Kyle Petty tells Joey Logano not to whine about Richmond wreck: ‘We’ve seen you do it before’

Kyle Petty isn’t willing to listen to Joey Logano’s sour grapes after being wrecked by Austin Dillon coming to the checkered flag at Richmond over the weekend.

While Petty was willing to admit Logano out-drove Dillon to takeover the lead on the restart, the No. 3 bumping Logano out of the way on it’s way to the win isn’t something Petty decided to take an issue with, harkening back to Logano’s past of utilizing his chrome horn.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Richmond. Not really a lot to talk about, not . Quite an incredible race. I thought Austin Dillon drove one of the best races that I have ever seen him drive, until those last few laps. That’s a totally different story, and a totally different race, but he had a great car. But let’s go to the restart,” Petty explained . “We go to the restart, and we’ve got the No. 3 car of Austin Dillon on the inside, and oh, the No. 22 car of Joey Logano on the outside. Austin Dillon gets out-drove. He doesn’t get out-run, he gets out-drove on the restart.

“The great race that he had driven up to that point, throw it out the window, because now you beat Austin Dillon. You’ve got to do something drastic, and we saw him do something drastic. He comes from four or five car lengths back, going into Turn 3, on the final lap, he gets into Joey Logano and spins him.

“Don’t whine Joey Logano, we’ve seen you do it before. Denny Hamlin, he can’t say much either. They’ve done the same thing. The thing that bothered me was the coming off the corner and turning the No. 11 into the outside wall, Denny Hamlin. But, as I looked at it and went back and replayed it, I think it’s two guys fighting for the same position, two different angles. We know from geometry, when two lines intersect, we’re gonna have chaos, and that’s what happened.”

While Petty may have a point, as Logano and Denny Hamlin have shown they’ll do anything to win a race, that hasn’t changed the stance of numerous wheelmen when it comes to Dillon. You’re hard pressed to find many on his side, and many believe some payback is coming his way over the next couple of months.

As for the reception from the fans, Petty believes it’s easy to group the people who loved the finish, and the fans who weren’t exactly thrilled with how everything went down on Sunday.

“If you’re a new fan, you love that finish. And when I say new fan, last 25 years. If you’re an old fan, you’re embarrassed of that finish, because that’s not what NASCAR was built on, that’s not what NASCAR was,” Petty added . “I don’t care you millennials and all you people out there, this is not the platform that my dad or Dale Earnhardt Sr. and those guys raced on. They didn’t just wreck, they raced. This is all about wrecking in these last few laps.

“So, moving into the future, I guess it’s no holds barred, wild, wild west, anything goes. We’ll see. Congratulations. Austin Dillon, headed for the playoffs.”

Time will tell if Joey Logano or Denny Hamlin try to get some revenge on Austin Dillon, but Kyle Petty doesn’t believe they have a leg to stand on, as it pertains to their anger following Sunday’s race at Richmond.
