HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Joey Logano proved that NASCAR's playoff system is about performance late in the year as he turned a one-win regular season into his first career NASCAR Cup Series title.
Logano, who was fifth in the regular-season standings, capped a strong playoff run with two wins in the last four races, including capturing the victory Sunday in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The Team Penske driver took the lead from Martin Truex Jr. with 12 laps remaining for his first win at a 1.5-mile track since an October 2015 victory at Kansas.
