Short-track racing always seems to lead to some tempers. On Sunday night in Richmond, both Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin have good reason to let their tempers show. On the last lap of Sunday's Cook Out 400, Logano held the race lead over Austin Dillon. Dillon, needing a win to make the NASCAR playoffs, drove into Turn 3 as hard as he could. What happened next was a finish that will undoubtedly go down in NASCAR history, but not for a good reason.

Here is what drivers had to say after Sunday night’s Cup race at Richmond Raceway. Austin Dillon — Winner: “That is a first, but it feels good when you get a win. After the season we had, the good Lord above just blessed us today. We had a fast No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevy, and I hated to see that caution come out. I knew it was going to be wild and coming to the last corner, I just had to go for it. It was our opportunity; you don’t get many of those and that is what our partners, my family and RCR wants us to do, is to go and try to get a win. So, I just had to send it.”

What drivers said after Austin Dillon’s victory at Richmond Raceway

RICHMOND, Va. – With his driver knocked from of the lead on the last lap, crew chief Paul Wolfe called foul on winner Austin Dillon and called on NASCAR to do something. “It’s just a joke to call that racing anymore,” Wolfe told Motor Racing Network’s Chris Wilner. “And at some point, it’s up to NASCAR to step up and set the precedent. What’s acceptable? And to call that acceptable, I don’t know how anyone that has watched racing for any amount of time can. To put in all the hard work and all the effort and money and what goes into this. It was a tough race, and something like that, that’s not racing. And at some point, NASCAR is going to have to make the right call on these things. And they missed it tonight with allowing that and giving that car the win.
