Joey Logano escaped a frightening Talladega crash uninjured after his car flipped onto its roof and slid along the track. He said he was “happy to be alive,” praised NASCAR’s safety team and car, and declined to blame other drivers for the wreck.

By the Numbers
  • Logano’s car slid upside down for hundreds of feet.
  • He spent a couple of minutes inverted before crews turned the car upright.
  • Ross Chastain finished fourth after receiving the free pass.
Yes, But

Logano said he was physically fine, but the crash was frightening: he saw fuel leaking, couldn’t use his radio and briefly worried he might not be able to get out of the car. He said neither Chastain nor Carson Hocevar was to blame, describing the wreck as part of the risks of superspeedway racing.

Bottom Line

Logano walked away from a violent crash, underscoring how much driver safety depends on the car and the track’s emergency response—even when a wreck leaves a driver trapped and exposed to leaking fuel.
