In the chaotic scramble to the finish, he found himself in fourth when the caution and checkered flags waved. It was just another piece of the crazyRead More

By NASCAR Wire Service FONTANA, Calif. – The best measure of Joey Logano’s dominance in Saturday’s Roseanne 300 at Auto Club Speedway came during one of the rare instances when the driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford didn’t have the lead.

By Seth Eggert, Staff Writer Only one driver has been near perfect in the NASCAR Xfinity Series so far this season, Elliott Sadler. Sadler is the only driver to finish on the lead lap in all three races and score top-five finishes in each as well.
