Joey Logano wins the 2014 Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway

With Joey Logano winning and Brad Keselowski finishing second, Team Penske reigned supreme Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway.

On a night when several contenders were befallen by various issues Logano and Keselowski avoided trouble and stayed near the front incident-free. The win was Logano’s third of the season, tying him with Keselowski, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson for series-best.

“This is awesome,” Logano said. “I’ve never won more than one race in a season and now I’ve won three.”

Matt Kenseth finished third, followed by Johnson in fourth and Kurt Busch fifth.

“I was swinging for the fences and came up one spot short,” Keselowski said. “Joey just ran a great race. We got a little better in the last run. Our Ford Fusion was about as equal to Joey’s but I just couldn’t get past him. A Penske 1-2 is really something to be proud of.”

Logano completed the winning pass moving by Kenseth with 45 laps to go. But on older tires than Logano and Keselowski, Kenseth, who won this race a year ago but is winless in 2014, was unable to keep pace with the Penske teammates.

“Overall it was a good night,” Kenseth said. “I didn’t quite feel like we had the speed we needed to win the race tonight, but we tried our best to put ourselves in position to do it and ended up with a decent finish.”

Nine cautions slowed the race for 64 laps. The most notable accident occurred on Lap 161 when Kevin Harvick wrecked Denny Hamlin as the two were racing for the lead. Attempting to pass Hamlin exiting Turn 4, Harvick washed up into the rear of Hamlin’s car sending him spinning into the pit wall and then back onto the track where he collided with Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Following NASCAR’s new edict that drivers stay in their car after a wreck, Hamlin waited for safety workers to arrive before exiting. He then walked towards the racing surface to throw his head-and-neck restraint device at Harvick. NASCAR said Hamlin would not be reprimanded.

“I just wish I had some kind of car left so I could show him the favor back,” Hamlin told ABC/ESPN. “We’re not even halfway -- we’re racing for the lead. ... It was a misjudgment. He’s a good driver, he knows better. He just made a mistake.”

Hamlin wasn’t the lone challenger to suffer a setback. Harvick and Johnson (twice) incurred pit road speeding penalties, as did early race leader Kyle Busch. While Harvick and Johnson recovered, Busch became entangled in a multi-crash on Lap 126 trying to recoup track position.

Needing a victory to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, Kasey Kahne led once for 40 laps. His night came unhinged, however, when a loose wheel necessitated an unscheduled pit stop.

Kahne finished 35th, falling 33 points behind Greg Biffle for the final playoff spot with two regular season races remaining.
