[autotag]Joey Logano[/autotag] had a chance to replicate his start of the 2022 NASCAR season on Saturday night. Logano was up front near [autotag]Ty Gibbs[/autotag] and Kyle Larson with an opportunity to win the 2024 Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum. Instead, the driver of the No. 22 car washed up the track with help from Gibbs and ended up finishing in fourth place.
After the main event, Logano stormed to the No. 54 hauler and confronted Gibbs about the incident. In an interview with NASCAR.com, Logano talked about the incident and how he felt about how Gibbs raced him to open the 2024 season in Los Angeles, California.

“[Ty Gibbs] just used me up, all the way to the wall,” Logano said. “There’s a fine line of kind of pushing each other up a little bit if you’re racing for the win, but using me up with the history that he has with me is not a good idea for him.”
Gibbs and Logano have budded heads before, specifically at Martinsville Speedway in 2023. The No. 54 car spun out with help from Logano after previous on-track encounters left him frustrated. It appears that Gibbs and Logano have a mini-rivalry brewing. It is good for NASCAR to have some bad blood, especially between two of the sport’s most polarizing drivers.
