Joey Logano held off Denny Hamlin for his first NASCAR Cup Series victory of the season Sunday night in the first points race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in 30 years.  Logano won for the 38th time in Cup races, ending a drought that went back to May 2025 at Texas Motor Speedway.  The 36-year-old Logano extended his streak of winning at least one race to 15 consecutive seasons, the longest streak among active drivers. The late Kyle Busch holds the record, winning in 19 straight seasons (2005 to 2023).  Hamlin finished second, followed by Chase Briscoe, Ty Gibbs and Shane Van Gisbergen.  The Cup Series heads to Indianapolis next week for the Brickyard 400. Bubba Wallace captured his first crown jewel event last year after Austin Cindric blew a tire.
