NASCAR Driver Accused Of Making Uncalled For Comments After Martinsville

Joey Logano was so heated after Sunday's NASCAR race at Martinsville Speedway that he called out a rival Cup Series driver. 

Logano's car slid on Lap 317 after making contact with Chase Briscoe. Naturally, you'd think that he'd place the blame on Briscoe. However, he claims Ross Chastain set that whole fiasco into motion by putting Briscoe in a tough spot. 

After finishing last weekend's race in eighth place, Logano ripped Chastain for the way he performed at Martinsville. He was so livid that he actually resorted to name-calling.

"It was just kind of like a pick them off one at a time kind of thing and then Ross just sticking it in a tight spot," Logano said. "He did it to me on the restart before. I can’t even blame Briscoe for shipping him. I think he got himself in a bind trying to ship him. He just races like an [expletive] every week and I keep paying the price. I’m sick of paying the price."

During his media availability on Wednesday afternoon, Chastain had the chance to fire back at Logano. However, he opted for a calm approach to this situation. 

"I am confused by what he’s said. I haven’t heard since he got out of the car and had time to cool down and look at it," Chastain said, via NBC Sports. "I don’t believe that (Briscoe) was trying to get to me. I don’t think that. When I got down in front of the 22 the first time, there was a gap. Other guys had done that to me. That’s a very common move to get down in line. He took that opportunity to, I think, he hit me harder than he needed to."
