Joey Logano surged from a 27th-place starting position to win at Texas Motor Speedway, claiming his first victory of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. What began as a challenging day turned into a masterclass of racecraft, as Logano and the No. 22 Team Penske crew executed a flawless race plan, capitalizing on late cautions and making bold moves when it mattered most.
The Texas race, known for its high speeds and unpredictable finishes, lived up to its reputation. Logano remained patient through the early stages, steadily working his way through the field. With the aid of a fast car, quick pit stops, and precise restarts, he methodically climbed into contention. When a series of late-race cautions shuffled the leaders and set up a dramatic overtime finish, Logano was ready.
Restarting on the front row with just a handful of laps to go, he powered ahead, holding off a hard-charging field that included defending champion Ryan Blaney and young phenom Tyler Reddick. With nerves of steel and eyes locked on the checkered flag, Logano crossed the line first, breaking a winless streak that had lingered since 2023.
“This team never gave up,” Logano said in Victory Lane. “Starting 27th, you wouldn’t think we’d be here — but we had belief, speed, and heart. That’s what got us here.”
The victory not only marks a crucial momentum shift for Logano’s 2025 campaign but also reaffirms his status as one of NASCAR’s most resilient and strategic drivers. As the playoffs loom closer, this win might be the spark that ignites another championship run for the seasoned racer.
