Wurth 400

Joey Logano survived a war of attrition to win the Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, threading his way from a 27th-place starting position through a minefield of wrecks and cautions to claim his first victory of the 2025 season in dramatic overtime fashion. The race was a demolition derby by intermediate-track standards, producing 12 cautions for 73 laps, with five yellows in the final 42 laps alone creating a chaotic finish that reshuffled the running order multiple times. Logano led just seven laps but made them count, beating Ross Chastain to the stripe by 0.346 seconds on the overtime restart for his 37th career Cup victory.

The carnage at TMS was relentless. Pole sitter Carson Hocevar led the opening 22 laps before being swept up in a three-car wreck after a caution interrupted his green-flag pit cycle on Lap 219. Austin Cindric, who had led 60 laps and appeared to be the car to beat, fell victim to a four-car crash on Lap 247. Other notable casualties included Michael McDowell, Kyle Busch, Ryan Preece, and Jesse Love, as the rough racing surface and tight quarters on the 1.5-mile oval took their toll throughout the afternoon. Kyle Larson led a race-high 90 laps but could manage only fourth after the restart chaos.

Logano's victory from 27th on the grid was the farthest back a Texas winner had started since Denny Hamlin in 2010, a testament to his veteran savvy in navigating the carnage and putting his Team Penske Ford in position to strike when it mattered. Chastain's runner-up finish was the best result of his season, while Ryan Blaney completed a Penske 1-3 by holding third. Austin Cindric won Stage 1 and Larson took Stage 2 before the attrition reshaped the final stage into a survival exercise.
