NASCAR
NASCAR is opening an investigation into what caused Joey Logano to take off and flip during a crash at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. Though the 2018 Cup Series champion walked away unharmed, NASCAR senior vice president of competition Scott Miller said Monday that they are continuing to work on preventing future occurrences.
Logano flipped following contact between Ricky Stenhouse and Denny Hamlin, which sent Hamlin into Logano, lifting him off the ground and over Bubba Wallace. Logano was frustrated as the roof of his car was pressed against his helmet and had Wallace hit Logano, it could have produced a similar result to the incident that hospitalized Ryan Newman on the final lap of the 2020 Daytona 500.
