nscs_championshipmediaday_111214_loganoJOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – ARE YOU SURPRISED? “Yeah. I think what happened at Kansas is a completely different deal. We were racing for the win and he blocks you a few times and then we raced hard and he blocked me the last time and we spun out. That’s what happened there. Here it was just a complete coward move, especially for a championship race car driver and race team. Just a complete coward. I don’t have anything else to say. It’s a chicken-you-know-what move to completely take out the leader when your race is over. We’ll move on. We’re gonna work hard and we’re gonna get our car back out there hopefully, We’ve just got to go win.” HAVE YOU TRIED TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION WITH MATT? “They won’t let me get to him.”

WHAT HAPPENED? “I got wrecked. I don’t know. What am I supposed to say about it? His race was over and he tried so hard to catch us the first time and he took out half the field, and he was successful the second time so I give that to him. It’s kind of a coward move. Actually, a really coward move for a race car driver to do that, essentially someone as mature and an experienced race car driver that knows what this is all about. For us, we’re just gonna go back out there and try to salvage a point or two if we can. We’ll go to Texas and try to win. We’re on a heckuva run. We were still leading the race. We’re not gonna let this take us down. This is a strong team and he’ll have his.”

NASCAR Statement

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (October 27, 2015) – “NASCAR has worked to review an extensive amount of material from Sunday’s NASCAR race in Talladega including video, team radio transmissions and downloadable data. Based on that review, the race results are considered official as we prepare for the upcoming 2015 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Eliminator Round starting Sunday at Martinsville Speedway.

“Post-race inspection is currently being conducted. The five cars at the NASCAR Research & Development Center for post-race inspection are the No. 22 (winner), No. 88 (runner-up), No. 18 (final car qualifying for the Eliminator Round), No. 31 (first car not qualifying for the Eliminator Round) and the No. 98 (random).

“Additionally, aside from today’s post-race inspection, NASCAR has completed review of any other potential penalties from the track this past weekend, and there will be no further actions.”
