Jeanette: I don’t have to eat my words. All I said in the post was that Logano needed to have a short memory after the Dover crash, because a scared driver is an ineffective driver. Just like the afforementioned Rusty Wallace, he came out the next week and proved he wasn’t afraid. Kudos to Joey.

Just finished watching the Nationwide Kansas race. TC, I love ya, but you’ll have to eat your words on this one. Joey showed that, according to your definition he IS fearless. He came back to win his very next race. And, I might add, he did it with what could be considered a risky pass on the outside of the Shrub. I’d also point out that he said in another interview that it actually gives him MORE confidence knowing that he can do this stuff and walk away thanks to all of the safety improvements that NASCAR has put into effect. GO JOEY!!!

He has since said that, if anything, it will help him, now he knows just how safe the cars are. Nothing but a sore neck, and he gets that with most wrecks. The boy will be fine.

I think that if there had been no media around and hence no quote, it would just be another wreck.
However, I cant for the life of me think why an intelligent person would strap in a race car and race at Talladega! Knowing that there is a better than 50-50 chance of being in “the big one” is not smart. So maybe JL is going to be one of the smart guys that don’t get involved in a wreck, or he is going to just switch it all off and just remember the bank account size.
That’s where you find out who are the “good” guys and why they are special.

Why not name the drivers who you think let a wreck mess them up? They probably already know it anyway. Besides, it’s only an opinion.

He’ll be ok but WE wont.

That’s all they will be talking about during this weeks broadcast. I’m betting we’ll see last weeks wreck 4 times before the race starts.

Of course it scared the hell out of him. Geeze, it shook up Tony Stewart and he was just watching it.

It was an honest emotion and a recounting of what he was feeling during the incident. He didn’t say “I’m scared”, he said “It scared the hell out of me” – past tense.

Joey will be fine and probably LESS fearful on the track for having gone through this, IMO.

I read on another site where a writer questioned why the 20 team did not patch-up Logano’s car after the Dover wreck so he could cut some laps. But from my HD-TV view, it appeared that the roll cage was compromised, and my guess is, that NASCAR declared the wrecked car unsafe to drive any more that race.

If Logano was past 35 with a wife and kids (and maybe an ex-wife or two), this wreck would have probably messed him up for a while. But being just 19 or 20 with no dependents, I think the kid is a real racer at heart, thus he should be able to shake this off by the next race.
