The spotter for Bubba Wallace had an issue with Joey Logano‘s comments after the NASCAR All-Star Race. On the Door Bumper Clear podcast, Freddie Kraft pointed out Logano’s hypocrisy for being angry about how he lost the race to Christopher Bell and the promoter’s caution.
“What the f**k,” Kraft began. “First of all, he was crying after the race about the caution that we all knew was coming. This is probably one of the most hypocritical things I’ve ever heard anybody say.”
Kraft was referring to Logano calling out Bell for his driving style during the final laps of the race. Bubba Wallace’s spotter gave Logano credit for being “the best defensive racer in our sport,” but also noted Logano would have done the same thing if the roles were reversed.
“It’s just funny for me,” Kraft said. “He gets out of the car. First of all, he’s mad about the caution… The roles were reversed. He was finally the best car and got beat by strategy or caution. But we all knew that caution was coming.”

At the All-Star Race, Joey Logano led 139 of the 250 laps. The promoter’s caution came out on Lap 216, and that’s when Christopher Bell made his move to the top. Logano stayed out during the caution, while Bell pitted for two tires. Bell pulled even with Logano at Lap 241 to eventually pass him after drifting out toward the wall.
“I’m pissed off right now,” Logano said after the race. “Just dang it, we had the fastest car. The Shell-Pennzoil Mustang was so fast. You get to … I’m trying to choose my words correctly on the caution situation. Obviously, I got bit by it, so I am the one frustrated.
“He did a great job of trying to keep me behind him, and I knew that once I got that run off Turn 4, it was like alright, I’m going to have to be a little more aggressive and kind of leaned on him and got him out of position,” Bell said. “I knew once I got the lead, I had the tire advantage so I should be able to cruise, and it worked out that way.”
