Joey Logano did not mince words with reporters about Austin Dillon after the wild end to Sunday night’s Cook Out 400 in Richmond.
On the final lap of the NASCAR Cup Series race in Richmond, Logano was leading heading into the last dash. Dillon wasn’t too far behind Logano, but heading into the final turn, the 34-year-old driver made contact with the him, causing Logano to spin out right before the finish line.
Dillon then clipped Denny Hamlin on his way back inside before finishing an absolutely mind-blowing final lap to win the race. Here’s how the final lap looked on the broadcast.
An incredibly controversial move, to say the least. In the aftermath, Logano was understandably furious with Dillon in a very NSFW post-race interview.
It’s [expletive], there’s no doubt about it. He’s four car lengths back. Not even close. Then he wrecks the 11 to go along with it and then he’s going to go up there and thank God and praise everything with his baby. It’s a bunch of [expletive], it’s not even freaking close.
Logano continued to fume in a later interview on the track, saying Dillon has “sucked his whole career”.
Here’s how Dillon reacted after winning the race as well, briefly touching on the collision.
It remains to be seen if NASCAR will dole out punishment at all, but Hamlin — the other driver who was hit by Dillon — also wasn’t pleased about the way things went down.
