Logano vows to 'fix' lingering issues from Daytona 500 finish

Logano vows to ‘fix’ lingering issues from Daytona 500 finish

Instead, after hanging back to begin a run and also with a push from behind by Michael McDowell, Brad Keselowski got involved in the left-rear of leader Joey Logano’sNo 22 Ford, which sent out Logano rotating down the track and also Keselowski competing up it and also right into the wall surface.

McDowell divided the center to acquire the lead and also resisted Chase Elliott prior to the care was tossed, which safeguarded McDowell’s initial job win in the Cup Series’ most significant race.

Even ruling Xfinity Series champ and also other Penkse motorist Austin Cindric, running a partial Cup timetable this period and also couple of placements behind Logano and also Keselowski, could not take advantage of the occurrence. He wound up gathered in Keselowski’s wreckage, too.

With fellow colleague Ryan Blaney currently out of the race from a previous occurrence, none of the 4 Penske vehicles finished all 200 laps.

Letting Team Penske down

“To me, the biggest heartbreak of this whole thing is that there are 400 people at Team Penske asking where their Daytona 500 bonus is and it’s up in a ball of flames up in Turn 3 right now,” Logano stated Friday.

“That, to me, is probably the hardest part to deal with because those families put just as much into it as I do, and I learned this the most when we won the championship in 2018. That’s probably to me the most frustrating part and they should be frustrated too about it.

“I’m angry about it, so that part is probably what stings the most is that we had a really good shot at having a Penske 1-2 and, instead, we finished 12th and 13th.”

Logano stated he had yet to talk to Keselowski regarding the last-lap occurrence yet prepared to prior to this Sunday’s race on the Daytona Road Course.

Logano contrasted his colleague connection to that of a marital relationship and also it would not be healthy and balanced to “just roll it up under a rug.”

“It’s just not going to work. It’s not healthy. People do that, it’s just not healthy to do,” he stated. “So, that’s kind of the situation here, where I will be forced and he will be forced to work with me. We’re still teammates. We will have to figure this out.

“We may not have to agree on everything, but we at least have to find a way to move forward. And that is going to be the approach for me to do because going back to the 400 men and women that work at Team Penske, we owe to them to figure this out.

“And we will fix it.”

Nothing incorrect with last-lap block

Logano urges he does not think any person did anything incorrect, yet every person has “a different perspective.”

He stated McDowell also texted him this previous week asking if Logano believed he did anything incorrect at the end of the race.

Logano’s reaction? “Yeah, going for the win, I get it. He had three other cars bumper to bumper behind him because of the situation that was happening, so you can’t blame him for pushing.

“He was going to get pushed if he didn’t push, so it’s just part of the race.”
