Bitter Rivals Kyle Busch and Joey Logano Were Forced to Race by $60 Million Worth TV Host Once, In Front of Live Audience

In 2018, the Championship 4 battle for the NASCAR Cup Series was really heating up. Ahead of the big showdown, all four championship contenders made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The contenders were Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr, and Kevin Harvick. At the time, Busch and Logano were really fierce rivals and had clashed pretty often.

Fortunately, this little get-together for the show was on much friendlier terms. Over here, the four drivers and host Jimmy Fallon competed against each other in a remote-control car race. Of course, each driver had a remote-controlled car, which bore their number and likeness to their real cars.

Over here the five cars, including one for Fallon, would race on an obstacle course built in the studio itself. First and foremost, the cars had to complete three laps around an ice rink, before weaving through three orange cones. Then, the cars had to go across a gravel road and then under swinging legs, through a tunnel, and finally across the final ramp.

How did Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, and the other drivers perform?

Before the race began, Logano confessed that he could be at a disadvantage. Eventually, he managed to figure things out and get his car moving a little. However, when the green flag dropped, it was absolute chaos before the first turn. Fallon managed to get a good launch but was soon caught and spun by the others.

Entering the ice rink, almost everyone tripped over each other in a desperate bid to come out ahead. However, it was Truex Jr, the defending NASCAR Cup champion, who emerged unscathed. In the end, he won the race and left everyone else scrambling behind him. Logano ended up second, while Busch was third and Harvick fourth. As for the real NASCAR championship, it was Logano who triumphed.
