Logano wins Sunday's Sprint Cup race

LOUDON, N.H., June 28 (UPI) -- Rookie Joey Logano won Sunday's rain-shortened Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at Loudon, N.H., becoming the youngest driver ever to win a Sprint Cup race.

The 19-year-old native of nearby Middletown, Conn., was the only driver not to pit during a round of green-flag stops and was declared the winner when rain forced NASCAR officials to end the race at the New Hampshire International Speedway with 28 laps remaining in the scheduled 301-lap event.

Logano had just overtaken Ryan Newman, who ran out of fuel and coasted into pit road.

Jeff Gordon (Chevrolet), Kurt Busch (Dodge), David Reutimann (Toyota) and Tony Stewart (Chevrolet) completed the top five finishers.

The race was marred by a temper-filled eight-car crash on Lap 175 involving -- among others -- Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Martin Truex Jr. -- who seemed to blame Busch for the incident.

"I don't know what Kyle was thinking out there," Truex told The Charlotte Observer.

Stewart (2,524) holds a 69-point lead over Gordon (2,455) in the latest Sprint Cup standings.
