The first title came in 2018 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Las Vegas. Logano began Sunday on the pole in the No. 22 Team Penske Ford. Although 36 drivers started, just four, including Ross Chastain, Chase Elliott, Christopher Bell and Logano, were eligible for the series title after a playoff whittled the field down from 16.

Chastain finished third, Bell 10th and Elliott 28th. Logano and his team were undeniably the best all day at Phoenix. The 32-years-old racer led 188 of the race's 312 laps. Not only that, but he was the top title-contending car for all but one of the race's green-flag laps.

As said earlier, it is the second time Logano has won the title of the NASCAR Cup series. So, let's take a look at his first winning.
