Joey Logano didn't make the final round of qualifying for the Brickyard 400 on Saturday, and the No. 22 Ford will roll off the grid from 12th when the race goes green on Sunday, but that doesn't mean the Team Penske driver won't be a contender.

A.J. Allmendinger will start 15th in the Brickyard 400 from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Austin Dillon nearly made the final cut in qualifying on Saturday. Richard Childress Racing had to be happy as the No. 3 car showed a lot of speed at times. His best lap was 0.279 seconds off the time of Tyler Reddick. Even in practice, Dillon ended up in the Top 15 with a time […]
