Recently, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin spoke to Danica Patrick on her podcast. Among other subjects, she talked about her rivalries with other drivers, including Hamlin himself. Another driver whom they mentioned was none other than Team Penske’s Joey Logano. This was because the #22 driver had a bit of a reputation for being aggressive on the track.

Patrick called Logano a “jacka**” and a “little punk”, as he had often wrecked her many times. She admitted that he was another driver who she was not particularly fond of. In fact, she detested him more that she disliked Denny Hamlin. However, a number of fans did not appreciate her comments against Logano and made their displeasure known.

How did fans react to Danica Patrick’s comments on Joey Logano?
A lot of people called Danica Patrick out for her comments, and talked about their different career trajectories. They declared that she much more time in the infield care centre or ‘throwing tantrums’, compared to winning races. Others said that she had a hard time taking responsibility for some wrecks. In fact, they admitted that she used to blame other drivers for mistakes, and she was in top-notch equipment.
Oh sure like Danica had tremendous success in Nascar🤦♂️. She spent more time at the infield care center or throwing tantrums than she did leading races.

I like Danica but the thing that makes me a little upset is she never took responsibility for the wrecks she caused. She always blamed other drivers for her mistakes. Also she was in top notch equipment and couldn’t keep up with lapped traffic.

Seriously though Joey got picked on early in his career bad. I think that’s why he is the he is🤷🏻♂️

Thank you for saying this🙏🏻. It’s nice to see someone realizing how Joey got to this point. They pushed him to a point where he wasn’t gonna take it anymore. I don’t like Byron but I can admit if he keeps getting pushed around he will be like that eventually.

Few other fans defended Logano, suggesting that he often got picked on, early in his career. That was a possible explanation why he was more aggressive, because he decided to fight back. Some people even predicted that the likes of William Byron could potentially end up like that. Others believed that he could soon be a Hall of Famer, while she could end up as a NASCAR flop.
Regardless of what people think he’s going to be hall of famer. While she is going to be known for one of the biggest busts in nascar history with unbelievable financial backing 😂

Sounds like she's salty wonder if she truly got over what happened at the 2017 Spring Kansas race

As far as JL goes, he became known for wrecking people about 8 years ago when he started with Penske. I didn’t like him till he wrecked Hamlin (broken back incident)

Critics of Patrick simply had to point out that Joey Logano is the 2018 Cup Series champion. In the meantime, she does not have a single win in the NASCAR Cup Series. Few people even guessed that she could still be holding a grudge over the few times that Logano wrecked her.
