LOUDON, N.H. – Joey Logano punched his ticket to the “Contenders Round” of the 2014 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup on Sunday with victory in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. While he celebrated, Team Flowmaster Drivers took the rest of the top-five spots.

Logano joins Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski (Chicagoland winner) as the two drivers locked into the second round of the 2014 Chase that begins on Oct. 5 at Kansas Speedway. A four-tire pit stop 56 laps from the end buried Logano in the field; but fresher tires, savvy driving and a rash of cautions late in the race gave him the shot he needed.

“Todd (Gordon, crew chief) put four tires on it and at this point I thought he was crazy because we came out 16th,” said Logano. “I was like, ‘well, let’s just try to salvage something out of this’. Before I knew it I was sitting third.

“Todd gave me a really good car that I can be aggressive with on restarts,” said Logano on a restart with 30 laps remaining that gave him the lead. “We’ve seen it time and time again with these Sprint Cup races that it’s most likely going to come down to a late-race caution, so you’ve got to be able to execute the restart and the first five laps around traffic.”

Logano negotiated the final laps flawless and rolled to his fourth win of the season.

Team Flowmaster Driver and rookie of the year candidate Kyle Larson backed up his third-place run last week at Chicago with a runner-up finish Sunday. Kevin Harvick, Jamie McMurray and Jimmie Johnson completed the top five.

Flowmaster is the Exclusive Performance Exhaust of NASCAR and many of the top teams in the sport have the company’s decal on the side of their car. Team Flowmaster Drivers have won 19 of the 28 races this season as well as the Sprint Unlimited and the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. Fourteen of the 16 drivers in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup are Team Flowmaster Drivers.
