Joey Logano Warns NASCAR It Is Flirting With Disaster at Certain Tracks
Joey Logano started 12th in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. By the end of the first stage, the three-time champion had moved up a couple of spots and finished 10th. And that's when things took an unexpected turn. During the stage break pit stop, Logano and Josh Berry were simultaneously attempting to exit their pit boxes on the narrow pit road, when the No. 21, which was on the outside, hit the passing No. 5 car of Kyle Larson, ricocheted back to the left and hit the No. 22, sending both cars for a synchronized spin. On Tuesday, Logano made his weekly appearance on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, talked about the incident and was asked if he would like to see pit road widened at the 1.5-mile track. 'I don't know what their plans are as far as renovations down there, but I would put that as the No. 1 priority," Logano said. "Not because of the wreck on pit road but because of the safety risk for the pit crew. Like we are flirting with disaster on that pit road and nobody wants to see that at all." .@joeylogano talked on @SiriusXMNASCAR about his incident with @joshberry on pit road at @HomesteadMiami and said @NASCAR is flirting with disaster. — Kyle Dalton (@kdsportswriter) March 25, 2025 A few minutes later, after discussing the dangers pit crew members regularly face, the Team Penske driver talked about a possible solution besides widening pit road. 'I don't know like even if you slow down the pit road speed, which is probably the easiest thing to do, it still doesn't really fix the problem, right?" he said. "Josh and I weren't even up to pit road speed when we went spinning around. I was just getting going. So yeah, it's kind of a scary, sketchy thing. I feel like we're flirting with disaster on that one. We're definitely playing with fire.' Interestingly, Logano said Gateway is also dangerous because it's the most narrow pit road on the circuit.
