Joey Logano dominated the NASCAR All-Star Race by leading 199 of 200 laps and held off Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson to win the event and take home $1 million. Choosing to use softer option tires instead of durable prime tires at North Wilkesboro Speedway paid off for Logano as he beat Hamlin by 0.636s at the finish line. This victory marked Logano’s second All-Star Race win and the fifth for Team Penske, with previous wins by Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, and Ryan Blaney. Although winless in NASCAR Cup Series points events this season, Logano expressed joy and gratitude for the speed and performance of his Shell/Pennzoil Mustang. Kyle Larson also made headlines by racing in both the Indianapolis 500 and the All-Star Race on the same day, showcasing his versatility as a driver.
