Did Joey Logano fire Hailie Deegan from her Xfinity Series ride?
Wow, that’s quite a leap. For starters, Deegan and her AM Racing Xfinity Series team may have mutually decided to separate ways. You never know for certain. The intrigue began when the team switched Deegan with Logano for Saturday’s race in Chicago, and the two-time Cup champion finished eighth with a team that had never finished higher than 15th all season and was generally much worse.
You shouldn’t compare a seasoned champ like Joey to an Xfinity rookie like Hailie, but Joey did sorta show that the No. 15 can run better than it had been.
Meanwhile, Deegan’s marketing appeal suggests she’ll get at least one more shot, and a lot of folks hope it’s a better all-around fit and definitely hope for better results. If not, she wouldn’t be first driver to come and go.
Bubba Wallace waited all that time to door-slam Alex Bowman?
Yep, through rain delays, cautions, and into the “cool down” lap before broadsiding Bowman in retaliation for Bowman crashing Bubba out of contention earlier — a mistake Bowman admitted and apologized for after the fact.
As we’ve seen on several occasions, Bubba isn’t shy or afraid to gather the spotlight, so delivering a hefty blow to Bowman’s winning car wasn’t exactly off-brand for Bubba. Bowman basically said he deserved it, so that might be the end of this.
Maybe it could’ve been handled earlier, and it definitely could’ve been handled later … but that’s no fun, is it?
