Joey Logano admits fault, calls Duel crash a “dumb mistake”

Joey Logano admits fault, calls Duel crash a "dumb mistake"

While exiting Turn 2 on the final of 60 laps, Logano was leading but Chris Buescher darted to the inside to attempt a pass for the lead.

Logano, however, dove down trying to block Buescher’s advance and instead got hit from behind and slammed into the outside wall, which brought out a caution and did significant damage to his No. 22 Ford.

Buescher was leading at the time of the caution and was declared the winner and Logano was left as the first driver to move to a backup car, which will require Logano to start Sunday’s Daytona 500 from the rear of the field.

“Driver screwed up. That’s really all there is to it,” Logano said when asked what happened. “I thought I was still clear and the run came a lot quicker than I thought it would. I tried to block it a little bit and just got a tag in the left-rear and off it went.

“It’s my fault. It stinks because it tore up our car and kind of puts us in a spot as a race team. It’s just a dumb mistake.”
