Xfinity race
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — When it comes to the Xfinity Series race at Watkins Glen International, it’s become Penske Racing’s playground now that Marcos Ambrose is no longer around.
After a poor qualifying effort in Sprint Cup, Joey Logano shook off his frustration and won the Xfinity Zippo 200 at The Glen on Saturday, outdueling Penske teammate Brad Keselowski.
Logano, who started from pole, overcame a stop-and-go penalty early in the caution-filled race, drove back to the front, and kept Keselowski at bay after a restart with four laps to go in the 82-lap race. It’s the first road course win of his career, 25th in NASCAR’s second-tier series, and fourth win of the year.
“It’s pretty special as a driver,” said Logano, who led 39 laps, one fewer than his teammate. “You always want to have a road course victory. We’ve been close to winning a lot lately. It feels really good.”
The Penske duo led all but three laps in a race on the 2.45-mile layout that was delayed by seven cautions for 20 laps. Ambrose, who returned to his native Australia after last season, had won the last four Zippo 200s that he’d entered at Watkins Glen, including last year, while Keselowski won in 2013.
Series points leader Chris Buescher was third.
