In a dramatic end to the Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, Joey Logano executed a daring move to pass Michael McDowell with just four laps remaining, eventually securing his first victory of the 2025 season. Following a controversial disqualification at Talladega, where he lost a top-five finish, Logano was eager to make a comeback.

After navigating through 12 caution flags in a race marked by fierce competition and a challenging track surface, Logano found himself poised to chase down McDowell, who had taken the lead with a risky two-tire pit strategy. This strategy, however, left McDowell vulnerable as Logano closed in.

With a strong surge through the turns, Logano successfully completed the pass, marking his impressive 37th career win. This victory ties him with Hall of Famer Bobby Isaac for 23rd place on the NASCAR all-time wins list. Logano’s successful return to form demonstrates his resilience and skill as he prepares for the rest of the season.

Logano reflected post-race, stating, “This sport changes so quickly. It’s crazy how you can just ride these rollercoasters. We had a really tough pit stall situation, but the pit crew did a good job managing that. Just keep grinding, and eventually, you’ll get a win here.”
