NASCAR South Point 400 results: Logano gets lucky in DRAMATIC Las Vegas finish

An incredible finish at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway saw Joey Logano into the final four of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, beating playoff rival Christopher Bell by just fractions of a second – having only escaped elimination last weekend thanks to a late penalty on Alex Bowman.

The drama began early, with a multi-car wreck seeing last week's playoff comeback hero Tyler Reddick flip his #45 car over and out of the race and last eight driver Chase Elliott suffer damage which effectively ended his race as a challenger.

Ryan Blaney, already driving a backup car after wrecking the #12 in practice, suffered toe link damage and finished a handful of laps down, meaning that nearly half of the playoff drivers picked up minimal points – although Blaney giving team-mate Joey Logano a push in the dying stages may have been decisive in the race result.

Logano's win leaves just three spots left for the final shootout in Arizona, with Bell, Kyle Larson and William Byron currently in pole position.
