LAS VEGAS — Joey Logano has held off teammate Brad Keselowski to win a clean, exciting NASCAR Cup Series race in Las Vegas.

    

Logano drove his Team Penske Ford to his 22nd career victory and his first of the season, narrowly answering Keselowski's last-lap passing attempt down the stretch.

    

Logano had never won a Cup race in Vegas in 11 tries during his first 10 full-time seasons, although he won an Xfinity Series race here in 2017.

    

Kyle Busch finished third, unable to recover from a mid-race speeding penalty in the hometown driver's quest for the third three-race weekend sweep in NASCAR history.

    

Pole-sitter Kevin Harvick was fourth, and Kurt Busch finished fifth for the Las Vegas native's first top-five finish at his home track since 2005.

    

The first race under NASCAR's full new rules package produced a caution-free event with some exciting action up front, including a couple of wild restarts after the two segments.
