Will Power wins the final race of the INDYCAR SERIES doubleheader weekend in Houston on the 1.68-mile street circuit constructed around NRG Park (formerly Reliant Park).

The second series race of the “Double Down in H-Town" doubleheader weekend begins with a standing start and Power takes the green flag from ninth place on the grid. It takes Power just one lap to make his way past three cars in the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet and up to sixth place in the running order. Power continues his march forward and by lap 11 he is running in second place. On a lap 40 race restart, Power passes Scott Dixon, who won the opening race of the weekend, in Turn 3 on the tight street circuit. Power leads the next 51 laps to capture the checkered flag, winning ahead of Dixon in the 90-lap race that ends under caution.

Joey Logano wins the rain-delayed Bank of America 500 NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

After heavy rain on Saturday night postpones the race until Sunday, Logano takes the green flag from third place on the starting grid in the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford. Logano quickly moves up to second place and he never runs lower than fifth throughout the 500-mile race. The No. 22 Ford takes the lead on lap 77 when the cars in front of Logano head to pit lane for their scheduled stops. Logano remains on track to pursue a different pit strategy and fast stops by the No. 22 crew throughout the race allow their driver to remain at the front of the field. Logano leads 227 of 334 laps overall as he edges Kevin Harvick by just .703 of a second for the victory that locks the No. 22 Ford team into the Round of 8 in the Chase for the Cup Series title. It marks the first of three consecutive series wins for Logano and the Shell-Pennzoil Ford team.
