Middletown’s Joey Logano Gets Into Post-NASCAR Race Brawl With Kyle Busch

MIDDLETOWN, CT — Middletown’s Joey Logano’s fourth-place finish in the Kobalt 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday created a buzz inside and outside of the NASCAR world after a pit-road brawl with Kyle Busch.

Video from the scene shows Busch emerging from the scuffle with a bloody gash on his forehead (watch video of the fight at the end of this article).

Busch apparently became enraged when his car spun into a wreck after coming into contact with Logano as they both raced toward a top-five finish, according to FOX Sports.

Busch, who ended up finishing in 22nd place, was furious after the race and went after Logano as he climbed from his car and FOX Sports reports at least one crew member got involved.

Logano told FOX Sports afterward that “there wasn’t too much talking, just a lot of swinging.”

The brawl is under review by NASCAR officials but NASCAR Vice President Steve O'Donnell said on Monday that it likely won’t lead to any sanctions, according to USA Today.
