Breaking Down the Byron-Logano Incident | NASCAR on FOX
NASCAR RaceHub discusses the incident between Joey Logano and William Byron during the Darlington race. With two laps to go, Byron slightly pushed Logano up the track, but it didn't appear to cause any damage. Logano later aggressively retaliated, hitting Byron from behind without attempting to pass. Opinions are divided on whether Logano's actions were fair or foul. While some believe Byron did nothing wrong, others understand Logano's frustration. The incident sparked discussions about racing tactics and potential future retaliation. Jeff Gordon's reaction as a mentor to Byron was also highlighted.
