Joey Logano frustrated after promoter's caution at NASCAR All-Star Race

While Bell did not feel like he did anything egregious, Logano saw things differently and made his intentions of retaliating if he had the chance clear.

"I mean, it is what it is. I don't know. Sure, sure. He did it good enough that I couldn't get back to him, because I was going to show him what fair was," Logano said. "Just couldn't get there. Just couldn't get there with the tires."

When speaking in the media center following the race, Bell said he thought Logano's frustration was "interesting" and gave his assessment of the way everything played out.

"Well, I had got to him a couple times before and he made it very difficult on me, as he should. I got my run and I took the moment, as I should," Bell said. "Yeah, I don't think that I did anything that Joey has not done, and I've seen Joey do much worse. We will continue on."

Considering Logano had arguably the fastest car in the race and lost the lead with 10 to go, the frustration is understandable from the competition standpoint.

Even though the promoter's caution was utilized, everyone in the industry knew it was likely going to be in play. Bell took full advantage of the opportunity late and made an aggressive move on the inside to get the lead and eventual win.

Logano has never been shy on expressing his emotions and is as competitive behind the wheel as anyone in the series. He celebrates each win like it is his last and is never content with anything except parking his Ford Mustang in victory lane. Sunday night at North Wilkesboro was no different.

As frustrating as the runner-up finish was for Logano, he controlled most of the race and ran toward the front all night long. That is not something he has been able to do often through the first 12 points-paying races and should be encouraging heading into the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday (6 p.m. ET, Prime Video, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
