Joey Logano led 323 of the 450 laps—a personal best—to secure NASCAR’s first points‑paying Cup win at North Wilkesboro since Jeff Gordon’s triumph three decades ago.
He finished 0.859 seconds ahead of Denny Hamlin, who paced a trio of Joe Gibbs Racing entries with Chase Briscoe in third and Ty Gibbs fourth. Shane van Gisbergen matched his career‑best oval result in fifth, also leading more laps than ever before on an oval circuit (49 total).
Logano also captured Stage 2, while Ty Gibbs snatched Stage 1 with a last‑lap pass on van Gisbergen.
Of the 37 starters, 34 reached the finish, but only six remained on the lead lap. Chad Finchum, Josh Berry, and A.J. Allmendinger were the sole retirements in an otherwise clean event.
The victory raises Logano’s career total to 38 wins, moving him into sole 23rd place on NASCAR’s all‑time wins list.
