Joey Logano Triggers Big One At Talladega, Falls Below Cut Line
1 month agoJoey Logano had an unexpectedly disappointing run at Talladega on Sunday, although most people expected much more from him, especially after his win at Atlanta. Although Logano was one of the dominant drivers for most of Stage 3, making seven on-track passes for the lead in an epic duel with his teammate Austin Cindric and previous No. 22 car driver A.J. Allmendinger, he arguably triggered the Big One by bumping former teammate Brad Keselowski into his current teammate Cindric, which wrecked nearly the entire field and relegated Logano to a 33rd-place finish. It dropped him 13 points below the cut line because he shockingly failed to score any stage points. Since Tyler Reddick and Chase Elliott, the last two drivers above the cut line, are two of the best road racers in the business, it's hard to imagine Logano overcoming that.
