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?

I can hear Joey, "Dad, since my balls have not dropped yet can you please tell Greg to stop Biff'ing me on the track.." ... haha

Uh,title is misleading. It gives the impression that he had words with RG at Fontana too. Can you change it please?

I don't think Joey is going to be missing any sleep due to this. His career is actually on the up swing.

So you want to make fun of and flame a dad for not controlling his anger. Just 2 weeks after his kid had one of the most horrific wrecks and walked away from it. A douche bag says he's gonna wreck the kid, then does it. Are you trying to imply YOU would not have done something about it? What kind of father are you? For that matter, what kind of human being are you?

Why did you leave out relevant facts of the story?
The fact that Biffle announced over the team radio that he was going to take out young Lagano moments before actually doing it. The fact that NASCAR is actually investigating, reviewing the tapes and Biffle may be penalized. Why? Because the facts don't support your pitiful attempt to make Tom Logano look like a fool.

And what about NASCAR? They don't come out too good here either. Looking more like an over-reacting school principle.

Complete agreeance.

California is one of the fastest tracks on the schedule. There is no friendly way to push someone into the wall and if Biffle had pulled the exact move on RG people here would be calling for his head and threatening to take his head themselves.

Loganos father apologized for his actions. Said he was 100% out of line. But seriously,racing is a dangerous buisness all on it's own without the intentional stuff.
