| Logano now 8 for 18 in NNS |
Logano passed leader Brad Keselowski after a two-tire pit
stop with 15 laps remaining to claim his eighth victory of the season in just 18
Nationwide starts. He initially second-guessed crew chief Adam Stevens’
decision to take tires on the final stop, but later admitted it was the correct
call.
“Thank God he doesn't listen to me sometimes," said Logano
in Victory Lane. "He's smarter than me. He knew how much time two tires
were going to pick us up. I wondered why at the time, but he has these things
planned out."
Keselowski’s bid for victory fell short when his team
failed to get enough gasoline in his tank on a final pit stop with nine laps
remaining. He slowed on the track in a last-ditch attempt to save fuel, but was
forced to pit again and finished 18th. Kevin Harvick finished second Friday,
followed by Sadler, who increased his championship lead to 13 points over
defending Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., who finished seventh. Kyle Busch was fourth,
with Denny Hamlin fifth.
Title contender Austin Dillon finished sixth, and trails
Sadler by 25 points.
"Anytime you gain points, it’s a good night," said
Sadler.
