You should not have crossed paths with Joey Logano (Penske) in the pit lane after the finish of the race in Richmond this Sunday evening. On the verge of winning a second victory this season after starting the 400th and final lap in the lead, the man from Connecticut fell against an Austin Dillon (Richard Childress Racing) who was visibly too nervous at the wheel.
Not used to finding himself at the front of the peloton lately, Austin Dillon lost his temper in the penultimate corner hitting Joey Logano and then Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing) to take the victory. In the pits, an official quickly came to the foot of Logano's No. 22 Mustang to ask him to remain calm and not go against Dillon, thus avoiding a physical argument between them as can happen from time to time. time the pilots NASCAR.

« Apparently everything is normal. What do you want me to tell you… regretted Joey Logano. Obviously we can rush 5 car lengths and take out one person then another, and say that it was a racing incident. It's okay, everything's okay...
I didn't expect it. When you get hit by someone coming from that far away... I was three or four lengths ahead entering the turn (3) I even lifted my foot, telling myself that I would take the bottom and come out better. He just came in so hard he couldn't even make the turn. He hit me and then the No. 11 (Denny Hamlin) who was going to win. He had no intention of racing cleanly. I beat him before on the raise and he gave me a low blow like that.
It's bullshit! [so] He is bad and always has been during his career. Now he finds himself in the playoffs. Good for him no doubt... » Their reunion in Michigan next weekend looks promising.
