Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin added another chapter to their rivalry after a tense race. With Hamlin in the FedEx car and Logano in the yellow No. 22, things got heated after a late-race incident where Logano squeezed Hamlin near the wall. Hamlin blew a tire and Logano pulled away without much concern. After the race, Hamlin approached Logano to confront him about the move. The two exchanged words, with Logano brushing it off and walking away. As he did, he threw a quick verbal jab that set Hamlin off.
Hamlin lunged at Logano but was separated by crew members and a wall. Then things escalated. One of Logano’s crew members, reportedly a crew chief, grabbed Hamlin and pulled him down in a rough takedown. Hamlin bounced up fast, clearly furious, but security stepped in to hold things back. In the background, drivers and crew tried to de-escalate the situation, with one guy yelling “it’s not worth it” while holding people back.
In the end, Hamlin looked like he won the post-race battle with words, jabs, and attitude. Logano kept his distance, and his crew did most of the dirty work. The track drama turned into a pit road scuffle, complete with security dragging people off and a sunset nobody was watching. Classic short temper showdown after a tight race with no space on Turn 4.
