Joey was just a lot faster than the 24 at the end there. He had been running quicker lap times the last 8-10 laps and closed up what had been a near 2 second gap to nothing with about 2 laps to go.

I do not like the way Joey Lagono pushed in revenge of what happened 26 laps back , BUT Dale Earnhart used to do this during his prime days and had the same results and words at the end ! To bad for both , but that is racing !
I disagree - that was not racing there at all. Logano just flat-out wrecked the guy and didn't even try to pass him. He went and did exactly what he intended to do and that was to wreck him.
I could give a list of drivers who have done the same thing. It's been going on for year's. Of course back in the day they would duke it out. We live in a different time now.
Dale Earnhardt never wrecked anyone either he may have been a rough driver but he never wrecked anyone out he may have intimidated them into getting out of his way which is why they called him the Intimidator you need to go back and watch some of his races and you'll see that you're wrong about him wrecking people
In the past I may have thought the Joey Logano not right but this IS the way racing is done these days. This isn't the first time racers raced like this. Back in the day Earnhardt, Waltrip, and Walace raced just like this. I just don't understand the big deal. This is the way it has been going all year so why complain just because it is Logano?
Your right NASCAR has been like this for years. If your the one who wins you get the trophy and the other guy is always upset. I remember a couple of years ago guys like Harvick and Stewart banging Joey around, smacking him into the walls and calling him a spoilt rich punk. Why is anyone surprised he's learned how to punt people out of the road. I remember Carl Edwards punting Brad Keselowski out of the road at Gateway and Brad got t-boned. Carl got out of the car and said he couldn't let it happen again after Brad had punted Carl at a restart. then Brads dad was howling outside the medical centre about how Carl had lost his mind and almost killed his kid. No mention of how Brad had nearly killed Carl at Talladega. NASCAR is what NASCAR is. Guys beatin and bangin and fightin for wins.

It was a lovetap. Plus, Logano still would’ve won the race even without giving a shot to Byron’s rear. He clearly had more pace than Byron the last 20 laps.
This is racing. People want crazy finishes, then they say DIRTY when we get one. I love seeing crazy finishes. Briscoe did worse to Reddick. At least Logano won the race after doing that. Byron ran him in the fence, and Joey retaliated for the win rather than for the lead. Love seeing crazy finishes. But I would love to see Byron retaliate, I just wana see racer drama.
If what they are saying is true then drivers would have been hitting the wall on turn 2 every lap. He took the lead by pushing Logano into the Wall. Look in that picture of Byron putting Logano in the wall and look behind them and do you see anyone else putting the car on the outside into the wall?
This incident is quite simple. The move was a hard bump and run. No issues there. The problem is that it was unnecessary. Logano could've passed Byron without putting him in the wall. Just go low. He had the time and the overspeed in the car. Even if Joey was mad for being squeezed a bit on the restart (didn't really get put into the wall if you watch the replay certainly not like other drivers have done) he shouldn't have just wrecked Byron as a result. And for those saying it wasn't a wreck it was. Byron would've finished top 5 without the move instead he finished 13th with only one tire up and damage. So yeah, it may have been hard racing and just like the good old days, but the move came off like Joey wanted to be a jerk and wreck Byron.
I mean who cares really. They were both wrong for what they did and and if the 24 does a retaliatory action then I'm sure he'll get fan boosts. Gordon said it best when he said this format forces drivers to be more aggressive at the cost of others. Consistently performing only takes you so far.
Both WRONG? You kidding me? Now drivers are not supposed to race hard and run someone tight? What Byron did was racing, what Lagono did was dumping and he will get it back one day.
The 45,360 people so far care. You're here. Why are you here if you don't care? Furthermore, why would you comment if you don't care? I don't get it. It would be like if I went to a video of a bunch of people comparing techniques on sewing and said who cares. Obviously the people that sew care. WTF?
@@jagcat61 Moving a car out of the way say in a one lane track is one thing, the 22 could have easily dropped down and passed. The 24 was loose going in he knew it and put him in the wall, plain and simple. I just wish it backfired and took them both out so the 8 could win lol
After hearing Gordon’s comments after the race , I immediately found an old YT video of him moving Rusty Wallace for a win. In the true spirit of Earnhardt , rubbing is racing. If you think for a cold hard second , that Dale wouldn’t have done that , YOU’ RE WRONG ! All the old schoolers will move you for a win.
I can’t stand Joey, but he’s not in the wrong. That’s rubbin. And rubbin is racing whether you’re taking or returning. Jamie’s opinion is about as good as his racing career. ⭐️
Blame it still on this chase bullspit, wins are important. I've been a dirt racer for 20 years, having the respect nearly everywhere I go for being a clean driver means something to me.
EXACTLY. You’d never see multiple teams in nascar rushing in to reassemble a bent up car. You see it constantly on dirt. I remember a night years back at the dirt track at Vegas where a sprint car heat race had a pileup on the start- literally involving 9 of the 12 cars. They allowed the teams to just come out on track to repair rather than take the time to tow cars pit side. There were at least 10 teams per CAR out there fixing people up, it was like the floodgates opened up. That is what motorsports should be about.
Lagano had the faster car and Byron knew it.. And yes he pushed him in the wall.. It almost took him out at that speed. So stop whining. All the other drivers seen it and were thinking they could win this. If them two wrecked each other. They said as much..
That's the problem. The new next gen cars are so fragile that the little bit that the 22 got into the wall could have literally ruined his car and his race, whether it was intentional on Byron's part or not. I can understand Logano's frustration- and this is coming from someone who has always rooted against Logano.
I don’t think these guys would survive with Tony Stewart , Jeff Gordon, Bobby L , dale jarrett, oh yea DALE SR!!! Dale would have said, I didn’t mean to do that lol!!!!!
If people are mad at Logano let me ask you a question if it was dale Earnhardt doing it would you be mad. For years dale would wreck people and people still loved him!!!!!!!
Using the Dale Sr thing is getting old. Earnhardt was booed plenty for pulling this stuff, but now gets a pass because of the tragic 2001 crash. Dale and Jeff Gordon were also really good at moving someone without wrecking them. I’m a big HMS fan and would of had no issue with the bump and run. However, straight punting a guy is classless and a pure Logano move. Did Byron squeeze him a bit, absolutely, but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Logano maintained 2nd with next to no damage.
I don't know what the solution is. Logano should have got a stop and go. Its cheating, basically. I assume Byron will take revenge as soon as he can, since NASCAR didn't do anything.
Sure, Logano could have tried to race Byron. The issue is that they were coming to the white flag and he may not have had another chance to put the bumper to him. So you have to do it when the opportunity is there. This is what NASCAR has created and is what everyone has to accept. Oh and this is from someone who would have rather seen Byron win.
His tires was down and knew he wasn’t gonna win that’s why he checked up so early into 3 so Joey could go by. Joeys just a whiner he always will be and I hope he’s gets paid back the same way kenseth gave it to him a few years ago.
@@tophergerald3636 they were going the same speed heading into the corner. Byron was absolutely not giving up the lead willingly or he would have pulled down into the bottom lane instead of running the top and checking up early to take the short corner. He was def expecting Joey to check up as well which would have let Byron hopefully keep the lead for the next lap and a half.
Followed Joey now for years. I would have thought better of him if he just chuckled and said I did what I had to, rather than that lame excuse he tried to sell
0:24 Byron didn't mean to do it but he did actually run Joey into the wall. Granted, Joey should have just said "he was diving down the last few laps to steal my draft so I punched it assuming I could pass high". Instead his answer sounded like he was Kyle Busch. Glad he won but it wasn't necessary as his car was so much better at that point.
Byron was losing the handle on his car. He did a move called brake checking to make Joey slow up and lose his momentum but Joey wasn’t having any of that. It wasn’t a payback just Racing with these new cars.
Yeah. Think about the infamous Gordon Keselowski fight when Gordon said Brad came down on him and the video shows it was 100 percent on Gordon. All 3 Hendrick's cars are already in so securing a spot was key.
Well Jamie, maybe the fact you would have given the 24 a "couple of corners" coming to the white flag is why Joey's a champion and you had one halfway decent season in your career.
Will threw out the anchor right in the middle of the track , if Joey was being fowl i would say it , i just don't feel he did anything wrong , besides , listen to Bill Elliot during the incident
Idk why everybody is making a big deal about this anybody would've done the same thing if it's for the win but when it's Joey logano everybody gets pressed
The difference is Joey made no attempt to actually race for the win. He wrecked him the instant he got to his bumper. People aren't upset about the move itself, I think its fine. They are upset because instead of trying to race for a win, Joey just dumped him. That's what this stupid new format does. Second place is meaningless so people don't try to race and settle for second. They wreck people because wins are the only thing that matter
So I think Joey was mad at Byron for putting him into the fence off of turn two on that last restart, and Joey paid Byron back on the penultimate lap at turn three. I bet these two are gonna be rivalries as the season rolls on. I think that enough of me insulting Logano for now.
You "think"? He said so. Problem is that "wall" incident was typical bumping and grinding. Not deliberately SLAMMING a rear quarter... and in the turn no less.
Fair: The leader (22 car) just got fenced for no reason. And the 22 didn’t wreck the 24, he just bumped him. And the 24 still finished 3rd. Which is where he would have finished had he not fenced him in the first place.
When Earnhardt wrecked someone to win a race, he would always say "That's racing" and people loved him for it. I'm with Logano. I'm tired of watching those cheating Hendricks cars win.
This generation of racing is so stupid. The fact people are crying about this is ridiculous. Look at nascar in the 90s-2000s . ITS FOR THE WIN. Both drivers are millionaires who tf cares
Byron put Joey in the wall and that is ok. Doesn't matter if he ment to he got the lead doing it . You do that to the most aggressive driver out there and you expect no retaliation . Byron is the moron. I am glad Joey won .Go Joey 👍🇺🇸
So race like a video game with no penalties. Conserve your tires in 2nd place and make the cheap move. This isn't F1 where you have to outbreak someone and take a better apex through the corner.
Joey was just a lot faster than the 24 at the end there. He had been running quicker lap times the last 8-10 laps and closed up what had been a near 2 second gap to nothing with about 2 laps to go.

Logano decided to save his tires and put on a charge at the end,..catch him and then use and insurance policy bump and run for the win. If Byron had the performance to win,..Joey wouldn't have been close enough to bump and run. But Bryron didn't have the speed and lost.
And Joey could have easily said "Byron went low in every corner to steal my draft so I just punched it to pass on the outside" and we all would have bought it. Instead he came across as Kyle Busch.
Looked like the 24 car was backing up to logano . Logano to me looked like he didn't have much choice but to drill him . The 24 slowed so I was thinking he had a tire go down. Surely NASCAR hasn't hired the writers from the WWF.
The 24 was sliding through the corner and was way too loose. Joey was gonna pass him regardless. Joey just proved how classless of a driver he is there.
@@joshuapittman4663 It was unavoidable contact, it's not expected to suddenly slow down at that point in the corner, 22 was close behind so nowhere to go to avoid the contact.
Typical Joey, Foul, William passed on the inside, close racing, rubbing is racing, not hitting somebody so hard they go into the wall. Cheap, no skill, gutless win by Joey! Didn't even try to race William Byron. Could have been another great racing moment if Joey decided to race like Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch did with the closest finish.
Would of been nice to see the last 2 laps of racing for the win. Joey most likely would of got around him anyway. Just a long race to see a bump and run finish.
Ummm no he doesn’t, not on an oval. Just ask Matt Kenseth. But in this case Byron has the speed, all the Hendrick motorsports cars do. William Byeon doesn’t seem to have the retaliatory temperament. His interview after the race proved he has self control. But if I’m Joey Logano in the future, at least for the foreseeable future, anytime I am around the 24 I’m gonna wonder if this is the lap that I’m gonna eat the wall.
It doesn't matter what this Commentator thinks that Byron didn't really do anything except push him towards the wall but it didn't crash Lagano, it's what Lagano believed and anyone who thinks Being forced into the Wall which killed his cars momentum was perceived as an intentional attempt to deny him the lead which he has shown happens on the outside track. And Langano was 100% overtaking Bryon with gaining that 1 second distance that Langano had not been able to do since being forced to the Wall. Something had changed with Byron's Car, probably he didn't have solid contact with his back tires anymore and so he was forced to ease up slightly or spin out on the last turn before the Checkered Flag and Lagano still had solid performance with his tires under him. Bryon I perceive as having the Understanding that he did not have the capability to maintain the Lead in the Race may have ease up on the Throttle to make a Bump by Lagano appear to be Far More aggressive than Lagano was intending to do. What we have are Byron and the Legend Jeff Gordon Really Making this into a Major Assault Violation due to the lack of giving any acknowledgement of their Forcing Lagano into the Wall that snuffed out Lagano:s Car's Speed that he was building that would have overtaken Byron with Langano having the Benefit of The Higher Track which is known to give equal cars the Advantage in overtaking the counterpart threw and out of the Upcoming Turn. Sorry this should just be Allowed to End and no further Paybacks as Byron did stiffle Langano against the Wall can clearly be viewed on Replays!. The End!
People are trying to make Byron something he'll never be, everyone will get tired of favoritism in NASAR and penalties handed out equally, they didn't play all of the clip here with Gordon and Byron like they did yesterday and the thing said then should have gotten Byron fined because it would have gotten someone like Hamlin fined!
Really you think Logano could have had a little bit more patience than he did instead of just slamming him into the wall he needs to be taken out for a few races to teach him a little lesson about etiquette on driving
Seems you guys forgot the camera that was in logano's car showing Byron back off so logano bumped him. Byron is as Responsible for what happened to him as as well as Logano.
I find this basically silly we can call this the Bump and Run every driver over the yrs will do this Senior did it too Mayfield and then Mayfield did it too Senior Senior said no problem
Yeah shortstop, he didn't wreck Joey Logano cause Logano is a better driver and didn't allow Byrons move to crash him unlike Byron who crashed after a bump.
We saw all during the race just how bad these "discount" cars are. If someone tried to draft, they lost control. And even the slightest touch broke how many tie rod ends? I didn't like what Joey did as I thought he could have easily passed inside, but now looking at Byron not intentionally running Joey into the wall makes me think maybe Joey did what was the least likely to crash him?
Who do you think was at fault here?
Byron,he slowed way down

If Byron had the performance to win,..Joey wouldn't have been close enough to bump and run. He didn't and lost.
Ya wrecking another driver to win is okay as long as you're not Joey Logan, people are so bias and stupid it's amazing.
Who wrecked? You pearl clutchers like to lie. Wee Willy was not wrecked or even close to being wrecked.
@@merlinbeen8432 I think you completely misunderstood the point of the person you're replying to.
I reject every winner that wins this way. I have no bias other than I don't care for drivers that "win" this way. It's a losers way of winning.
It was a lovetap. Plus, Logano still would’ve won the race even without giving a shot to Byron’s rear. He clearly had more pace than Byron the last 20 laps.
I don't think Joey Logan made the field for this race
This is racing. People want crazy finishes, then they say DIRTY when we get one. I love seeing crazy finishes. Briscoe did worse to Reddick. At least Logano won the race after doing that. Byron ran him in the fence, and Joey retaliated for the win rather than for the lead. Love seeing crazy finishes. But I would love to see Byron retaliate, I just wana see racer drama.
thats not racing thatd umping someone at any local track joey would have been DQ for it
you obviously you have never raced. That's dirty racing
Penske dog water
Tell me one finish NASCAR has reversed when someone deliberately took another driver out on the final lap.
I'll wait here.
@@richardfuerst5286 dirty racing? Explain to me how Byron got the lead in the first place
If what they are saying is true then drivers would have been hitting the wall on turn 2 every lap. He took the lead by pushing Logano into the Wall. Look in that picture of Byron putting Logano in the wall and look behind them and do you see anyone else putting the car on the outside into the wall?
Well said !
This incident is quite simple. The move was a hard bump and run. No issues there. The problem is that it was unnecessary. Logano could've passed Byron without putting him in the wall. Just go low. He had the time and the overspeed in the car. Even if Joey was mad for being squeezed a bit on the restart (didn't really get put into the wall if you watch the replay certainly not like other drivers have done) he shouldn't have just wrecked Byron as a result. And for those saying it wasn't a wreck it was. Byron would've finished top 5 without the move instead he finished 13th with only one tire up and damage. So yeah, it may have been hard racing and just like the good old days, but the move came off like Joey wanted to be a jerk and wreck Byron.
Rubbin is racing looked like a Dale Sr Jeff Gordon finish
Byron didn't lift for Logano to keep him from the wall and Logano caught him and gave him the same treatment
I mean who cares really. They were both wrong for what they did and and if the 24 does a retaliatory action then I'm sure he'll get fan boosts. Gordon said it best when he said this format forces drivers to be more aggressive at the cost of others. Consistently performing only takes you so far.
Both WRONG? You kidding me? Now drivers are not supposed to race hard and run someone tight? What Byron did was racing, what Lagono did was dumping and he will get it back one day.
The 45,360 people so far care. You're here. Why are you here if you don't care? Furthermore, why would you comment if you don't care? I don't get it. It would be like if I went to a video of a bunch of people comparing techniques on sewing and said who cares. Obviously the people that sew care. WTF?
Where does the list of cars start that were “moved” by Jeff Gordon?
@@jagcat61 Moving a car out of the way say in a one lane track is one thing, the 22 could have easily dropped down and passed. The 24 was loose going in he knew it and put him in the wall, plain and simple. I just wish it backfired and took them both out so the 8 could win lol
After hearing Gordon’s comments after the race , I immediately found an old YT video of him moving Rusty Wallace for a win. In the true spirit of Earnhardt , rubbing is racing. If you think for a cold hard second , that Dale wouldn’t have done that , YOU’ RE WRONG ! All the old schoolers will move you for a win.
YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL BUDDY
It’s called racing
Logano had him, he just eliminated the possibility of Byron wrecking him on a clean pass.
unfair assumption. Joey NEVER tries to pass; he always wrecks people as soon as he gets to them.
I can’t stand Joey, but he’s not in the wrong. That’s rubbin. And rubbin is racing whether you’re taking or returning. Jamie’s opinion is about as good as his racing career. ⭐️
If I'm a racecar driver and a competitor pushes me into the wall I'll be very upset, would you ??
Fair, not foul.... Period, rubbing is racing, how many times has Dale jr. do the bump and run, and thats ok?
That wash a wreck and run. It sucked!
Blame it still on this chase bullspit, wins are important.
I've been a dirt racer for 20 years, having the respect nearly everywhere I go for being a clean driver means something to me.
EXACTLY. You’d never see multiple teams in nascar rushing in to reassemble a bent up car. You see it constantly on dirt. I remember a night years back at the dirt track at Vegas where a sprint car heat race had a pileup on the start- literally involving 9 of the 12 cars. They allowed the teams to just come out on track to repair rather than take the time to tow cars pit side. There were at least 10 teams per CAR out there fixing people up, it was like the floodgates opened up. That is what motorsports should be about.
Lagano had the faster car and Byron knew it..
And yes he pushed him in the wall.. It almost took him out at that speed. So stop whining. All the other drivers seen it and were thinking they could win this. If them two wrecked each other. They said as much..
That's the problem. The new next gen cars are so fragile that the little bit that the 22 got into the wall could have literally ruined his car and his race, whether it was intentional on Byron's part or not. I can understand Logano's frustration- and this is coming from someone who has always rooted against Logano.
Byron has a couple wins under his belt an he thinks the only way Logano can win is driving through him😂😂 clown
He only cleared him because he fenced him, how did you think he’d feel? Why would he take the outside and let Byron fence him again?
I don’t think these guys would survive with Tony Stewart , Jeff Gordon, Bobby L , dale jarrett, oh yea DALE SR!!! Dale would have said, I didn’t mean to do that lol!!!!!
If Byron doesn't take Joey out in the first 50 laps at Kansas something is wrong.
I hope he does
Nah use it against him during higher stakes
If people are mad at Logano let me ask you a question if it was dale Earnhardt doing it would you be mad. For years dale would wreck people and people still loved him!!!!!!!
Stop using Dale Sr! He was constantly booed for years! Listen to drivers that raced against him 🙄
thats called bump and run .. its 100% legal in nascar .
He did it on short tracks and didn't send them into the wall to wreck them. Logano did a dump and run not a bump and run.
Using the Dale Sr thing is getting old. Earnhardt was booed plenty for pulling this stuff, but now gets a pass because of the tragic 2001 crash. Dale and Jeff Gordon were also really good at moving someone without wrecking them.
I’m a big HMS fan and would of had no issue with the bump and run. However, straight punting a guy is classless and a pure Logano move. Did Byron squeeze him a bit, absolutely, but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Logano maintained 2nd with next to no damage.
@@shaynejenkins446 terry labonte Bristol ring a bell
I don't know what the solution is. Logano should have got a stop and go. Its cheating, basically. I assume Byron will take revenge as soon as he can, since NASCAR didn't do anything.
Sure, Logano could have tried to race Byron. The issue is that they were coming to the white flag and he may not have had another chance to put the bumper to him. So you have to do it when the opportunity is there. This is what NASCAR has created and is what everyone has to accept. Oh and this is from someone who would have rather seen Byron win.
His tires was down and knew he wasn’t gonna win that’s why he checked up so early into 3 so Joey could go by. Joeys just a whiner he always will be and I hope he’s gets paid back the same way kenseth gave it to him a few years ago.
@@tophergerald3636 Kenseth lost any of his future rides from doing that stupid move so I’m not sure that’s a good comparison
@@TWOhype23 kenseth was a bland driver. Byron on the other hand Is a young talented driver and I don’t think hendrick would cut him
@@tophergerald3636 they were going the same speed heading into the corner. Byron was absolutely not giving up the lead willingly or he would have pulled down into the bottom lane instead of running the top and checking up early to take the short corner. He was def expecting Joey to check up as well which would have let Byron hopefully keep the lead for the next lap and a half.
Followed Joey now for years. I would have thought better of him if he just chuckled and said I did what I had to, rather than that lame excuse he tried to sell
0:24 Byron didn't mean to do it but he did actually run Joey into the wall. Granted, Joey should have just said "he was diving down the last few laps to steal my draft so I punched it assuming I could pass high". Instead his answer sounded like he was Kyle Busch. Glad he won but it wasn't necessary as his car was so much better at that point.
I hate Logano but loved this move. I’m tired of “goody good” racing. Dale Earnhardt would’ve been proud.
Classic bump and RUN, and BYRON DID checkup!! LOOK! And guess what, Joey didn't wreck Byron either.
Furthermore what driver would not have done this?
Racing is fun winning is more fun
Bill Elliott
Byron was losing the handle on his car. He did a move called brake checking to make Joey slow up and lose his momentum but Joey wasn’t having any of that. It wasn’t a payback just Racing with these new cars.
Byron did not brake check him. You have no clue what your talking about.
Logano, you just gained me as a fan, finally not a dam hms car to take another win away.
HMS wasn’t leading for years. It’s just been the last 2 years.
someone's jealous of hms
You 3 wouldn't be a little biased, would you?
He will be the first one crying when his car is destroyed by Byron.
Jeff "Wonder Boy" Gordon getting angry at Joey Logano is funny. Gordon angry at Logano for doing something that he often did himself. LMAO.
Yeah. Think about the infamous Gordon Keselowski fight when Gordon said Brad came down on him and the video shows it was 100 percent on Gordon. All 3 Hendrick's cars are already in so securing a spot was key.
Well Jamie, maybe the fact you would have given the 24 a "couple of corners" coming to the white flag is why Joey's a champion and you had one halfway decent season in your career.
Or maybe. He races with respect
Spot on.
Joey is known more for being a dirty racer than being known for his championship.
@@shaynejenkins446 Only by those who don't appreciate his skills.
@@shaynejenkins446 By idiots.
Will threw out the anchor right in the middle of the track , if Joey was being fowl i would say it , i just don't feel he did anything wrong , besides , listen to Bill Elliot during the incident
Logano overdrove the corner. Byron wasn’t slow Joey just didn’t slow down.
@@parkerwalsh3340 Watch it back. 22 lifted before the 24
Idk why everybody is making a big deal about this anybody would've done the same thing if it's for the win but when it's Joey logano everybody gets pressed
Because he does it a LOT! He’s a dirty racer!
The difference is Joey made no attempt to actually race for the win. He wrecked him the instant he got to his bumper. People aren't upset about the move itself, I think its fine. They are upset because instead of trying to race for a win, Joey just dumped him. That's what this stupid new format does. Second place is meaningless so people don't try to race and settle for second. They wreck people because wins are the only thing that matter
@@zachhatten261 Stop saying WRECKED, that is a lie. No damage, no wreck, Geez you people seem to thrive on lies and drama. NO ONE WAS WRECKED OR HURT!
So I think Joey was mad at Byron for putting him into the fence off of turn two on that last restart, and Joey paid Byron back on the penultimate lap at turn three. I bet these two are gonna be rivalries as the season rolls on. I think that enough of me insulting Logano for now.
Thanks captain obvious
You "think"? He said so.
Problem is that "wall" incident was typical bumping and grinding. Not deliberately SLAMMING a rear quarter... and in the turn no less.
I personally find crowding a guy into the wall just as unsportsmanlike as bumping a guy out of the way. But everybody will have a different opinion.
Joey knows how to drive and Byron is learning.
The only thing funny to me is when the retaliation comes Joey will whine about it.
Show the Cumarrow braking telemetry when the exhaust is flaming
Fair: The leader (22 car) just got fenced for no reason. And the 22 didn’t wreck the 24, he just bumped him. And the 24 still finished 3rd. Which is where he would have finished had he not fenced him in the first place.
Byron slid up the track while Joey didnt lift and the 24 finished 13th, not 3rd. Not sure what race you were watching.
When Earnhardt wrecked someone to win a race, he would always say "That's racing" and people loved him for it. I'm with Logano. I'm tired of watching those cheating Hendricks cars win.
Logano is a punk child. Just stop with your stupid bs. And only ones cheating are RFK
Well said 👏
This generation of racing is so stupid. The fact people are crying about this is ridiculous. Look at nascar in the 90s-2000s . ITS FOR THE WIN. Both drivers are millionaires who tf cares
Joey did right, believe me I'm far from a Lagano fan. If I was in his position I would have done the same. Why give him another chance to wreck him?
Exactly!
Loved it !!! WB crybaby.
Byron put Joey in the wall and that is ok. Doesn't matter if he ment to he got the lead doing it . You do that to the most aggressive driver out there and you expect no retaliation . Byron is the moron. I am glad Joey won .Go Joey 👍🇺🇸
So race like a video game with no penalties. Conserve your tires in 2nd place and make the cheap move. This isn't F1 where you have to outbreak someone and take a better apex through the corner.
Joey was just a lot faster than the 24 at the end there. He had been running quicker lap times the last 8-10 laps and closed up what had been a near 2 second gap to nothing with about 2 laps to go.
On the last re-start, Byron ran Joey up in to the wall and was able to get the lead in doing so.
Logano decided to save his tires and put on a charge at the end,..catch him and then use and insurance policy bump and run for the win.
If Byron had the performance to win,..Joey wouldn't have been close enough to bump and run. But Bryron didn't have the speed and lost.
Earnhart and Busch did and do this all the time with the same result at the end.
Not a Logano fan. But looked like the classic bump and run. That's NASCAR racing. Get over it Byron. No stress cards in NASCAR.
As a semi Logona fan... im kinda disapointed.
Yes he put him in the wall!!!
Great win logano....
The issue is that Joey never tried to pass him. He only sent Byron.
Yes, it was the Dump-and-Run not a Bump-and-Run.
And Joey could have easily said "Byron went low in every corner to steal my draft so I just punched it to pass on the outside" and we all would have bought it. Instead he came across as Kyle Busch.
A win is a win
Earnhardt did what he needed to win, not that i like Joey at all.
Looked like the 24 car was backing up to logano .
Logano to me looked like he didn't have much choice but to drill him .
The 24 slowed so I was thinking he had a tire go down.
Surely NASCAR hasn't hired the writers from the WWF.
The 24 was sliding through the corner and was way too loose. Joey was gonna pass him regardless.
Joey just proved how classless of a driver he is there.
you must be blind
I saw the same thing, 24 was suddenly slowing down more than usual mid corner. On 22 onboard you can here him off the throttle well before contact.
@@srm3446 because he was loose and his tires were shot.
Logano was gonna pass him regardless, he just chose to wreck him for no reason
@@joshuapittman4663 It was unavoidable contact, it's not expected to suddenly slow down at that point in the corner, 22 was close behind so nowhere to go to avoid the contact.
Typical Joey, Foul, William passed on the inside, close racing, rubbing is racing, not hitting somebody so hard they go into the wall. Cheap, no skill, gutless win by Joey! Didn't even try to race William Byron. Could have been another great racing moment if Joey decided to race like Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch did with the closest finish.
Would of been nice to see the last 2 laps of racing for the win. Joey most likely would of got around him anyway. Just a long race to see a bump and run finish.
Joey is not a clean driver in any way, however it's not Joeys fault Byron couldnt control his car.
Just remember that Byron has to be fast enough to catch Joey to retaliate
Ummm no he doesn’t, not on an oval. Just ask Matt Kenseth. But in this case Byron has the speed, all the Hendrick motorsports cars do. William Byeon doesn’t seem to have the retaliatory temperament. His interview after the race proved he has self control. But if I’m Joey Logano in the future, at least for the foreseeable future, anytime I am around the 24 I’m gonna wonder if this is the lap that I’m gonna eat the wall.
Chastain and Byron have to be the favorites right now. But I don't blame Logano.
It doesn't matter what this Commentator thinks that Byron didn't really do anything except push him towards the wall but it didn't crash Lagano, it's what Lagano believed and anyone who thinks Being forced into the Wall which killed his cars momentum was perceived as an intentional attempt to deny him the lead which he has shown happens on the outside track.
And Langano was 100% overtaking Bryon with gaining that 1 second distance that Langano had not been able to do since being forced to the Wall. Something had changed with Byron's Car, probably he didn't have solid contact with his back tires anymore and so he was forced to ease up slightly or spin out on the last turn before the Checkered Flag and Lagano still had solid performance with his tires under him.
Bryon I perceive as having the Understanding that he did not have the capability to maintain the Lead in the Race may have ease up on the Throttle to make a Bump by Lagano appear to be Far More aggressive than Lagano was intending to do.
What we have are Byron and the Legend Jeff Gordon Really Making this into a Major Assault Violation due to the lack of giving any acknowledgement of their Forcing Lagano into the Wall that snuffed out Lagano:s Car's Speed that he was building that would have overtaken Byron with Langano having the Benefit of The Higher Track which is known to give equal cars the Advantage in overtaking the counterpart threw and out of the Upcoming Turn.
Sorry this should just be Allowed to End and no further Paybacks as Byron did stiffle Langano against the Wall can clearly be viewed on Replays!.
The End!
People are trying to make Byron something he'll never be, everyone will get tired of favoritism in NASAR and penalties handed out equally, they didn't play all of the clip here with Gordon and Byron like they did yesterday and the thing said then should have gotten Byron fined because it would have gotten someone like Hamlin fined!
Rubbing is racing.
Really you think Logano could have had a little bit more patience than he did instead of just slamming him into the wall he needs to be taken out for a few races to teach him a little lesson about etiquette on driving
Joey gave back what he got. Of course wait til the last lap to do it. not 26 laps before the end
Racing to Win, No Problem 🇺🇸
Seems you guys forgot the camera that was in logano's car showing Byron back off so logano bumped him. Byron is as Responsible for what happened to him as as well as Logano.
Why race this guy fair when
You know he was going to do
The same thing again could not
Take that chance
Lagano...22 was in the right 👍
He keeps saying he wished Joey would have just races him a few more laps to see if he could pass him cleanly. Ugh...there was one lap to go
That's the way real men race
Real men???? Not something Bill Elliott would have done.
That's racing! All of you have done it
I am sick of the announcers covering for the Hendrick drivers like Byron. Byron ran Joey into the wall, Joey got him back.
I find this basically silly we can call this the Bump and Run every driver over the yrs will do this Senior did it too Mayfield and then Mayfield did it too Senior Senior said no problem
Joey Logano and Mustangs rule!!
You can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen that is not the first time somebody got bumped during a race get over it
Racing is a contact sport! We've turned into a bunch of "Touch me nots"
Byron's tires were done he wasn't going to win anyway and nascar should thank Joey because people are still talking about the race
Fox for not showing what happen raceday!!! Where Byron did fence Joey into the wall..
The Dale Earnhart school for "last lap tap" prevails again.
For this reason I prefer Nascar over F1.
Yeah shortstop, he didn't wreck Joey Logano cause Logano is a better driver and didn't allow Byrons move to crash him unlike Byron who crashed after a bump.
We saw all during the race just how bad these "discount" cars are. If someone tried to draft, they lost control. And even the slightest touch broke how many tie rod ends? I didn't like what Joey did as I thought he could have easily passed inside, but now looking at Byron not intentionally running Joey into the wall makes me think maybe Joey did what was the least likely to crash him?
Joey Logano for the win!!!!! Rubbin’ is racin’. Awesome run buddy.
I dont believe any retaliation will come in Kansas next week, I believe he's gonna wait a couple of races down the road to do something
