RICHMOND, Va. — Joey Logano smiled as if he’d stolen something and got away with it, and that wasn’t far from the truth.

Logano passed distracted and dominant Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski on one restart and then pulled away on another with about 20 laps to go to win the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway on Sunday.

“We were just fast enough to break through and kind of steal a win,” Logano said. “We were in the lead when the caution came out there and we looked like we were in pretty good shape. I don’t know if you’d call that stealing. We were able to just do what we know how to do.”

Logano had to start 37th after making a transmission change. He grabbed the lead when Keselowski had to make a defensive move to keep Kyle Busch from passing him.
