Debate: Was Joey Logano’s Martinsville move the right one?

Back in physics class we learned that according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. But we didn't need a physics class to see that law set into motion on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. When Joey Logano decided to move Martin Truex Jr. out of the way in Turns 3 and 4 on the final lap of the First Data 500, there was plenty of action in the form of one of the most exciting finishes this year. And then came the reaction, when Truex got out of his car and delivered a blistering post-race interview in which he said Logano might have won that battle, but he wouldn't win the war -- meaning perhaps more fireworks would erupt before the 2018 NASCAR Playoffs are over and done with. RELATED: Watch the final lap | Logano's reaction Did Logano make the right move when he had "money" on the mind in going for the Championship 4-clinching win? Or should he have had Newton on the mind instead and played it safer? NASCAR.com's RJ Kraft and George Winkler debate whether Joey Logano's move at Martinsville was the right one. KRAFT: I don't have any issue with Logano's move -- but frankly, Truex should have expected it from the driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford. Logano showed his playbook for such situations three years ago at Kansas when he turned Matt Kenseth for the lead late in the race. While I liked the fire from Truex post-race, he should have initiated contact a few laps earlier. Drivers talk a lot about racing opponents how they race others, and past history should have told Truex how Logano would drive on the final lap.

In his post-race comments on Sunday, he certainly did not sound like a driver who had learned something from the 2015 incident with Kenseth. At Homestead last year, Kyle Busch felt that Logano held him up as he was fighting to get closer to Truex and a shot at the 2017 championship -- which Truex ultimately won. Should Truex not make it back to the Championship 4, I would expect the 78 will try to do something similar to impact Logano's race. He may not outright retaliate, but there will be plenty of gamesmanship to try and trip Logano up.

If anyone knows how fleeting a chance at a championship can be, it's Logano, who arguably had the most dominant car in 2015 but could not finish the deal. When you have your opportunity in this sport, you have to go for it. Plus, over and over again we've seen how NASCAR is a contact sport. It's part of the sport's DNA for there to be some physical racing in the playoffs. This is especially true on short tracks like Martinsville. Truex's reaction seemed to be more a case of him being in the heat of the moment than anything else. After further reflection, he probably will come to his senses and realize that racing like this is just part of the game, toeing the line but not quite going over it. Logano will just need to keep an eye on his rearview mirror from here to Homestead.
