Here are some notes from the past NASCAR racing weekend that you may have missed.
Youngest Top-3 Finishers in NASCAR History:
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.
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." (Jayski)
Roush Yates Engines Captures 100th win:
Sunday's win by Joey Logano at Michigan is the 100th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points win for Roush Yates Engines.
Roush Yates Engines was formed after the 2003 season when Jack Roush and Robert Yates decided to merge their engine operations. In its first season, the new organization swept the front row in qualifying for the 2004 Daytona 500 and won the series championship later that year with driver Kurt Busch.
A total of 14 different drivers have won at least one series race since RYE opened for business. (Jayski)
