WILEY X^® SPONSORED DRIVER JOEY LOGANO WINS EXCITING AUGUST 22 NIGHT RACE AT BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY

Tight Victory at Irwin Tools Night Race Gives Rising Star His Third Win of The 2015 Season, Strengthening His Position in Sprint Cup Standings 

Wiley X^® sponsored NASCAR driver Joey Logano continued his winning ways with a thrilling, .220-second victory in Saturday night’s Irwin Tools Night Race at Tennessee’s Bristol Motor Speedway.  The First Place finish was his third Sprint Cup Series victory of the 2015 season and the 11^th of his young NASCAR career. 

Chasing Logano to the checkered flag on this tight, .533-mile short track was Kevin Harvick^®, also sponsored by Wiley X.  These two drivers have been trading victories throughout this season, in what has been a great 2015 Sprint Cup Series campaign for Wiley X-sponsored racers.  Both now have three wins on the year, and they currently sit #1 (Harvick) and #2 (Logano) in the Sprint Cup Championship Points Standings — virtually guaranteeing they’ll be battling each other at season’s end for the ultimate goal of becoming 2015 Sprint Cup Series Champion. 

In his post-race comments, Harvick credited both the performance of Logano’s No. 22 Team Penske Ford and his aggressive driving for his ability to repeatedly fight off challenges for the lead on this unique short track. With a track like this with very limited straightaways, racers fighting each other for the lead have to contend with a lot of lapped traffic as they battle for the win. 

Fellow Wiley-X driver Carl Edwards fought his way to a 6^th Place finish in the Irwin Tools Night Race, giving Team Wiley X three sponsored drivers in the Top 10. 

“We’re very proud of Joey and the great 2015 season he’s having,” said Wiley X Co-Owner Myles Freeman, Jr.  “He’s a great driver on the track, and an excellent person and role model in everyday life.  We’re proud to be associated with him, and pleased to play some role in his amazing success.  Every time we see Joey, Kevin or one of our other sponsored drivers on the victory stand wearing our glasses, it’s a gratifying and humbling experience that brings joy to our entire company,” added Freeman.
