Joey Logano spins because of flat tire early at Texas (Video)
Joey Logano’s efforts to get to the final round of the Chase got a lot harder in the early laps at Texas.
Logano spun on lap 9 of Sunday’s race thanks to a left rear tire that exploded on the backstretch.
Logano didn’t hit anything but the tire caused a lot of damage to the left rear of his car. Logano’s crew spent three laps under caution repairing the damage and then he took it to the garage after. The team, per NBC, suspected that the tire shredded the cords to his radio.
His best bet to make the Chase now seems like a win at Phoenix. And Kevin Harvick has dominated at the 1-mile track.
“It isn’t about points for us,” Logano said. “Points don’t mean anything right now. It is all about wins. That was our goal today going into the race. The car didn’t take off bad and we were going to get to lap 25 and make some adjustments like everyone else would and I thought we were in the ballpark at least.”
