Joey Logano was not a fan of how he had been raced by Denny Hamlin on a restart on Lap 123, and he showed his displeasure for Hamlin as he flipped him the bird under the next caution flag at Lap 126.
Logano restarted the race from the fourth position on Lap 123 of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway when Hamlin got into the back of Logano, and the pair of drivers slid up the track, and began to lose positions.
Logano had fallen to 15th by the time Ty Gibbs went for a spin on Lap 126 to bring out the third caution of the day.
After throwing up the middle finger to Hamlin, Logano radioed to his crew, “He’s got one coming.”
Logano continued by saying, “Frickin’ drives through me into [Turn] 1, where’s he going?”
His spotter Coleman Pressley relayed to Logano that Hamlin was pushing him into the corner, but that another car collided with Kyle Larson, which caused both he and Hamlin to slide up the track.
Logano didn’t care much for that excuse as he was still upset that Hamlin had run into the back of him.
“He drove stright in the back of me. I ain’t buying any of that,” Logano fired back.
Keep an eye on the drivers of the No. 11 and the No. 22 cars when the Ally 400 goes back to green. Heading into Sunday’s race, Logano was clinging onto the Playoffs cutline, and can’t afford any issues.
