Joey Logano took the checkered flag 24th in Sunday’s EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas – the first of six road course events on the 2025 Cup Series schedule. After starting 23rd, Logano fought a loose-handling condition during the opening run as the 22 team was one of six teams to not pit prior to the stage end, resulting in a second-place finish in Stage 1. Following a four tire stop and a round of adjustments during the stage caution, Logano lined up 28th to take the green flag for the second segment and struggled to gain track position over the course of the run, prompting him to come down pit road with three laps to go in Stage 2 in order to flip track position prior to the start of the final run of the 95-lap event. After the final caution of the afternoon came out with 18 laps to go, Logano took the restart from 11th and raced his way back inside the top-10 as the field came back to the line with 10 to go. The Shell-Pennzoil Mustang was on the receiving end of contact stemming from two and three-wide battles in the closing laps, ultimately relegating Logano to a 24th-place finish.

“It was a challenging day overall. Fortunately we were able to pick up stage points early on and it felt like we were going to be able to compete for a top-10 but anything can happen at the end of these road course races and we were on the wrong side of that today.”
