“You Got Me, I Got You, Move On” – Joey Logano Urges Hendrick Motorsports Driver William Byron to Stop NASCAR Feud From Further Escalating

Move on. This was the key phrase Joey Logano stuck to as he tackled the question of ‘What’s next,’ amidst his fresh feud with Hendrick Motorsports youngster, William Byron. Logano had bumped Byron out of the lead to win at Darlington recently, something he justified by calling it a payback for when the #24 shoved him into the wall earlier in the race.

Naturally, the temper and tensions ran high from Byron’s end after the race. But now, all Logano wants him to do is to look past it, while he also acknowledges simultaneously that drivers “keep a tally.” 

“My opinion (is), we’re even. You got me, I got you, move on,” Logano said in a recent interview to fellow driver, Corey LaJoie. “I wouldn’t want to keep going, I can tell you that much. So I think it’s probably in the best interest for both of us to move on and keep going like we’re even.”

“Just because you get wrecked or something like that, doesn’t mean you wreck them back. Sometimes you just make their life living hell until things become equal,” he continued.

“Everyone keeps a tally of some sorts. All the drivers, they don’t remember the wins all the time, but they remember all the losses. So those things will always stick in your mind, and how you handle those situations is key.”

Joey Logano criticized for playing a victim after wrecking William Byron

As Joey Logano took the route of  “‘I had to pay him back, he was bullying me’” right after taking the checkered flag post bumping William Byron in the closing seconds of the race, spotter Brett Griffin slammed him for doing so.

“This is what I’m the most spot-off on – Joey’s lame-ass excuse after the race of, ‘I will not be bullied. He ran me in the fence,’” Griffin said in a recent episode of the Door Bumper Clear podcast.

Griffin insisted that if a driver wants to race “like a d-bag,” he’s gotta own it.

“Don’t play a victim on TV,” the spotter added.
