Joey Logano earns first NASCAR win of 2025 at Texas
FORT WORTH — In the end, it was Joey Logano who avoided crashes and survived NASCAR Overtime at Texas Motor Speedway to score his first NASCAR Cup Series victory of 2025.
Logano outdueled his Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney to earn the win Sunday in the Würth 400, extending his mark of winning in consecutive seasons to 14.
“The sport changes so quickly,” said Logano, whose highest finish prior to the win was eighth at Martinsville. ” It’s crazy how you can just ride these roller coasters and just proud of the team.
“Finally get AAA Insurance into victory lane. They’ve been a partner of mine since I’ve been to Penske, so 13, 14 years. I’ve yet to win with them. It was awesome to get that done here.”
In total, Logano led seven laps en route to the 37th win of his career, tying him with 1970 series champion Bobby Isaac for 23rd all-time on the series’ wins list.
Ross Chastain also picked up his highest finish of the year, scoring the runner-up finish and second Top-5 effort of the year.
“Starting 31st, we wanted to go plus 30 positions today,” Chastain said. “It’s all on this crew – the engineering group at Trackhouse Racing and the group at Chevrolet.”
Blaney finished third, with Kyle Larson — who led a race high 90 laps — and Erik Jones rounding out the Top-5 finishers.
“If I could have kept the lead, we would have been hard to beat in clean air like that. Just a little frustrated with myself, but all-in-all, it was a good points day for us today,” Larson said.
The race featured 12 cautions for 73 laps, with 13 drivers failing to finish.
The next race for the NASCAR Cup Series is scheduled for Sunday, May 11, at Kansas Speedway.
