Logano wins first in New Hampshire

Joey Logano wins in New HampshireJoey Logano scored his first career Sprint Cup Series victory on Sunday after rain soaked New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

"I never would have though I would have won here," said Logano in a post race interview. "We didn't have anything to lose. This is a dream come true!"

Logano's win on Sunday made him the youngest driver to ever win a Sprint Cup Series race.

The 11th caution flag of the day came out on lap 268 with Logano leading the field, but  Logano took the lead with 38 laps to go, after race leader Ryan Newman ran out of fuel and was forced to enter pit lane.

Logano did not appear to be a competitor for the win after he cut the right rear tire on his No. 20 Home Depot Toyota and spun on lap 183.

Though Logano captured the victory, it was Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch that dominated the day.

Gordon and Busch, who finished second and third respectively, had the two strongest cars on the track all day and were running side by side for the lead until green flag pit stops forced them onto pit road.

There were scary moments on Lap 175, just after the restart, when Kyle Busch got into the right rear of Martin Truex Jr. sending him spinning and collecting Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers, David Reutimann, David Ragan, and Jamie McMurray.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a solid run on Sunday after changing crew chiefs over a month ago. Earnhardt Jr. ran solidly in the top 10 most of the race and ended the day in 13th.

NASCAR legend James Hylton reminisces about fellow competitor Tim Richmond

One rarely runs across a person possessed with  a charismatic attraction the magnitude of the late NASCAR driver Tim Richmond. The well-heeled Richmond entered the sport at a time when the vast majority of its drivers were primarily from blue-collar backgrounds. Ever the flamboyant playboy, Richmond stood in stark contrast to the mostly conservative NASCAR drivers of the era.  Richmond lived life just as he drove, flat-out and to the max.  The lasting image of Richmond is at a victory lane party with a trophy in one hand and a beauty queen in the other.
