NASCAR All-Star Race 2016 Results: Winner, Standings, Highlights and Reaction

Joey Logano is $1 million richer after winning his first NASCAR All-Star Race on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Brad Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top three, with Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch completing the top five:

Place	Driver
1	Joey Logano
2	Brad Keselowski
3	Dale Earnhardt Jr.
4	Carl Edwards
5	Kurt Busch
6	Chase Elliott
7	Trevor Bayne
8	Greg Biffle
9	Denny Hamlin
10	Kyle Busch

Logano trailed Kyle Larson with three laps remaining, and Larson looked to be on his way to winning the race. But Larson clipped the wall and fell out of contention, ending up in 16th. Once Larson was out, Logano finished the job and took home the top prize.

NASCAR tweeted this out after Logano crossed the finish line:

Ryan Truex, who was pulling for Larson, was sad when he lost control in the final laps:

Despite noticeable puddles on the road from the ongoing weather issues throughout the weekend, the first of three segments in the race went smoothly and had only one caution of note. For a good portion of the first segment, Kevin Harvick led the pack, though a trip to pit road on lap No. 26 forced him to drop his 3.2-second lead in favor of Kyle Busch.

Busch led for the next eight laps until Logano stormed in front to take the lead. That lasted for 10 laps. A trip to the pits dropped Logano out of first place, which led to Edwards crossing the finish line to conclude the first segment, per Chicagoland Speedway:

Cautions were aplenty in the second segment, including a major wreck with 26 laps to go. Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Matt Kenseth were all involved in the one that drew the most criticism, via NASCAR:

Stewart's last All-Star Race did not end the way he had hoped, and he was noticeably angry afterward, per Jeff Gluck of USA Today:

Charlotte Motor Speedway captured an image of Stewart's car getting towed off the track:

Larson was the one to cross the finish line first in Segment 2. He led the final six laps of the second segment and retained the lead with three laps to go in the race. That's when he scraped the wall, allowing Logano to bypass him and steal the victory.

It was a tough way to lose for Larson, especially after he charged to the top. He had a chance to pull off a stunning win, but that was not the case. Logano raced well and strategically and was deserving of his first All-Star victory.

Post-Race Reaction

Stewart was visibly frustrated at the outcome of the race. Logano, of course, had $1 million reasons not to be angry.

“Awesome race,” Logano said, per Gluck. “I thought it went great.”

Logano thought the race would come down to who would be able to race the hardest between him and Larson, and Larson ended up paying for it in the end.

“He ran me hard, and I had to run him hard, but it’s for a million bucks,” Logano said, per Michael Persinger of the Charlotte Observer.

Nevertheless, Logano was confused at points during the race, due to this new three-segment format.

"I was confused," Logano said, per Bob Pockrass of ESPN.com. "All I know is if there is a car in front of me, I probably should pass him. That's kind of where my head was. It doesn't have to be as complicated as you think it is."

There was also confusion for Kenseth, who was dropped from first to 20th after being penalized for not going to pit road when he needed to.

"I've never been this confused in a race car my entire life," Kenseth said, per Pockrass. "So I hope everybody watching understands because I have no idea what happened ever since the first car pitted. I can't say I don't like [this format]. I don't know what's going on."
