NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) — It was always in the back of Joey Logano’s mind: the streak.The three-time season champion had won at least one race in each of his previous 14 seasons racing in the NASCAR Cup Series entering this past weekend, the longest such streak among active drivers and just five behind the late Kyle Busch’s record of 19.He desperately wanted it to continue.But as the weeks passed and the races came and went, Logano and the Team Penske No. 22 Ford team found themselves in search of speed — and their first victory of the 2026 season.Twenty races, no wins.Logano said doubt was beginning to creep in, as he found himself outside the cutline in the Chase for the Championship. (Only 16 drivers qualify for the playoffs, and he was 17th.)As for winning a race? Well ...“You start to wonder, am I going to have a chance this year to capitalize and (win) one?” Logano said.
Logano unstoppable at NWSIt turns out all Logano needed to regain his swagger was a trip to what he calls his “best track.”Logano dominated the field Sunday night to extend his streak to 15 straight seasons with a win at North Wilkesboro Speedway, where he destroyed the competition in the All-Star race two years ago.It ended a brutal drought of 45 starts without a win.
