00:00Welcome to the championship for Joey Logano and team penske.
00:09Very familiar surroundings for them winning in Las Vegas.
00:13Joey showing why he's one of the most clutch drivers in the NASCAR cup series.
00:18Paul Wolfe showing why he is one of the best strategists on pit road.
00:24They didn't have the fastest car but that didn't matter because Logano is going to race for a championship in Phoenix.
00:33How intense was that final run behind the wheel, Joey?
00:36We do some fuel mileage stuff, don't we?
00:38Holy cow.
00:39Yes, you can.
00:40What an incredible turn of events here last week.
00:44What a very fast Pennzoil Mustang.
00:47We had the jail kids crew here today and a lot of kids rooting us on.
00:50It was really special to win in front of them again.
00:52Hey, to my kids at home, I wish you guys were out here.
00:55We're going to the championship four again.
00:57I don't know if it deals with the even year thing but maybe it's real.
01:00Thanks to the fans out here.
01:02Thanks for making great fuel mileage, great calls by Paul.
01:06Making sure she's full.
01:08Giving me the good info I need to save fuel and keep the lead that we needed to.
01:13Boy, we're going racing again.
01:15What an incredible situation, man.
01:18I'm so blessed.
01:19Take me behind the wheel.
01:21How important did you have to be during that run, saving fuel, keeping pace and
01:25knowing the 20 was catching you very fast?
01:27Coleman up there in the spotter stand working with Paul and our engineer,
01:31shaggy, and Joe back at home.
01:34Everybody does a good job at just feeding the info that I needed.
01:38You got to go at the right pace to make sure you get in front of the 99 but not,
01:42you know, get to where the 20 was going to catch me.
01:45So just an incredible day.
01:48Like I said, it takes the whole team to do the fuel mileage stuff.
01:51It's not just the engine or the engineers or the driver or the spotter.
01:54It takes all of us together to do it.
01:56So total team win.
01:57We may not have been the fastest car today but we were a solid top five car
02:02and being able to maximize it at the end.
02:04They found a way once again.
02:06Joey Logano in the championship four.
