Joey Logano scored an impressive win in Nashville by effectively conserving fuel during the race. The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series event in Nashville last Sunday featured five notable restarts that went into overruns. The two-time championship-winning Team Penske driver took advantage of the situation to secure the win. The win solidified his playoff position, which is remarkable considering his somewhat disappointing performance this season compared to his usual high standards.
A Joe Gibbs Racing veteran discussed Logano’s impressive win on a podcast called Action Detrimental. He highlighted the advantages Logano had in running slowly during the final stretches of the race and being positioned outside the top ten when the race should have ended. These circumstances worked in Logano’s favor and helped secure the win.
The veteran also praised the No: 22 team for its excellent fuel economy strategy. Logano managed to run more than 100 laps after the last refueling, which was a testament to the team’s skillful fuel management. The team boss made a wise decision in instructing Logano to conserve fuel for the green-and-white flag race.
The veteran also mentioned that Logano wasn’t the only driver who was saving fuel until the end. However, everything fell into place for Logano, allowing him to triumph over a highly competitive field on Sunday.
Logano and his team created their fortune by implementing a successful fuel strategy, which ultimately led to the crucial win. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season unfolds for them as they continue to progress.
