Joey Logano's dad has words with Biffle & Robby Gordon

Tom Logano probably embarrassed his kid Joey quite a bit on Saturday at ACS.

Again.

Joey, of course, took home the checkered flag after snaking his way through a wreck between Denny Hamlin and Greg Biffle and then making a heckuva restart on the ensuing green flag. But controversy from a lap 50 incident when it appeared that Biffle intentionally shoved Logano into the outside backstretch wall left his father seething after the race.

The older Logano apparently confronted Biffle on pit road after the race and NASCAR officials didn't seem to like it. Tom Logano had his hard card credential pulled by an official, meaning he'll have to apply each weekend for a credential until the hard card is restored.

It's not Tom Logano's first run-in with another driver, either. Back at Daytona in February, Logano wasn't happy with Robby Gordon after a wreck in the Budweiser Shootout that involved son Joey, and the pair had words.

Joey's just got to love the impression that his dad is the one that fights his battles, right?

Now is Joey an adult or is he still a kid? Seems to me that if Joey has problem with other drivers maybe he should grow a pair and stick up for himself.....I'm not so sure why a NASCAR driver needs Daddy to fight his battles for him.......

This isn't Little league or your local short track...this is the big time.......In my opinion Dad is not doing Joey any favors...if Joey wants some respect from his fellow drivers Dad needs to mellow out........

If Baja Bob stepped in everytime somebody put Robby into the wall in a NASCAR race...that would mean Baja Bob spent alot of time yelling at other drivers....

It's not an impression his Dad is fighting his battles...that's a fact..........

I wasn't aware Robby and Dad Lagano had words at Daytona......think that played into Robby's decision to chase his ass down on the road course?......I do...........

LOL picturing Baja Bob shouting at other drivers. Robby has the biggest balls on the track, Joey's are still growing. It's like King Kong vs. Curious George!

How long did Carl Edward's mom stand by his side at the track? She was in every picture, every pre and post race shot until he got married. The fact that he even had a fiance was a surprise. Joey's still a kid, but been racing long enough for daddy to understand the risks of the sport. But as a mother, I don't know how you can ever turn off that urge to protect your child. I still haven't, and my daughter is a 34 year old married mother of 3.

IMO, Kyle isn't much older then Joey and has taken some good hits in the car over his short career. I never saw any member of his family going to talk with anyone over an on track incident. I think NASCAR should have pulled daddy's creditials for the rest of the season. Also, Joey needs to learn you need to give a little to get a little on the track. Most rookies learn this the hard way as Joey is finding out.
