Joey Logano mistakenly stayed out on the track during the final caution of Sunday’s race at Las Vegas. It paid off.
Logano was ahead when a crash happened as the field took the white flag on a two-lap restart to end the race. As John Hunter Nemechek spun and then William Byron hit the wall because of a flat tire, NASCAR threw a caution on the final lap that got Logano the win.
“I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do,” Logano said of the pit call. Per the Fox race broadcast, his crew chief Paul Wolfe told Logano to pit if the drivers ahead of him pitted.
