Logano Breaks Through
It was a record setting day in NASCAR as Joe Gibbs Racing’s Joey Logano captured his first victory on the sport’s highest level when he won Sunday’s rain shortened Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at his home track of New Hampshire Motor Speedway and in the process broke his teammate’s record as the youngest winner ever in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Logano battled back from a lap down after he cut down a left-rear tire, and then was able to conserve fuel - after staying out during green flag stops - until the rains came for the historic win.
"This was the opportunity we had and we didn't have anything to lose," Logano said. "Zippy (Greg Zipadelli, crew chief) made a great call. This is a dream come true and this is the best race track that we ever could have had it at."
With the victory, Logano becomes the youngest winner in series history at 19 years, one month and four days.

Robotic Welding Gives Chrysler and Dodge Motorsports a Competitive Edge in NASCAR Car of Tomorrow
Chrysler installed a Fanuc/Lincoln Electric® robotic welding cell to speed up production time and weld quality on the NASCAR Car of Tomorrow (COT) car kits it constructs for its Dodge Motorsports teams. The company realized a 75-percent reduction in production time, which also translated into about a 50-percent cost savings for the teams.
Launched by NASCAR in 2006, the COT is a new universal car design being used by all teams. It is meant to level the playing field, includes improved safety features and provides for more cost effective maintenance.
