Brooklyn, Mich. — Joey Logano plopped into a seat, getting a much-needed break, when the 26-year-old driver found out he was just a part of history.

Logano pulled away from the pack to win the FireKeepers Casino 400 and was followed by 20-year-old Chase Elliott and 23-year-old Kyle Larson, the youngest top three in NASCAR Sprint Cup history.

“That’s pretty cool,” he said when informed of the feat Sunday.

The trio’s average age of 23 was younger than the 24.7 of the top three finishers at a race in 1951 and two races the previous year.

“The future of NASCAR is present,” Logano said. “It’s going to be big. It’s amazing to see.”

Logano, the polesitter, moved past Elliott on lap 153 and stayed ahead for the 15th Sprint Cup series victory of his career in the 15th race of a year that has included 10 different winners.

Elliott finished a career-best second but wasn’t in the mood to celebrate because he blamed himself for poor restarts.

“I definitely messed up,” he said. “Putting it in the correct gear would be a good start.”

Larson fell one place short of matching his best performance.

Brad Keselowski was fourth and points leader Kevin Harvick finished fifth at Michigan International Speedway.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished 39th out of 40, is the only winner from 2015 who is winless this year.

IndyCarTexas to Try, Try Again in August

Fort Worth, Texas — After another soggy day in Texas, the IndyCar Series will wait 2½ months before a third try to race.

Only 71 of the scheduled 248 laps were completed Sunday before rain in an approaching thunderstorm hit the track. That was 54 laps short of what was needed to make it an official race after the Firestone 600 had initially been postponed Saturday night.

With a 50 percent chance of more rain today, IndyCar decided to resume the race Aug. 27, which is during what had been an open weekend for the series.

The cars had taken the green flag about 40 minutes later than scheduled Sunday following work to dry the 1½-mile track. The race had first been called off about 11:30 p.m. EDT Saturday after several hours trying to dry the track after afternoon rain.

Formula OneHamilton Cruises in Canada

Montreal — Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, earning his second straight victory.

It was the fifth win on Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for Hamilton and the 45th of his Formula One career.

Hamilton’s Mercedes started on the pole position but Sebastian Vettel jumped in front at the start and led for the first half of the race. After the Ferrari gave up the lead with a pit stop in Lap 38, he spent the rest of the 70 laps trying to catch Hamilton.

The win put Hamilton within nine points of Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, who finished fifth.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” Hamilton radioed in seconds after crossing the finish line. “That was for Ali.”
