Austin Dillon raced to his first NASCAR Cup Series victory in nearly two years, sending Joey Logano into a spin on the final lap to win in overtime at Richmond on Sunday night.
RICHMOND, Va. --
So the drivers went to overtime, and Logano clearly got the better of Dillon on the restart. Then Dillon came up behind Logano and spun him -- and when Denny Hamlin appeared to be moving past him on the inside, Dillon made contact with him too and sent him into the wall. Dillon appeared on his way to a much less controversial victory after passing Hamlin for the lead with 29 laps to go. This was the first time in a points-paying Cup race that teams had multiple tire options. The"Option" tires were softer, giving drivers a speed boost but less longevity than the"Prime" tires. Teams had only two sets of Option tires for the race.
