Logano Gets the Gold But Larson Stole the Show! CONCORD, NC – At the end of a wild and crazy Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Joey Logano got the upper hand in an intense battle with last chance qualifier Kyle Larson and took home the million-dollar prize as the winner of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. While Logano secured the top prize, Kyle Larson milked his car for everything it would give his as he came up a little short of the prize he has been scratching and clawing for these past few weeks. After losing the previous week’s race to Matt Kenseth by racing cleaner than most would have, Kyle was a little more willing to lean on someone to get the gold. Chase Elliott found out in the Sprint Showdown just how willing Larson was to play a little rough when he got squeezed out of a win in the closing feet of the race. To his credit, Chase was a true gentleman in the post-race interview. He didn’t cry or complain about Larson. He just thanked the fans for voting him into the All Star Race and moved on. All night long, in both races, Larson ran strong enough to catch the attention of most of the fans, as we were happy to see the future of our sport in good hands. Look for these this young man in victory lane soon. 8 | American Racing News | NASCAR
