Loser: The No. 22 Team’s Jack

Sometimes interesting things happen in NASCAR. We’ve seen fires on pit road, pit crew members getting hit by cars, tires rolling to the infield and everything in between.

But it’s not often that we see a car leave pit road with a jack still underneath it.

That’s what we saw on Sunday as Joey Logano–who would go on to win the race–left pit road early in the race with a jack still under his car. He was able to drive all the way around the track and make it back to pit road without it coming out and without suffering any damage.

Logano stayed low and out of the way of the rest of the field. His trip down pit road served as his penalty and a chance to get the jack out from under the car.

After that, he was able to get back out on the track and run down the rest of the pack. Fortunately, an issue like that didn’t derail his whole day.
