Joey Logano put himself in the best position to capture his second Cup Series championship by securing pole position for the final race of the NASCARPlayoffs season at Phoenix. His Championship4 rivals will start fifth, 17th and 25th. Full report ⬇️

The Team Penske Ford driver posted an average lap speed of 134.389mph to edge his team-mate Ryan Blaney for the top spot in Sunday’s title race.

“I thought I over-cooked it a little bit in the entry to 1, which I did the first time,” said Logano, who had lapped second-fastest in Group qualifying behind Chase Briscoe. “We’ve been preparing for several weeks and qualifying was something we talked about a lot and also the race,” he said.Motorsport Images
