Joey Logano’s second NASCAR Cup Series title may have actually been clinched when he won the pole on Saturday. Bell was out in 19.8 when a crew member got his hand stuck in the spindle of the left-rear tire. With 17 laps to go, Chastain was in third place, 2.63-seconds behind race leader Logano. Bell was out in 10.4, Chastain in 10.8, Elliott in 10.02 but nobody was faster than Logano’s 9.9-second pit stop to win the race off pit road. Bell’s stop was 10.1, Chastain’s was 10.0, Elliott was in and out in 11.1 and Logano was in and out in 10.2 seconds. The Championship Four at that point were Logano first, Chastain seventh, Elliott 10th and Bell 11th. Bell was in and out in 10.7 seconds, Chastain in 10.5, Elliott in 10.5 and Logano in 11 seconds.
