The jackpot for Logano and Team Penske in Las Vegas

There's no than in Supercars where the Team Penske shone last weekend. Roger Penske's team scored a nice double last night on the Las Vegas oval (Nevada), for the third round of the Nascar Cup Series 2019.

Victory went to Joey Logano, who retained the advantage in the final moments of the event over his teammate Brad Keselowki, over whom he had taken the advantage on the 244th of the 267 laps of the race.

Keselowski's final assault was of no use, with Logano winning for the first time in 2019, a season where the Team Penske resident defended his title acquired last year. A little nod to the statistics: with his first success in Las Vegas, Logano offers himself his 22nd career Victory Lane... like the number 22 of his new Ford Mustang.

“What a great race, admits the winner of the day. Brad and I were so close, and you couldn't get ahead of yourself. In the last five or six laps, Brad was catching me so fast, and I got stuck behind a lagging car. It was so tight. »

Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing – Toyota), in contention for a hat-trick in the weekend's races on his home meet, fails in third position and precedes Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing – Ford), started from pole, and the first Chevrolet Camaro of Kurt Busch (Chip Ganassi Racing).

Note that this was the first real release of the new 2019 packages, offering more downforce and less power.
