However, this isn’t the only time Joey Logano has put himself into the hot waters after pushing someone on the track. The infamous brawl with Tony Stewart is a prime example of that. The Auto Club 400 of the NASCAR Cup Series race in 2013 saw Logano and Stewart push each other after the restart.

What happened between Joey Logano and Tony Stewart?

As the race got over, Tony ran over near Joey’s car to confront him about the incidents on track. Tony exchanged some heated words with Logano before some push-ins. As the altercations escalated, crews had to intervene before it could get more ugly.

Soon after the altercation got over, Joey threw a water bottle toward Tony. Tony Stewart conveyed the incident after this, “It’s time he learns a lesson. He’s run his mouth long enough and done this double standard, but he’s nothing but a little rich kid who has never had to work in his life.”

Kyle Busch won the race where Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano crashed. Hamlin was airlifted to the hospital and the race restarted. Stewart led the race for 18 laps and had a chance to go upfront post restart. As the race restarted, Joey decided to block him from the inside.

The resulted block left Tony languishing down further. In the end, Stewart finished the race in 22nd place on a track where he won twice in the last four encounters. Logano to this stated that he was just doing his job and racing hard.
