Recently, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin made an appearance on Danica Patrick’s podcast. It is safe to say, the two of them have had their differences in the past. In fact, they even feuded with each other for a long time. However, Danica Patrick confessed that there is one driver who she hated more than Hamlin.

That driver was none other than Team Penske’s Joey Logano. Truthfully speaking, this should not be too surprising, as Logano has a reputation for being an aggressive driver. Danica Patrick recalled an incident where Logano was feuding with Matt Kenseth in 2015.

She said, “Oh yeah, that was so exciting though! For those who don’t know, Matt Kenseth was taken out by Joey Logano, and he needed to get through to the Chase by winning. He was in the lead, he took him out and then at the next weekend at Martinsville, nothing happened while he was up there in the mix for Top 3, Top 5.”

“But once he was a lap down, he waited and came back up on track and when the green flag dropped at the end of the race.”

What else did Danica Patrick say about Joey Logano?

The former Stewart-Haas Racing driver confessed that she was actually glad that Kenseth got his payback. She recalled that the #22 driver often punted her out of the race during her own racing days. Patrick even noted that there are several drivers who have had issues with Logano.

She continued, “He just freaking dumped Joey, and I for one am joyful about that, because Joey’s a jacka** on the track.”

“He’s also another one that I don’t like, probably more than you [Hamlin] even. He crashed me too, and he’s just a little punk out there.”

“Just look at his track record, look how many people have beef with him.”
