Joey Logano followed up his Team Penske teammate Austin Cindric's first win of the season a weekend ago at Talladega Superspeedway with a first win of the 2025 season of his own in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway.
RESULTS: Wurth 400 at Texas
Logano, who started 27th in the race, came to life in the closing laps, made a daring pass on Michael McDowell for the lead on Lap 264, and held off Ross Chastain for the win in an Overtime finish. With the win, Logano moved up two spots in the regular-season championship standings and now sits ninth after Texas.
William Byron, who carried a 31-point lead in the championship standings after a third-place finish last weekend at Talladega, leaves Texas Motor Speedway with a much-slimmer 13-point advantage over his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson. Larson racked up 19 Stage Points and finished fourth, while Byron faded to finish 13th after suffering damage on a late-race pit stop.
Here are the complete NASCAR Cup Series championship standings after the Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, the 11th race of the 26-race NASCAR Cup Series regular-season, and 36-race season.
