Joey Logano has come clean about the Ross Chastain call that caused a major accident in Phoenix

Joey Logano shared his thoughts on taking out Ross Chastain during Sunday’s Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway. اعترف سائق فريق Penske بأنه “لم يقصد” تدوير Chastain.

قضى Polesitter Logana يومًا حارًا في فينيكس. His 73-lap lead was shattered after he was involved in two incidents that ultimately ended his day, the first of which occurred during a lap 217 restart.

With 100 laps to go, Logano was looking to pass Chastain at the dogleg transition, but pushed the last bumper too hard. اصطدم سائق Trackhouse بالسنجاب واتصل بالسائق المؤقت أنتوني ألفريدو. تم جمع زميل فريق Logano’s Penske، Austin Cindric، وتعرض لضربة قوية على الجدار الخارجي.

“Everyone ran out of space. You know, there’s two cars out there, and I thought I had one in, and you’re trying to scatter everyone back together. Everyone’s out of space and you get on the wrong end of it, so it is what it is.”

He added: “I hate that I got into Ross. I had a good run there to try and slide into him and kind of expect it, and he bottomed out and we got into each other and it ended up rolling him over, which I didn’t intend.”

Joey Logano caused another wreck on lap 254. He moved up Dougleg and caught the front barrier of AJ Allmendinger, which sent him into a spin and into Josh Perry and Daniel Suarez. أدى الحطام إلى تهميش السيارات الثلاث لبقية السباق.

Logano finished one position outside the top 30, while setting the fastest lap of the race. من ناحية أخرى، أنهى روس تشاستين عدة لفات في المركز الثامن والعشرين.

Austin Cindric started the race on the second row and ended up taking the brunt of Joey Logano’s first wreck. سجل الاثنان DNF، بينما واصل زميلهما رايان بلاني الفوز بالسباق.

“The restarts have gotten crazy here, and I’m not really sure what happened other than just cars jumping across the race track. I’m not sure I ever jumped head-on into the wall, but that changed today. It’s just a shame,” Cindric said via the official NASCAR website.

Joey Logano currently sits seventh on the points table, while Austin Cindric is 30th in the standings. فوز رايان بلاني أكسبه المركز الثاني على أرض الملعب. تمثل النتيجة فوز بلاني الثاني على التوالي بمسافة ميل واحد.

The most dominant driver of the day was Christopher Bell, who led 173 laps and missed the checkered flag by 0.399 seconds.
