An unapologetic Austin Dillon has shared his opinion on Joey Logano’s verbal attack towards him following the controversial Richmond victory. The driver for Team Penske Racing expressed his anger towards Dillon in a post-race interview using language that he may not be proud of. Unlike Denny Hamlin, who was also involved in the incident, Dillon did not apologize for his actions.
During the overtime restart, Austin Dillon found himself behind Joey Logano’s No. 22 Ford until the final corner. In an attempt to claim the win, Dillon wrecked Logano and also impacted the No. 11 car of Hamlin, who was trying to take the lead. Despite facing criticism for his actions, Dillon defended his decision in a post-race interview.
During an appearance on the Happy Hour podcast, Dillon responded to Logano’s remarks by highlighting that veteran drivers have resorted to similar tactics in the past to win races. He referenced a controversial moment in Logano’s career in 2018, where Logano wrecked another driver to secure a victory and ultimately went on to win the championship. Dillon suggested that Logano should move on from that incident and accept his status as the victim in this situation.
While Dillon may not be concerned about retaliation from Logano, it is important for him to remain cautious. Logano is not the type of driver to let incidents like this go unnoticed, and he may be waiting for the perfect opportunity to seek revenge. The ongoing feud between the two drivers will be interesting to watch unfold.
