Joey Logano came away with a 14th-place finish Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway as the No. 22 team rallied back from a lap down in Stage 2 to pick up a top-15 result. Logano took the green flag from 12th and worked his way into the top-10 during the opening run before starting the first green flag pit cycle of the 400-mile event on lap 32. The Shell-Pennzoil Ford cycled back into the 10th spot during the ensuing run and maintained the position through the end of Stage 1. As Logano was exiting his pit stall following a four tire stop during the stage caution, the No. 21 made contact with the right front of the No. 22, sending him spinning towards the inside wall of pit road. The No. 22 assessed the damage immediately after as Logano drove back to his stall before an additional stop prior to the restart saw him take the green flag from the tail end of the field. Due to his track position, Logano was forced to stretch the ensuing run longer than the leaders, resulting in losing a lap after hitting pit road on lap 127. Logano ultimately fought his way into the free pass position by the end of the second segment and rejoined the lead lap prior to restarting the final stage. Logano worked his way back into the top-15 with under 50 laps remaining before taking the checkered flag 14th to cap off the afternoon.

“A hard-fought day for us – especially after having to work our way back from going down a lap in the second stage. It felt like we had top-10 speed once we got back into a rhythm towards the end of Stage 2 but just didn’t have enough laps left to make back the track position down the stretch.”
