Joey Logano calls on NASCAR to fine Ross Chastain after Chicago wreck: 'It's typical Ross'

One of the most heated moments during the Chicago street race came when Ross Chastain got into Joey Logano in what appeared to be a bit of retaliation. Chastain seemed to think Logano had been the one to slide him into the tire barriers at one point, and he came back and spun Logano on the next turn.

Logano was heated about the incident, dropping some choice radio communications about the spin to his team. Then after the race he confronted Chastain on pit road.

Reporters had a chance to catch up with Joey Logano after that incident, and he was blunt. To him, there was no gray area surrounding the wreck and whether it was intentional from Chastain.

“Do I think so? Yes, he admitted he wrecked me on purpose,” Logano told FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass. “He admitted it. Which means he should get fined if he admittedly wrecked someone on purpose. That’s not OK.”

Joey Logano has had more than one run-in with Ross Chastain this season. That’s part of the reason he was so heated after the race.

“Typical Ross,” Logano said. “He just sees red and does dumb stuff. That’s all. That’s twice this year on road courses at the end of these things I’ve been cost by Ross. I’m just over it.”

During the race, Logano lamented that Chastain hadn’t seemed to do his due diligence before taking him out. Logano wasn’t the reason Chastain had hit the tire barrier, with the field piled up and a number of drivers in the area.

Yet Chastain seemed to hunt Joey Logano down anyway. For what it’s worth, according to Jeff Gluck of The Athletic, there were no communications from Chastain’s team that would have suggested Logano was at fault. So he appeared to be acting independently.

“Ross better get the f*cking information right before he goes and wrecks somebody,” Logano said, via Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic. “And there’s f*cking six cars behind me wrecking into me, and then he destroys me from four back. That motherf*cker.

In any case, Logano is calling for a fine after the incident. He’s not happy.
