Joey Logano Clinches NASCAR Championship Berth After Rival's Disqualification
Joey Logano became the first driver to clinch a spot in NASCAR's championship finale after Alex Bowman's car failed post-race inspection, leading to his disqualification from the playoff field. Logano seized the opportunity and won the race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, securing his place in the winner-take-all final four at Phoenix Raceway next month. Four other drivers are currently above the cutline, while Denny Hamlin, Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney, and Chase Elliott are below the elimination mark with two races remaining in the round. Up next, NASCAR moves to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the middle race of the round of eight.
