Brad Keselowski is being blamed for causing the biggest wreck in NASCAR Cup Series history, but he says it’s not all his fault.
Keselowski bumped into Austin Cindric on lap 184 of the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on Sunday. The bump caused Cindric to spin out, and most of the field was caught up in the wreck — 28 cars in total.
Though Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for RFK Racing bumped Cindric’s No. 2 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Team Penske, Keselowski says Joey Logano had bumped him to cause the issue.
“Joey was pushing me. Nothing I could do there,” Keselowski said of Logano, who was on his bumper.
Logano was all over the back bumper of Keselowski which pushed Keselowski into Cindric and crated a huge wreck.
Keselowski said "Joey was pushing me. Nothing I could do there." It's hard to argue with that. Late-race superspeedway racing where the give-and-take is gone. https://t.co/y7jhdVEDXe

If you look at the replay, you can see that Logano indeed was on Keselowski’s tail and pushing the No. 6 Ford.

Regardless of who was responsible, seeing Logano and Keselowski involved was a familiar sight for fans.
