Joey Logano came to Las Vegas Motor Speedway as its most recent winner, and he’ll begin Sunday’s race again at the top of the leaderboard.
Logano captured the pole for the Pennzoil 400 with a qualifying lap of 186.053mph (29.024s). The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion was the only driver to crack 186mph in qualifying en route to earning his second pole at Las Vegas.
“The car was wicked good,” Logano said. “It really just handled well and obviously has really good speed which is wh at you hope for when you get here. You hope you make the right changes and adjustments from the fall when we were here last. Obviously, we were pretty good then but you have to keep evolving and trying things.
“It gets a little nerve-wracking when you try to make these changes that you are married to for the most part when practice starts. I think Paul (Wolfe, crew chief) made some great changes there, some good decisions. Gave me a really fast Pennzoil Mustang today that has good speed in it. Hopefully that transfers to the race tomorrow. I think it will. We have some fine-tuning to do in race trim which we will talk about tonight and try to make some adjustments tomorrow morning.”
