History was made in the NASCAR Cup Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway as a two-time champion managed to win his second title in three years and join an elite fraternity of NASCAR Champions. Joey Logano behind the wheel of his Ford dominated much of the third stage and held off Penske teammate, and 2023 Cup Champion Ryan Blaney for his third Cup Championship joining nine other drivers all time. Logano had a nondescript regular season finishing well outside of tenth place in the points but found the winning touch in the Playoffs winning three times (only Kyle Larson won more than once besides him) including the first race of the round of 8, then, of course, the Championship 4 race on Sunday to win him the Cup. This is also Logano's third Sportsman of the Week title, but first in 6 years when he won his first championship in 2018. His first was a Daytona 500 victory three years earlier This puts Logano tied for the most Sportsman of the Week ever with a lot of career in front of him. We'll look forward to next year, but for now Joey Logano is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
