NASCAR, much like any other sport, is not privy to intense arguments, fights and drama. So as the Cup Series action heads to Las Vegas this weekend, one would well remember the brawl that broke out between drivers Kyle Busch and Joey Logano.

Back in the year 2017, Busch had impressively managed to claim the race lead and only had some more distance to go. But on the final lap, contact with Logano meant that he lost control of his car and slipped down the order to finish 22nd in the end.

It agitated the Joe Gibbs Racing driver, who stormed onto the pit road and walked towards Logano’s pit crew setup. It quickly turned into a brawl after Busch landed the first blow to Logano, after which various crew members jumped in to stop the altercation.

Logano had stated at the time, “I’ve never had an issue with Kyle. Kyle and I have always raced really well together. We’ve never had an issue, but I guess that’s over.”

The clash required intervention from NASCAR officials to separate members from both camps. One security personnel member then escorted Busch, who had also suffered a cut to his forehead from the incident.

Busch had said in the post-race interview, “I got dumped. Flat out wrecked me. That’s how Joey races. He’s going to get it.”

Despite these differences, it is always a good sight for racing fans to see two top-notch drivers battle it out on the track. From that perspective, Busch and Logano may just have to race one another for some valuable points this Sunday.

Busch starts the race in 14th, while Logano starts 15th alongside Christopher Bell on the 8th row. Rest assured, for the first stage at least, we could see the two former Cup Series champions hustle to get into the Top-10 places.

Both drivers also have a decent record at this location, and will hence also look to add a win to their already illustrious tallies. But whether any residual frustration from that 2017 incident between the pair reflects on the track this weekend is something that remains to be seen.
