Logano: We show up when it matters most

"I've got the best team," Logano told the media after the race.

"I don't know if I'm the best driver, but I've got the best team and together we're very well-rounded and can show up when it matters the most.

"We've got a mentally tough team that can make things happen when it matters."

Looking back on the race overall, Logano reflected on how special picking up a third championship was.

"I love the playoffs," Logano exclaimed. "I love it, man. What a race!

"What a Team Penske battle there at the end. Had a good restart and was able to get in front of the #12. He had a lot of long-run speed there, and it was all I had there to hold him off.

"Man, three of them, that's really special to get that. What a team."
