Joey Logano Finishes Third in the 2026 Daytona 500
In the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Joey Logano finished third after starting the race from the same position. The No. 22 Team Penske Ford driver competed for the lead through most of the first stage and led nine laps. Before the end of the first stage, Logano and his team decided to pit for fuel and tires, making him finish the stage in 29th. In the second stage, Logano took most of the stage to recover towards the front, but he would be caught in the 20-car wreck on lap 124. Although he was damaged, he still ended the second stage in ninth, scoring two stage points in the process. In the final stage, Logano kept quietly riding in the pack until the very last lap. The Penske driver avoided the first wreck on the final lap between Carson Hocevar, Erik Jones, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to run inside the top 10. Then, as he caught up with the leaders, they crashed again in front of Logano. Although the No. 22 driver couldn't avoid the second wreck, he crossed the finish line in third while being damaged. This was Logano's first top-5 finish at Daytona since 2023 and is considered one of the top favorites to compete for the win as a former winner at EchoPark Speedway next weekend.
