“He Just Does Dumb Stuff” – Joey Logano Wasn’t Happy After Getting Intentionally Wrecked By Ross Chastain At The Chicago Street Course

Two of NASCAR’s fiercest competitors going at it.

NASCAR was in Chicago today for the third (and possibly final) annual street course race in the Windy City. And like the first race in Chicago back in 2023, Shane Van Gisbergen took home the checkered flag after starting on the pole and being one of the favorites all weekend.

And as you would expect on the 4th of July weekend, there were plenty of fireworks.

There was a massive wreck in the opening laps when Carson Hocevar got into the wall and spun out, collecting several other cars on the tight street course in the process.

As you can imagine, the cars that got caught up in Hocevar’s wreck weren’t happy with the polarizing driver:

From Austin Dillon's in-car after the big wreck:
"Carson Hocevar is the biggest dumbass in the entire sport."
"Yep. Everybody knows it buddy."

But that was far from the only time we saw tempers flare both on and off the track. During the closing laps of the race, Alex Bowman and Bubba Wallace were locked in a heated battle for a top-10 finish that ended with Wallace getting turned:

And Bowman wasn’t happy with the way Bubba was racing him:

Alex Bowman's radio was clearly fed up with the way Bubba Wallace was racing them. "We're not playing nice with this motherfucker. Stay with it."

Elsewhere on the track though, another rivalry was flaring up.

It all started on a restart with 13 laps to go when the cars entered turn one three wide and Austin Cindric piled into the crowd. The contact from Cindric sent both Kyle Larson and Joey Logano into the Ross Chastain, sending the #1 car spinning after restarting in 8th position.

Here is the set of incidents that led to the post-race conversation between Joey Logano and Ross Chastain. Both were involved in the Turn 1 skirmish with 12 laps to go, and then in Turn 2, it looked like Chastain sent Logano for a ride into Stenhouse. #NASCAR pic.twitter.com/RUnmOeywnF

Chastain apparently thought that Logano had simply run him over, not knowing that Cindric had plowed into all of them. Or he was just unhappy that Logano was running him that wide in the corner to begin with. Either way, in the next corner he dive bombed the #22 car to send Logano and the #47 car of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. spinning.

Nope. It seems Chastain felt like Logano got into him, but it was Stenhouse, Jr. pushing Joey into Ross. Ross retaliated and hit Joey. At the same time, he took out Stenhouse, Jr so he got 2 birds with one stone?#NASCAR | #NASCARonTNT | #GrantPark165 Read More
