Logano clears air on dustup with Danica

"We've actually talked about it since then and I feel like we’ve come to a good conclusion of what happened there," Logano said Tuesday during the Eliminator Round Media Day for the eight remaining drivers in this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

"That's in the past; that's in the mirror and we'll move forward."

Patrick (Stewart-Haas Racing) had restarted 10th in the Bank of America 500 at CMS following the fifth caution of the race. A few laps later, the yellow was out again after the two made contact, sending Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet into the wall.

After telling her crew she'd "just love to go out and take him out," Patrick acknowledged that retaliation at that point was worthless since Logano was already guaranteed to advance to the next round of the Chase thanks to his win at Kansas, the week before.

Patrick eventually finished 26th, three laps down to race winner, and teammate, Kevin Harvick. Logano placed fourth.

"It was a racing deal," Logano said of the incident. "She got cleared, I agree, (I) saw it happen; I was right there on the edge of it. It was one of those points I think we were both being very aggressive. She was going to try to take the spot and come down across me and I probably should have (given) at that point and I didn't. I drove into the corner wanting the spot, too. When two people want the same thing, sometimes it doesn't work.

"I told her really in all honesty I probably should have backed out in that situation. We're moving on from there."

Patrick is in her second full season of Sprint Cup competition and enters Sunday's Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 (ESPN, 1:30 p.m. ET) 27th in the points standings.

Logano, in his second year driving the Team Penske No. 22 Ford, has five victories this season, including two in the Chase. He is one eight drivers looking to advance out of the Eliminator Round and move on to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Championship Round, where four drivers will compete for this year's title.
