Logano Edges Into Round of 8 at Charlotte Roval After Wild Final-Lap Twist

Hamlin says he received no points updates from his team, regretting the pass that shifted the cutoff.

Overview

  • Joey Logano claimed the final Round of 8 berth by four points, finishing 20th and 0.167 seconds ahead of Ross Chastain.
  • Crew chief Paul Wolfe’s late call to pit for fresh tires with about 10 laps remaining kept Logano in the fight.
  • On the final lap, Denny Hamlin passed a fading Chastain, who then spun attempting to repass and crossed the finish line in reverse.
  • Hamlin advanced by 33 points and enters the next round as the No. 1 seed in the standings.
  • Chastain’s elimination followed earlier pit-road mistakes, including a speeding penalty, while Logano was booed during his post-race interview.
