Joey Logano confronted ex-teammate Denny Hamlin after the Food City 500 Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway following an incident between the two on the track.
Logano was challenging Jeff Gordon for the lead on lap 348 when Hamlin nudged him. Logano’s No. 22 car went into the wall and spun out. Logano managed to get back into the top 10 despite getting spun out by Hamlin. He finished 17th while Hamlin finished 23rd.
After the race, Logano, who was teammates with Hamlin at Joe Gibbs Racing from 2009-2012, confronted Hamlin by the 11 car.
“I meant to run into him,” Hamlin told FOX’s Matt Yocum. “I didn’t mean to spin him out, but his day was fine. He still had a bad day, anyway, for whatever reason. We finished bad and he finished bad. It’s even.”
Hamlin also says Logano told him he was “coming for” him.
Logano kept the details of his conversation with Hamlin private, though he did tweet at Hamlin and receive a response:

Hamlin and Logano also exchanged tweets after the Daytona 500, but nothing was as personal as the shot Hamlin fired at the youngster:
Last time I checked he had my cell and direct message button to choose from if he’s got a problem.. Otherwise hush little child

Oh yeah, this beef is not ending any time soon.
