Ross Chastain calls Joey Logano’s remarks about him in Martinsville ‘pretty disappointing’

Concord, NC-Ross Chastain said he was “confused” by what Joey Logano said about him after last weekend’s race at Martinsville and that Logano’s name calling “was not justified.”

Logano blamed Chastain for causing an incident that resulted in Logano being spun in the last phase of last weekend’s race at Martinsville.

Chase Briscoe and Logano chased next to Chastain when Briscoe came on the track and hit Logano, who was spinning.

“It was just like a choice for them for a while, and Ross just tied it to a tight place,” Logano said. “He has done it to me before. I can’t even blame Briscoe for sending him. I think he tried to send him to send him. He chases just like a fox and I pay the price. I’m sick of paying the price. ‘

Asked if there is anything for Chastain, Logano said: ‘Not at the moment. Nothing good. ‘

Elton Sawyer of Nascar told SiriusXM Nascar Radio: “There were a multitude of bad decisions made by a multitude of drivers throughout the occasion.”

Chastain, who spoke to reporters at Nascar’s production facility on Wednesday, was asked about Logano’s comments.

“I’m confused about what he said,” Chastain said. “I haven’t heard since he got out of the car and had time to cool off and look at it. I don’t believe that (Briscoe) is trying to come out. I don’t think that.

“When I got off the first time before the 22, there was a gap. Other guys did it to me. This is a very common step to align. He took the opportunity to hit me harder than he needed.

“He’s angry with Cota. He says that I pushed a car into him late in the race. When I first heard about it, I honestly didn’t understand what they said, he said … I just couldn’t believe what they told and told me he said.

“I would hope he looked at it and had a little clear thought. He is a three -time champion. He can say what he wants, but these words have a lot of weight and just to come out and spit them, call me the names are not appreciated. I don’t think I don’t think.

“Honestly, quite disappointing that he would do, to take feelings he had from Cota and other race, and then take Martinsville and climb out and just blow it. If you give him five minutes, maybe he has calmed down, I don’t want to talk to him. He won a stage, so he knew he had interviewed. I was sixth. I did not interview. With what he says. “
