Dale Earnhardt Jr Cheekily Takes Credit for Joey Logano’s Threat Against William Byron After Calling Him Out on His NASCAR Podcast

Last weekend, the last lap incident with William Byron and Joey Logano, was all that everyone could talk about. For the uninitiated, Logano did a bump and run on race leader Byron. This was enough to send the Hendrick Motorsports driver into the wall and seeing red.

Of course, the Team Penske driver went on to win the race, much to the #24 driver’s fury. Later on, there was a lot of back and forth between the warring duo. In light of the incident and the subsequent fallout, Dale Earnhardt Jr spoke about Logano’s latest comments.

Logano said, “What happened last week, happened. I still stand by the stuff I said last week, I got fenced and I retaliated and won the race. Like I said last week, that’s how it works. I won’t get pushed around, so in my book, we’re back to even. You reset and go again.”

“Honestly, if he wants to keep going back and forth, I’ll keep swinging. I don’t think that’s a good play for him in the long run. Like I said, I feel like we’re even, If he was going to take the lead that way, I was going to take the lead the same way. He can keep going. But I can promise you I’ll keep going and I’ll go bigger every time.”

What did Dale Earnhardt Jr say?

The former NASCAR star joked that Logano’s fighting talk may have been his and his fellow podcasters’ fault.

In his podcast, Dale Jr urged the #22 driver to not be too apologetic about his tactics. Instead, he should own up to his tactics and promise that there was more where that came from.

According to Dale Earnhardt Jr, Logano was notorious for those kind of moves, so he should just drop the ‘nice guy’ act.

The former Daytona 500 winner suggested that he embrace his nature as an aggressive driver. This is because, at the end of the day, when it came down to the wire, the nice guys finish last. To add to that, the likes of Freddie Kraft also insisted that Logano should have made a proper attempt to pass instead of the bump and run.
