That sucked! In his interview he implied the slower car frustrated him enough that he got offline (and made the mistake). Bottom line, he made the mistake and totaled the car. I feel very bad for Boris and the whole team.

Funny (not really) how many things come together at a bad point sometimes. Too bad he was 'driving' the car in front instead of his line.

Easy to be a Monday morning quarterback but you'd think if the front car was so slow there would have been many chances to pass rather than outside in the marbles.

Sound to me like Joey Logano could not care less with a really chitty attitude. I notice the way he kicked the dirt/stuff off his shoe when he got out of the car ... He'd be a goner if it were up to me.

Why in the world would someone ever put a roundy round driver in a sports car?
I could name off a dozen amatuer drivers that would cream that guy in the same car and they would have done it for free.

I think you might could fluke a roundy round lap, but you gotta be up on the wheel pretty good to put down a lap that puts you on pole in Cup.

Logano finished 6th at Infinion, and got the Pole at Infinion, ahead of names like Ambrose, Said, Gordon, Stewart, Lally, Pilgrim, Montoya, etc I think you might could fluke a roundy round lap, but you gotta be up on the wheel pretty good to put down a lap that puts you on pole in Cup.

To me, he just didn't seem to care that he totally ruined that team's weekend. "Oh gee, I guess I let my emotions screw my team. Now, where is my multi-million dollar 4 door spec racer that pays me lots of money."

None of us know what the finiancial deal was here. Some Cup teams pay road racers to get in their cars because they know their regular driver isn't comfortable on a road course. Some may PAY a Grand Am team to put their drive in the car to get more seat time. You just don't know. /:\
