NASCAR Texas race winners and losers: Joey Logano finally wins, Kyle Busch crashes again
Joey Logano won the WURTH 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on May 4 at Texas Motor Speedway with a vintage performance, working through the field. Logano, the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion, held off a late charge from Ross Chastain and Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney in overtime to score the 37th win of his NASCAR Cup Series career. Advertisement The tunnel under the surface of turn 4 at Texas caused trouble for several cars with a small bump in the track. That bump caused some drivers to bottom out their cars and spin, including Josh Berry, Kyle Busch and others. Here are the winners and losers from the NASCAR Texas race. L.W. WRIGHT PART 1: The long Talladega con: How L.W. Wright talked his way onto NASCAR's fastest track LEGEND OF L.W. WRIGHT PART 2: The long Talladega con: Could L.W. Wright drive as fast as he could talk? Winners Joey Logano Joey Logano usually finds a way to win races he looks out of at various points. Logano, the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion, started 27th at Texas and meticulously worked his way through the field to get toward the front and kept his cool to get through the big block Michael McDowell threw at him before driving off to win the race in overtime and lock himself into the playoffs. Team Penske Logano's win gives Team Penske its second win in a row, following Austin Cindric's win at Talladega. Cindric also won the first stage of the Texas race to give the team momentum. Of course, Ryan Blaney was running toward the front for most of the final stage at Texas and had a chance to win the race at various points before finishing third. Ross Chastain Ross Chastain charged virtually out of nowhere to earn a second-place finish at Texas for his best of the season. This is Chastain's second top-5 finish and sixth top 10 of the 2025 season. He's still searching for a win to lock himself into the playoffs, but strong showings like he had in Texas will help his cause. Advertisement HOW IT HAPPENED: NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas: Live updates, highlights, leaderboard for WURTH 400 Losers Michael McDowell McDowell was running hard toward the front after a gutsy call for two tires on a pit stop with 46 laps to go. McDowell was leading laps and appeared poised to have a shot to win the race, but he tried to make a big block on Joey Logano and ended up crashing after getting loose exiting turn 2 a lap later. Kyle Busch Kyle Busch finds himself on this side of the list again following a 20th-place finish at Texas. He spun from third place on lap 228 when he was close to contending for a win. He was later caught in a crash with Brad Keselowski, essentially taking him out of the running as his winless streak extends to 68 races, dating back to June 4, 2023, at Gateway. Josh Berry Berry was leading in the second stage of the race and appeared to be pulling away when he ran into lapped traffic with Cody Ware, changing his line and hitting the small bump in turn 4, bottoming out his car and spinning down the frontstretch. Berry was dealt his fourth DNF of the season.

Carson Hocevar wins first career NASCAR Cup pole at Texas
FORT WORTH, Tex.--Ride 'em, cowboy. Decked out in Texas-appropriate attire, Carson Hocevar put his No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet on the pole for Sunday's WURTH 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY at Texas Motor Speedway (3:30 p.m. ET on FS1, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). With the second fastest lap in the era of the Gen 7 car, Hocevar toured the 1.5 mile track in 28.175 seconds (191.659 mph) to edge 2023 race winner William Byron (191.564 mph) for the top starting position by 0.014 seconds. The Busch Light Pole Award is the first of Hocevar's career, and at age 22, he's the youngest-ever pole winner at Texas. Clad in a firesuit designed as a cowboy outfit--courtesy of sponsor Chili's--and sporting a black 10-gallon hat, Hocevar reveled in the moment after his lap stood up to all comers. "Having the cowboy outfit--what better place to be on the pole," Hocevar said. "I'm normally so hard on myself, and I didn't think I nailed that lap at all, but I'm super proud of this team. "I'm so proud, because I've never had the No. 1 pit stall, and I've had a lot of issues with pit road and we've had a lot of bad luck. So I finally get the No. 1 pit stall, and I'm pumped about that." Austin Cindric, last Sunday's Talladega winner, qualified third at 191.523 mph in a closely compacted field. Larson, the last driver to make an attempt, was fourth at 191.421 mph. With 10 drivers to go, Ty Gibbs topped the chart at 191.293 mph, but Michael McDowell, Hocevar's teammate, eclipsed his time by 0.006 seconds in a lap at 191.333 mph. "Obviously, with Michael going out and putting up a really good lap time, I felt like we were faster than him in practice, and that gave me a little bit of confidence that our stuff was going to be as quick, if not hopefully a little quicker," Hocevar said. McDowell will start fifth on Sunday, with Gibbs sixth. Josh Berry, three-time Texas winner Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace and AJ Allmendinger completed the top 10 on the grid. One driver who left the session with regret was Cindric, who felt he could have gone faster. "I feel like I left a pole lap out there," he said. "I sent it into Turn 1 and didn't quite get to the bottom and didn't quite maximize my exit. I guess I can be happy with where we are at, but I definitely feel like you want to do it all. "We're in a great spot for (Sunday) and should have a good pit stall, so I feel good about where we are. We'll try to go get another one." Defending race winner Chase Elliott will start 29th. Note: Since the Gen 7 car was introduced in 2022, only Christopher Bell at Michigan International Speedway in 2023 has run a faster lap than Hocevar at Texas. Bell's speed at the 2.0-mile track was 193.382 mph. --By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service. Special to Field Level Media. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved
