Last weekend, the Team Penske outfit endured a nightmarish Daytona 500. This was because Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano got taken out while battling for the lead. Ahead of the Daytona road course race, Logano spoke about whether he and Keselowski sat down to discuss the crash.

He said, “I think cooling off is probably going to be good. It’s like a marriage.

“When you’re married to somebody, you have to figure it out. You’re married, you don’t just leave, it’s supposed to be forever. When you have a conflict or a difference in opinion, you have to talk about it.”

The driver insisted that he and Keselowski owe it to everyone at Team Penske to sort out their differences. According to him, no matter how people look at it, they still have to talk things out. At the end of the day, everyone’s primary goal is to move on from the incident and not play the blame game.

Joey Logano also confessed that getting revenge on each other would be pretty childish. This is because the drivers will not only compromise themselves but also everyone in the team who worked on the cars. All that they need to do is start with a fresh, clean slate. There is a time and place to talk about such incidents and get it off one’s chest immediately.
