Logano started the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota in the 27th position and spent much of the day adjusting to the changing track conditions as the sun worked its way in and out of the clouds. Logano would race much of the day around the 15th position until an incident on the track with Ryan Newman on lap 148 would send him back a bit as the Home Depot team made repairs to the right front fender of his No. 20 Camry. Crew chief Greg Zipadelli and The Home Depot team continued to make the right calls on pit road and Logano worked his way back toward the front over the final 40-plus laps for a solid 10th-place finish. It was Logano's ninth top-ten finish of the season.
