nascar sprint cup chase talladega joey logano wins four drivers eliminated

Joey Logano won his second consecutive Talladega race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. But this one was strange and surprising.

The biggest surprise was who helped Logano win the final three-lap sprint to the checkered flag. It was Brian Scott, a rookie and an afterthought all season. Yet there was Scott, going off the on the final restart alongside Logano.

"it's never a layup here at Talladega," Logano said in a radio interview.
