Shane van Gisbergen Dominates in Charlotte, Joey Logano Advances in the Playoffs
In an exciting race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Shane van Gisbergen secured his fifth consecutive victory on mixed and street circuits. The current Cup champion, Joey Logano, managed to advance to the third round of the NASCAR playoffs, in a tense finish against Ross Chastain. The competition between Logano and Chastain kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Chastain, at risk of being eliminated, found himself in an intense fight. A crash on the last lap with Denny Hamlin left Chastain out of control, crossing the finish line in 21st position, just behind Logano.Hamlin, visibly frustrated, expressed his surprise at not having been informed of the situation on the track, which would have allowed him to make different decisions. The race reduced the group of competitors from twelve to eight. Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell challenged van Gisbergen, but the New Zealand driver maintained his lead position. This triumph eliminated the hopes of Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace, and Austin Cindric to advance in the playoffs. Chastain, on the other hand, remained in contention, despite Logano’s efforts to secure his place.I didn’t know anything about the situation in the last race, I wasn’t very good.

Logano, after a late pit stop to change tires, faced a Chastain who bet on keeping the old tires, which made it difficult for him to advance in the last laps.We are still alive, we are still in the fight!
Joey Logano
Chastain lamented the early penalties that complicated her race, expressing her disappointment at not being able to advance. The eight drivers advancing to the third round of the playoffs are Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson and William Byron, Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe. Chastain, Austin Cindric, Tyler Reddick, and Bubba Wallace were eliminated, taking the cars owned by Michael Jordan out of the title competition.Unforced errors, it’s terrible.
