Joey Logano will attempt to win at Bristol for the third straight August in Saturday's Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race.
The #22 Team Penske driver led the second-most laps in each of his previous two Bristol night race wins. Logano's 76 laps led trailed Jamie McMurray's 178 laps led in 2014, while his 176 laps led trailed Kyle Busch's 192 last season.
Coincidentally, McMurray and Busch both finished eighth. In 15 career starts at Bristol, Logano claims two wins, three top fives and five top 10s. He leads active drivers with a 7.6 average start at the Tennessee track.
Logano has been on a tear lately with six top-five finishes in his last nine starts, including a runner-up finish in the last NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Watkins Glen. The last driver to win three consecutive Bristol Night Races was Darrell Waltrip from 1981-83 (he won a record-tying seven straight Bristol races, overall, from 1981-1984).
