix on Nov. 8.

It positive appeared like Harvick had a sooner automobile than Logano over the ultimate 30 laps of the race. However the high-downforce guidelines that NASCAR has applied at intermediate tracks create numerous soiled air. And that soiled air appeared to have an effect on Harvick every time he would get near Logano’s automobile.

“Soiled air was the very best for us,” Logano mentioned after getting out of his automobile. The one variable that appeared to have an effect on the battle between the 2 drivers was lapped site visitors within the ultimate laps. However Logano navigated it deftly and by no means gave Harvick a gap to get actually shut.

And every time Harvick would get inside a automobile size or so on the straightaway he would seemingly push Logano’s automobile ahead slightly than pull up additional for a passing alternative.

“Joey’s blocker,” Harvick mentioned. Logano did a incredible job of taking Harvick’s line away within the corners to deprive him of air that wasn’t turbulent.
