The No. 22 Team Penske Ford of Joey Logano has passed post-race technical inspection after winning Sunday’s FanShield 500 at Phoenix Raceway.
Logano’s race-winning No. 22 car was only found with one lug nut not safely secured in a post-race check, but otherwise it was compliant with the 2020 NASCAR Rule Book after the 316-lap event at the 1-mile track in Arizona. His second win of the season and the 25th of his NASCAR Cup Series career are now official after the post-race teardown.

This is the second year of a post-race process to bring a more timely approach to inspection for all three NASCAR national series. Competition officials announced before the 2019 season thorough post-race inspections would take place shortly after the checkered flag at the track instead of midweek at the NASCAR Research & Development Center. Those inspections come with a stiffer deterrence structure that includes disqualification for significant rules infractions.
NASCAR will still inspect cars at the R&D Center as needed to monitor trends and parts compliance. Officials indicated post-race the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet of Kyle Larson would be taken to the R&D Center for further evaluation this week.
