In a post race altercation Logano’s father Tom Logano walked up to Biffle’s car on pit road and had a verbal altercation with the driver that included calling the Roush driver “number one,” via a hand gesture – if you get my drift.
As a result the elder Logano’s credentials have been pulled and NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Tom Logano was meeting with officials to talk about the incident.
The Nationwide Series race Saturday at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA was won by the JGR #20 Game Stop Toyota driven by Joey Logano for his 5th victory of the 2009 season.
Logano took the lead from the pole only to be overhauled on lap 3 by, a rather ill feeling, Kyle Busch. At the first yellow flag, Kyle Busch relinquished the lead and his driver’s seat of his JGR #18 Nos Enery Drink Toyota to relief driver, Denny Hamlin. Hamlin resumed the race after a pit stop that relegated him to restart from the 20th position.
During this run Logano was racing for the lead with Greg Biffle. Oddly enough, the two were racing down the back straight-away when Biffle appeared to run Logano into wall. The damage that Logano’s car received pancaked his car’s entire left side and he fell back to 20th position.
As the race progressed towards the end, it became obvious that it would boil down to a five man race, Greg Biffle, Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano, and Denny Hamlin. Yes that same Logano that got “stuffed into the fence” on the back stretch by Greg Biffle!
With 11 laps to go, Keselowski was racing Hamlin for the lead. As they were exiting turn 4 Keselowski was making a move down low on Hamlin for the lead, when Greg Biffle made a run on both of them up high. The only problem for Biffle was that there was not enough room between Hamlin’s car( he was in the middle), Biffle’s car, and the fence. Biffle’s run on the outside for the lead, only resulted in his car and Hamlin’s car getting waded up and wrecking. That wreck increased the number of cars that Biffle put into the fence to 2!
The Biffle/Hamlin wreck and the ensuing restart allowed Joey Logano to race for, and take, the lead for his 5th victory off 2009 in the Nationwide Series.
