[autotag]Joey Logano[/autotag] sat on the pole for the 2024 Daytona 500 and had one of the cars to beat with 10 laps to go. In fact, Logano, Brad Keselowski, and Ross Chastain were the three main competitors out front. That was until Alex Bowman gave William Byron a bad push into Keselowski. The No. 6 car shot up the track, triggering the “Big One” and including the No. 22 car.
Following Logano’s wreck, he exited the infield care center and was asked about his emotions, plus his perspective on the accident from FOX. The driver of the No. 22 car was disappointed as he believed his team brought a fantastic vehicle for the Daytona 500.

“I’m pissed off if that’s my emotions,” Logano said. “I was riding up against the top there, and I just know [Brad Keselowski] got turned up into me. I don’t know exactly what happened. [Ross Chastian] was throwing hellacious blocks most of the time, I know that. But, I don’t know, I didn’t see what started it there…it’s speedway racing, it’s really fun until it sucks.”
Logano mentioned the blocks that Chastain was throwing, and it’s understandable from both perspectives. It’s the Daytona 500, and drivers must be in the best position to win the race. Did Chastain’s blocks cause the wreck? No, but Logano can also be upset with his aggression. Either way, it is in the past now, with Atlanta Motor Speedway up next.
