Joey already at it, not making friends

From media day:

WITH THE COMPETITION BEING SO CLOSE HOW DO YOU HANDLE FRIENDSHIPS IN THE GARAGE?

“I don’t think it really changes that much. You’re out there to win anyway. What changes? Last I checked I strapped in every race I’ve ever gotten in to was to win, not to make friends or have a good time. I’m not here to have fun, I’m here to win a race. There are gonna be those moments you have to win, but I don’t think it changes my mentality from what I had. I’m not thinking any different. I’m gonna try to win and do everything I can possibly do."

-Joey Logano

:D

Wait, was that directed at me? If so, I don't understand what you're talking about.
I didn't think it was Joeys fault and I was only casually referencing something someone else posted.
I used to wonder why certain posters seemed to hate others when I joined the board but as time has gone by, I understand. Everybody likes to be an a**hole to everybody else - and usually for very little reason. Jeez.
Let's lighten up.

No, it was directed at me. I'm obviously in his head.
 
I like everything I've seen and heard from Kligerman. And despite their Toyota alliance, I really want to see Swan Racing succeed
 
@dustinlong

Parker Kligerman says Joey Logano was over aggressive and that caused incident. Plans to talk to Joey.

As I said earlier, it's all in the replay what took place with that wreck. Either one sees it or they don't.
 
So, you change an engine and you have to start in the back of the 500. You go to an entirely different car and only have to start in the back of the duel race. That's Nascar logic for ya.

I tend to lean towards believing the guy that admits causing the crash. Especially, when he had the best view as anyone.:)

It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't practice.
 
With all the practice sessions today and the duals tonight it is going to be a full day of nascar on tv. I'm so excited that i have to sit on my hands to keep from waving at everybody.:waver:

I agree. A great move. Unfortunately, for me, I will have to miss the live version. The first round of my daughter's basketball playoff's begin tonight @ 7:00pm. Oh well, here's to DVR's. :beerbang:

... clearly getting racey in RP track practice is not smart... thought that went without say. All I even said was why I think they seemed mad at him. Did I say he didn't do anything? That being said I believe it was more Kenseths fault... again.. but still I never said Joey didn't do anything wrong... he was getting to racey for practice and was sticking his car in a small spot that he saw open up... should he have taken it easy? Clearly.. but without Kenseth swerving down and back up the track none of that happens.

Did you just quote yourself, and then reply to it?

You are going to get to experience 2 great things in the same day. The hardest part will be to keep from hearing the results before you get to watch. Good luck at your daughters playoff's.

I worry so you don't have to. Grinds my gut. Ready to go today. Have a nasty illness that will force me home from work so that I don't miss the start of the Duels. Hope I feel better.

I hope you feel better too Revman but are you sure you are really sick or is it "racing flu" ???
 
That forecast makes me nervous!

It's sad to hear some teams have to pack up because their **** was torn up in practice before qualifying.

Joey Logano couldn't fathom that I bet. ;)

Nope......... Joey and Matt just stick their steering wheel on a new car and head back onto the track. Whats worse is the "little guys" have even more chances of tearing up their cars tonight. Yesterdays "practice" session was ridiculous IMO

Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast at an RP track. It's not Kenseth and Logano's fault that some small money teams have to pack it up now.

Everyone knows when cars are on the track in a big wod, a big wreck is very likely.

It's like some of you guys need to have a sacrificial lamb to be held accountable whenever anything happens.

Hmmmmm let's see... most lead changes in NASCAR history paired with the closest finish... or a JJ parade around Daytona paired with a 15 car wreck...... sounds to me like exciting to you means a bunch of cars on their roofs...

I didn't realize that Kurt might not make the 500. I know next to nothing about the rules for this particular race. I'm kind of in shock now.


If he doesn't make it, you all will have to console me.

Kurt I believe is the first provisional champion slot. So unless something crazy happens, he'll get in.
