It is bad news about Hamlin. It was a heckuva shot he took as the result of Logano not being able to control his car by going in to the corner too hot.

At this point - I don't think there is anything Logano can do to improve the situation. He's managed to ruin his relationship with Hamlin - and no amount of "making nice" is going to change that.

Should there have been a safer barrier on the inside wall at that spot? Well on Sunday that would have been a good thing. But what we had last Sunday was a very unusual accident in a very unlikely spot.

The way to guarantee that no one ever gets injured in a crash at a race track is not to race at all. That is not acceptable to the fans or the drivers.

Alvin - there was a scuffle - not a physical assault. Stop being so melodramatic...

Champ pick a fight in the CH with your usual protagonist - not here... If you don't agree with me fine - move on to another thread. Everyone is entitled to their observations and opinions.

No harm no fowl so far IMO.

Sounds like Elliot Sadler may be a possible replacement driver for Denny for the next few weeks. No NASCAR this Sunday, so that gives Gibbs a little more time finding a driver.

And it will be interesting to hear the crowd reaction the next time when Joey Logano is introduced.

Am I not allowed my opinion?


I wasn't pickin' a fight with you or anyone else. I was stating my opinion on the incident. I'm sorry if you didn't like my "melodramatic" comment, but that's my opinion of characterization of the scuffle.

Looked like Logano was deliberately blocking a better car AND driver(stupid at that speed).
He confirmed after the race with the comment "Denny Hamlin was not going to win that race, no."

What Logano did, in my opinion and terminology, is use 8 wheel steering.

He went in to that corner too hot. There is no way he could maintain his line through the corner, so he needed to use Denny's 4 wheels to keep himself on the racetrack.

The result was predictable.
