Fox News
Joey Logano won NASCAR's first Cup Series race on dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway on Monday. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished second in the rain-delayed event.
Logano got a jump on Denny Hamlin on the overtime restart to earn his third career victory at Bristol. But this was not the Bristol of old, the track had been covered with 2,300 truckloads of red Tennessee clay so that NASCAR could add a dirt track to the Cup schedule for the first time since 1970. "How about Bristol on dirt, guys! This is incredible," Logano said to the crowd, a reduced capacity sellout of about 30,000 fans. "There's nothing like winning at Bristol, but putting it on dirt and being the first to do it is very special."More Related News
