The #22 car began the first overtime attempt in seventh place and rose to first by the end of the fourth – maintaining position in final overtime.

But it nearly wasn’t to be for the American – who stumbled across the line after running out of fuel late on.

How close did Joey Logano come to failing to finish?

Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott and Kyle Busch were all tangled up in incidents, with the former crossing the line in eighth place.

The result means that Larson is now the sole leader of the Cup Series, 20 points ahead of Chase Elliott.

Speaking about his race, Joey Logano iterated how close he came to failing to finish the race.

“I know into 3, my fuel light came on, and it stumbled across the line, so that was definitely all of it,” said Logano.

“But I’m so proud of this Shell/Pennzoil Mustang team. It’s been a stressful few weeks trying to get into the playoffs, and being able to win here is huge for our season. It felt great to get that.”
