Logano beats Kyle Busch to win first NASCAR Cup race at Gateway

Joey Logano achieved victory Sunday in the first NASCAR Cup Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway, beating Kyle Busch in overtime. Logano's #22 Penske Ford car led 22 of 245 laps in the Enjoy Illinois 300. His second win of the season was the 29th of his Cup career.

Busch finished second in the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, which was 0s655 behind at the checkered flag. His brother Kurt Busch took third place. Ryan Blaney, Logano's teammate, recovered from a spin to finish fourth and Aric Almirola rounded out the top five.

Martin Truex Jr. was sixth in his 600th Cup race. Ross Chastain clashed with two competitors in separate incidents in the first half of the race. Chastain's #1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet put the #11 Joe Gibbs Toyota of Denny Hamlin into the turn 2 wall, leading to a caution on lap 64.

Hamlin continued at a reduced pace, but squeezed Chastain's car on several occasions later to show his displeasure, drawing a reprimand from NASCAR race control.

Chastain then triggered another yellow flag on lap 101 after taking the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy of Chase Elliott into a spin that also caught the No. 23 Toyota of Bubba Wallace. Six laps later, Elliott repeatedly pushed Chastain on the restart until finally passing.

Chastain recovered to finish eighth. Elliott was 21st, and Hamlin - the winner of the Coca-Cola 600 last weekend - was 34th, 11 laps behind.

Chase Briscoe started from pole position and led the first 27 laps until his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford had a flat tire. He lost a lap after a pit stop and finished 24th.
