Start: 1st
Finish: 6th
Joey Logano drove from sixth to the win in his qualifying race to claim the Cometic Gasket Pole for the Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt.
The former Cup Series champion settled into second from the drop of the green flag, but a late restart in the opening stage shuffled him to fourth where he would finish Stage 1.
After a round of pit stops, Logano restarted fourth and ran as high as third in Stage 2 but ultimately settled for fifth when the green-checkered waved.
At the second stage break, the team made chassis adjustments in addition to tires and fuel to gear up for the final stage. Logano restarted 16th after many trucks stayed out and methodically worked his way forward on each restart down the stretch.
When the checkered flag dropped, the veteran driver crossed the line in sixth.
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
