NASCAR Cup Series

JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion (FINISHED 4th) – “Unfortunately, we didn’t win and that’s what we wanted to do. We had a fast Shell/Pennzoil Ford that led a lot of laps, so I’m proud of the laps we led. We had a few good runs and made an adjustment that just took it out of the track and by the time we got it back we lost too much track position. We had a bad pit stop under green and lost more there, so it was too little, too late. We couldn’t redeem ourselves after a couple mistakes tonight.”

Only nine months removed from suffering a broken right leg and left foot in an accident at Daytona, Kyle Busch won at Homestead-Miami Speedway to capture the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. The title is the first for Busch and Toyota.

On lap 47, Clint Bowyer bounced off Sam Hornish Jr. exiting turn 2. He over corrected, slid up the track, clipped Dale Earnhardt Jr. and sent him into the inside wall. Both drivers took their cars to the garage with Bowyer unable to continue on.

After an hour delay by rain, track drying is almost complete as of this post's publishing and we're set to crown a champion at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The start of the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway is currently on hold due to down-pouring showers. A line of showers is passing over the track at the moment as one would expect in Florida.

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AXALTA CHEVROLET SS - TELL US HOW PRACTICE WENT, YOU WERE FASTEST OF THE FOUR: “The very first run that final practice was great. I felt really good about it. We’ve got a few things on the longer run that I felt like we can work on. The second run was so/so. The track definitely lost some grip. I think we have a good indication what the track conditions are going to be like in the race, so that is all really valuable information that we can put into our database and make adjustments and hopefully good decisions for tomorrow.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M’s Crispy Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How would you describe your 2015? “I don’t think tomorrow is going to be near as hard as what it was back in March or April going through the therapy and everything trying to get all of that done and everything to get my strength back and to get back walking and all of that stuff."

Ford Performance and Ford Chip Ganassi Racing announced that Ryan Briscoe, Richard Westbrook, Dirk Müller, and Joey Hand will be the driver lineup for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2016.

Joey Logano topped the final practice session of 2015. The driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 30.786 and a speed of 175.404 mph.

The underdog is a position that Truex is fully embracing and understands, as he understands why his fellow competitors, as well as the media and fans, have given him that label. It's also something that team General Manager Joe Garone is fully embracing right now.
