No. 22 Team Penske Showing Major Improvements
Joey Logano and his No. 22 Team Penske crew showed clear signs of momentum, delivering one of their most commanding performances of the season. Logano led an impressive 147 laps, a mark that demonstrated both speed and control throughout the race. While the competition was fierce, his ability to manage long green-flag runs and execute clean pit stops kept him consistently at the front of the field.
A major highlight came during Stage 2, where Logano’s strategy and pace proved untouchable. The victory in that segment added a valuable playoff point to his tally, an asset that could prove crucial as the postseason picture continues to develop. Stage wins not only bolster confidence but also show that a team is capable of being fast at the right times, something Logano and his crew have been striving to put together all year.
What makes this run even more significant is that it reflects a shift for the No. 22 team. Earlier in the season, they struggled with inconsistent finishes and difficulty keeping up with the frontrunners. This race, however, signaled that the adjustments made by the Penske engineers and the crisp execution of the pit crew are beginning to pay dividends.
For Logano, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, hitting his stride as the playoffs loom is critical. His ability to dominate large chunks of the race and secure a stage win indicates the No. 22 team is heating up at just the right moment. If this form continues, Logano could once again be in prime position to challenge for another championship run
