Race recap
Logano Outlasts Briscoe at Richmond for Second Win of 2026
How Joey Logano won the NASCAR Cup Series at Richmond
Joey Logano took the checkered flag at Richmond Raceway, leading 95 laps after starting 10th to secure his second win of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. Chase Briscoe dominated early, pacing the field for 171 laps from the outside pole, but settled for second. Austin Cindric charged from 23rd to finish third, while Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott rounded out the top five. Logano's No. 22 Ford crossed the line on the lead lap, earning 73 points and strengthening his playoff positioning.
The decisive moment
Logano's decisive edge came in laps led versus starting position: he started 10th but led 95 laps, while polesitter Ryan Blaney led 88 laps and faded to 13th, one lap down. Briscoe's race-high 171 laps led ultimately fell short as Logano's late-race command sealed the win.
What the result means
Logano's second victory of 2026 moves him to ninth in the standings with 659 points, 310 behind the leader. The win adds crucial playoff insurance and momentum as the series heads toward the postseason, while Briscoe's runner-up reinforces his consistency.
