NASCAR – Joey Logano: “A cowardly move”

Last Sunday in Martinsville, Virginia, Jeff Gordon (Hendrick Motorsports – Chevrolet) secured his place in the final of the season at Miami-Homestead (Florida), maintaining the hope of ending his career with a title.

But the other image of this first event of the Eliminator Round of the Chase 2015 will remain the clash between Joey Logano (Team Penske ? Ford) et Matt Kenseth (Joe Gibbs Racing ? Toyota). If Kenseth was already eliminated from the title race since Kansas, following contact with Logano, the Penske driver now finds himself under pressure to qualify for the season finale.

“It was just a cowardly move. Just a complete coward. I have nothing else to say, proclaimed Logano, who could aim for a fourth victory in a row in the Chase. We're not going to give up. We just have to win. » Matt Kenseth, who almost lost his chance in this event after an incident involving him with Brad Keselowski (Team Penske) and Kurt Busch (Stewart-Haas Racing? Chevrolet), also admitted its fault.
