MIAMI (AP) – As the youngest driver in NASCAR’s championship race, Joey Logano hasn’t been in the same high-stakes situations as his other three competitors.
Seeing an opportunity to maybe rattle his cage, Kevin Harvick pounced.
Harvick poked at Logano during Wednesday night’s championship kickoff news conference when the four drivers were asked how they were approaching Sunday’s finale. The Sprint Cup title will go to the highest finishing driver among Harvick, Logano, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman.
Before Logano could explain his approach, Harvick interrupted him and accused him of blocking at Talladega to help teammate Brad Keselowski win the race.
“I thought you were going to say you were going to send Brad out to be a moving chicane like you were at Talladega,” Harvick said.
