Joey Logano wasn't in a must win situation Sunday, but the victory in 'Dega sure didn't hurt. Logano, who sat in eighth place before Sunday's Hellmann's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, got the win and clinched his spot in NASCAR's playoff round of eight drivers.

Logano's victory seemed unclear throughout the race after he dragged a tire jack under his car following a pit stop.
