Kyle Busch and Joey Logano mixed it up on pit road following the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Contact on the final lap led Busch to confront Logano after they exited their cars, and things escalted quickly. A handful of drivers and NASCAR Nation members took to Twitter to share their views after the fracas, including Logano, himself.
We about crashed and I was trying to save it. Nothing intentional on my end. Had another fast Ford all day. Proud of this 22 team.

I have never really beat the shit out of a guy, but me @TonyStewart and our crew chiefs had a fun brawl in the NASCAR hauler once. 1999 https://t.co/7wMD7p7Ia5

Yep. When you are mad you do stuff like that. But no matter how justified/pissed you feel, maybe it’s best to do it off camera. https://t.co/BVLga4AWBb

IMO-Fighting in Motorsport is dumb. It always turns into a pile and your own guys hit each other.
At least in hockey they are good at it. ud83eudd23 https://t.co/BFThD7cN57

Make all crews stay behind pit wall for 10 min post race before going to the cars or drivers. https://t.co/AkDbtslM8D

What separates racing from other sports is the intensity for EVERY position. Remember Kyle & Joey were not racing for the win. Points matter
