Joey Logano’s chances of a second victory of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season vanished during overtime of the Cookout 400 at Richmond International Raceway on Sunday.
Logano battled with Austin Dillon for the lead going into the final corner, and it looked like Logano would take the win, but Dillon made contact with Logano, sending him spinning into the wall, and Dillon also made contact with Denny Hamlin, sending Hamlin into the wall.

“I get it, I hit it and I got away. I got it. I wasn’t even backing around the corner. He came in there and ran past me. It’s ridiculous that we raced like that. I can’t believe it.”

Dillon became the 13th driver to win a race this season and clinch a playoff spot with just a few races remaining.
“I don’t like to do that, but sometimes you have to,” he said.
