Many wouldn’t have believed this scenario given the history between the two drivers. Had it not come from Logano’s mouth, it would have been difficult to trust. But it is true as the 2015 Daytona 500 winner shared the story while speaking on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Logano started off by explaining how one of his friends charters an airplane to travel for the different races throughout the season. This flight includes many of the NASCAR spotters and drivers. While traveling to the West Coast recently, some big names including Kevin Harvick, William Byron, Martin Truex Jr, and Kyle Busch joined Logano.

It was then when he and Busch sat together. On this, Logano said, “It’s been interesting [traveling in the chartered flight] you know but it’s been fun. I sat next to Kyle Busch shoulder to shoulder for five hours on the way to Vegas, how about that?”

Needless to say, the Team Penske driver enjoyed shocking the hosts on the radio with this statement alone. His exact words were, “Couldn’t have seen that one coming, huh?”. Logano followed up with a hilarious statement. He said, “We talked it out. I think we are okay. I had my nice face on, we were okay. “ He might be good behind the wheel but is even better with his humor.

Speaking on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, he said, “I still think we can add another 300 horsepower to these things, and that’d be even more fun. I’m pretty sure every driver would love that. Also pretty sure that every fan would think that’s bada**. I like horsepower, I think everybody likes. Like a big old freaking motor in these things. At least that’s what I’d want.”
