During the 2023 Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway, Chastain’s aggressive racing style once again came under the spotlight. He made contact with Noah Gragson’s car, pinning him into the wall with some tense driving. Gragson was understandably upset and retaliated by pushing Chastain low on the track. The incident escalated quickly, with the Legacy Motor Club driver approaching the #1 driver on the pit road after the race and a physical altercation breaking out.

As the chaos unfolded between Chastain and Gragson, a video surfaced on social media showing Joey Logano in the background, calmly sipping on a Coca-Cola in the background as the two drivers brawled. Logano’s lack of reaction to the scuffle has caused him to become the newest victim of unwarranted trolls on social media.

The Team Penske driver has always relished such drama and this reaction was very typical of him. It would be unnatural for Logano to interfere and rightly so. However, fans saw the funny side of it as they showered some hilarious responses to the 32-year-old’s reaction.

One fan said, “I can’t stop watching it, making me laugh so much lol.” On the other hand, one fan added, “He just wanted to enjoy the show.”

Obviously, this incident was reminiscent of the 2017 incident between Kyle Busch and Logano. Some fans wasted no time in highlighting it here. One of them said, “Joey’s like, I’ve done that!”

Fans have jokingly commented that Logano was more concerned about putting the cap back on his soda than the fight happening in front of him. One fan wrote, “Joey was like ‘lemme put the cap on this soda real quick. They acting different today.” Another one creatively said, “Multi-time cup champ, but more importantly, multi-time chug champ.”
