NASCAR Cup Series

ROGER PENSKE: Well, I think the playoffs, obviously with 16 down to four, there was lots of emotion, lots of good racing, and certainly to see it today with all four of them up on that pilon almost all together for the whole 267 laps just shows you how good these guys are and how good the racing is.

Toyota NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs drivers Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch finished second and fourth, respectively, in Sunday’s championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Joey Logano became the eighth different driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship with Ford Performance. It’s the second series title for car owner Roger Penske.

Following a long and winding road, Joey Logano finally owns the biggest prize in motorsports. The driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford capped off a memorable season in fitting fashion – by capturing the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship with a victory in Sunday’s Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Ford Championship Weekend lived up to its name today as Ford claimed both major titles in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Kevin Harvick will be chasing his second career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship on Sunday at Homestead.  After Fridays qualifying, Harvick was not satisfied with his No. 4 Jimmy John’s Ford in qualifying trim.

Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports was part of an OEM press conference this morning at Ford Championship Weekend in which he discussed this season’s success and the possibility of winning two titles in tomorrow’s Ford EcoBoost 400.

KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Jimmy John’s Ford Fusion -- “We’ve just been off as far as getting the front tires to turn today in qualifying trim and that’s all we’ve done. The Jimmy John’s Ford was just plowing tight the first time we went out, chattering the tires. We made it better the second round and then the third round it was just too tight in one and two down there, where we were okay in the first two rounds. We got tight down there and still tight down there, so we’ll go to work on it. We didn’t qualify that good here last year either, so we definitely need to figure out what we’ve got to do in qualifying trim, but hopefully our race stuff is good.”

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Qualifying Position: 1st - What is the secret to qualifying at Homestead? “We made the right adjustments. We kept tuning on it and getting a little better. We got off there in that second round, but just made the right adjustments, I hit my marks and that was it."

HOMESTEAD, FL – All the talk during the weekend is on how the Championship 4 drivers feel about their chances of winning the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship.
