​Joey Logano’s Kansas race began from the pole but ended with a disappointing 20th-place finish. Rain canceled qualifying, placing the Team Penske driver first through NASCAR’s performance metric after his victory at Bristol one week earlier.Logano remained competitive during the opening stages, finishing sixth in Stage 1 and eighth in Stage 2. A slow pit stop during the final portion of the race cost the No. 22 Ford valuable track position, and Logano was unable to recover before the checkered flag. In fact, a flat tire ruined his day even more in the final laps.The stage points helped Logano collect 25 points despite the poor finish, but his championship position suffered dramatically. Logano dropped to fourth in the Chase standings with 2,215 points, 67 behind Kyle Larson. He entered Kansas only 16 points back, meaning Larson gained 51 points on Logano in a single afternoon.This article originally appeared on Motorsports Wire: Joey Logano loses Chase points after flat tire at Kansas in 2026
