  "account": "Richmond, Va. (AP) — Joey Logano triumphed over Chase Briscoe to clinch victory at Richmond Raceway in a NASCAR race. The three-time Cup Series champion secured his second win in the past four races, advancing from 17th to ninth in the points standings. With 24 laps to go, Logano seized the lead from Christopher Bell, who had pitted earlier and was attempting to stretch his tires on the abrasive surface of Richmond’s 0.75-mile oval. Logano edged out Briscoe by 0.392 seconds, marking his 39th career victory and third at Richmond.",
