Kevin Harvick, who is one of the four contenders for the title, won Stage 1, while non-championship driver Kyle Larson dominated Stage 2, and with that, the race for the championship gets intense as Kyle Busch lost four places during trouble at the pit stop. Then, Logano out-pitted Truex by a time.
As the climax approaches, caution has thrown as the #19 of Daniel Suarez caught in smoke and the right side slammed against the wall. As the race restarted, Martin Truex Jr. charged but Joey Logano overtook him and continues all the way until Joey Logano got what he wanted; his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship title!
What an unbelievable upset! For a guy who won two races in this season and over twenty in his lifetime career, Joey Logano's dream of becoming the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion come true and that really is a Sunday worth remembering for him and Team Penske.
This season marks the end of the Ford Fusion racecars and for a NASCAR driver like Joey Logano, this is the biggest sendoff ever pulled off and with that championship win, it's a great honor for a Ford driver like him to say goodbye to such machines as the era of the Mustang in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series begins next year.
And that is the end of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. See you next year in Daytona 500!
