Joey Logano Calls Out JGR Firing on Winner's Stage | Kyle Larson Gets Looks After Pace Car Mishap
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2025
- Joey Logano pulled off the improbable on Sunday night and won the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series championship. Earning his third Cup trophy, the Team Penske driver joined elite company as only the 10th driver in the sport's 76-year history to have won three or more Cup titles. After the race and during the on-stage celebration, the 34-year-old spoke with NBC's Marty Snider about his day and what it all meant when he veered into his past and his "scary" departure from Joe Gibbs Racing.
Kyle Larson got called out on the radio by Tyler Reddick during the race in a bizarre scene when the pace car missed its turn onto pit road as the race was going back to green and sideswiped the sand-filled barrels causing a five-plus minute red-flag delay. For many, it evoked images of the Hendrick Motorsports driver doing something similar a year earlier at Homestead. His team radio discusses it.
Frankie Muniz is known for his acting. In Friday's Truck Series race, the 38-year-old changed his voice and went into character, playfully threatening to retaliate against William Sawalich in 2025 for a move that happened to him in the race. It's not the first time the driver has done this. It happened a few weeks earlier at Homestead.
Plus:
Kyle Busch unhappy on his radio.
Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, and Christopher Bell all have things to say during media availabilities.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
Martin Truex Jr. Helmet Giveaway
THANK YOU GUYS for a great 2024 NASCAR season!

MTJ... Logano just played the cards he was dealt. Great videos.
The next Jimmie Johnson.
@@iankhan4614 I said the same thing
MTJ
Logano has a way of growing on Ya..........
Do you think the hard hit at Pocono is what led JJ to be let go by HMS ? @@iankhan4614
@mjparts0384 he's capable of equaling Jimmie Johnson.
Hi Kyle. Ive been following you for about 8 (ish) months now and i just wanted to congratulate you on your channels growth and success. Is clear that you have an obvious and unfetted passion for Nascar, and that comes out in the way you cover the stories.You're fair, impartial, and too the point. Congradulations, man. I wish you all the success in the world moving forward.
MTJ As a Blaney fan I was really hoping for a repeat. However, I was glad to see the Captain get his 3rd Cup in a row and a 1-2 finish. I completely agree with C. Bell's thoughts about Martinsville and the race manipulation that was going on. Can't wait to check out the new channel! As an older guy there should be a lot of memories there for me!
Highlight of the whole weekend was Justin A's Championship after all these years. And the 2yr extension was a nice surprise! Seeing Kelley and Jr going nuts for Justin was historic shit man, beautiful. And the way he did it?
MTJ, Lagano and the Gibbs comment was AWESOME!!!!
Saw MTJ win at Charlotte in 2016 and 2019. Happy I got to see him win at least once before he retired. Great video recap of all races at Phoenix!
MTJ. Just recently found your show, enjoyed it!
Some people fold under pressure. JL just seems to not let it get to him and that translates to his team who feed off his confidence. Congrats to the team.
It’s weird seeing how much stories came to an end this race, MTJ retirement, Busch’s streak ending, and SHR shutting down.
And Bobby Allison passing
MTJ - How about a story about the "Alabama Gang" since Bobby Allison has passed, leaving 92 year old Red Farmer as the last member surviving.
Uh… Donnie?
Bill is a Newbie, let's cut him some slack @Ultegra10SPD
There's probably some videos out there about them. Kyle is going to be busy with his new channel
congrats to joey lagano good job
Congrats to suckiness for getting to NASCAR.😢
He did not deserve the championship.
MTJ is a great driver, I’m really gonna miss him. I had always been a Jeff Gordon fan but when he retired I went more towards MTJ, and love how he stood by and supported his girlfriend all those years
Christopher Bell is 100% correct. How can NASCAR take away his championship 4 spot when multiple drivers blocked him from advancing and didn’t allow anyone from passing Byron? It ruined the end of this season.
Bell Revenge Inbound
Bell then ran into Byron late in the race, so he got his revenge.
@ not nearly enough
The Chevy drivers maintain race speed Wallace got totally out of the gas and Bell stayed in the gas all of all the wall Bell broke the race rules the Chevy drivers didn’t.
@ chastain couldve wiped his ass with byron if he wanted to, check the smt, both bells and chastains, bell in car shows him fighting to get off the wall. Chevy did not meet 100% rule by chastain not passing a clearly dropping byron.
People aren’t unhappy with Logano winning because it was improbable. It’s because he wasn’t even a top ten car all season. It seems like people keep saying things like “people just don’t like him” or whatever, but the truth is pretty obvious. Dude just didn’t belong in a championship battle. I guess it’s more like people aren’t understanding or at least not liking that the championship isn’t what it used to be. Champion used to mean ‘best this year’ and now it’s just a weird tournament thing that involves lots of luck and circumstance. It seems pretty indisputable that the championship is less meaningful than it used to be.
Johnson was the same way if it wasn’t for the playoff he would only have 3 and Gordon would have 7 harbors would have 3
Joey won four races this year and would have won five if Dillon didn't wreck him.
@ I know.
@@TammyBurden-s4g If the dog had not stopped to crap, he may have caught the rabbit. Coulda woulda shoulda
@@joe-g5h3b coulda shoulda did, just to be clear. 😂
Instantly thought of “days of thunder” when the pace car hit the barriers.. “ hit the pace car you hit everything else out there I want you to be perfect “ as it looked like Chase Elliott hit him from behind at first 😂
I’m surprised that Logano mentioned something that happened 13 years ago.
My wife was always a Huge NASCAR Fan back when I meet her in 1972 …
My decision to listen to my wife and God first and foremost allowed me to be where I am today !!!
A God Fearing Man that Listens to a woman of Faith and the rest is History 🙂.
MTJ, good luck on the new channel, this channel to me is one of the best for NASCAR news.
MTJ... Joey's, like most Ford drivers', was really a tale of two seasons. For the first half of the year, Ford teams were at a clear disadvantage outside of superspeedways. Once they got things sorted out, they were able to compete on more equal footing with the Chevy and Toyota teams on a wider variety of tracks, spending more time running in the top ten. I suspect that if Penske and other Ford teams had a full season with a competitive car, the final numbers would have looked quite a bit different.
Agree!
Congratulations. You have one of the BEST channels for NASCAR coverage and analysis. Good luck with the new channel. MTJ is a real racer and one of the best at racing clean. As a Jersey Boy in the south, he proved we can do it just as good in the Northeast. MTJ ALL THE WAY!
MTJ, Good luck on the new channel!
Great observations during the championship race @ Phoenix, Thanks MTJ .
MTJ I'm so happy that Justin Algier finally won an xfinity championship. Love the content you put out!
Mtj not a Logan’s fan at all but I think he derives credit for winning, it’s his job to use the system to his advantage.
Good job on the reporting...Thank you.
So happy for Justin
MTJ one of the last.
True, drivers out there who gave more than he took .True, champion all the way through. Wish him the best and I'm glad he's coming back for select races. Waycool.I've been watching you this whole seasian.Pretty R.T.
Thanks, MTJ it's been a pleasure.
I personally have been a Martin Truex fan for just as long as my wife has been a Joey Logano fan …
To me it may not be a Trifecta , but it is pleasantly surprising and unexpected in my lifetime 👀.
I wanna thank you for good recaps, no click bait titles.
MTJ - Thanks for the videos. Look forward to your new channel.
Thank you!
MTJ. Just found your channel recently and enjoy hearing your take on things. I personally think the playoff format leaves a lot to be desired. I particularly dislike having only one race as the final. And I think the regular season champion should have an automatic place in at least the Round of 8, if not an automatic place in the final four.
MTJ. It was a good race weekend and can say that I wasn't surprised by any of the wins. Wish Bell or Bowman wouldn't have been kicked out of the playoffs that way to give Logano a chance to win in the even year of 2024, but that's just how the cookie crumbles. Great Video!!!
MTJ. Really looking forward to your new channel Kyle. As for Logano, he is very deserving of this championship. He, like everyone else, played by the same rules. Very happy for Allgiaer. And thank you Kyle for your smart take on NASCAR in general. I really enjoy your take on the sport.
You’re a pleasure to watch. Ty for all the great work you do !
Bell is 100% correct
But he is also guilty of doing the EXACT SAME THING in 04. Soooo. Cry cry cry
The Chevy drivers were in the wrong but so was Bell. That’s why he was penalized. Just because someone else does wrong doesn’t mean you should also. He knew he drove against the fence after the race, you could see it in his face. He is a good driver he will be back. Just wish it would be in a Chevy or Ford.
Another good season with beaten and banging. Looking forward to watching your new channel as well. Thanks for everything and can't wait for next season with beaten and banging
People mad at Logano but he just did what he could in the format given. I think JGR will win soon but it probably won’t be Ty. MTJ
Looking forward to the new channel!
I’ve never been a fan of this playoff format but Joey Logano just played the game better than the other 3 period! The shenanigans that happened these last couple months is just part of this playoff format and they will always be there! MTJ will be missed, he’s a great driver, had a long career and is a class act! Thanks for all your thoughts and footage all year long, great stuff Sir!
Logan’s not the champion you think or wish him to be, played the game period, whatever. Most pathetic championship in the cup series
who said I liked him? It’s the way it is, nothing we can do about it!
MTJ and thank you for the coverage and opportunity.
Be blessed! 🙏
Kyle, you are truly a great sports newscaster. You have given us viewers a “very good summary” on the last race of the year. I watched the race with a “steno pad” divided into four columns - one for each of the “Final-4”. I had my iPhone, iPad, MacPro and HP all running covering the race from “in-car”. It was an exciting race, especially at the end where Ryan Blaney had the speed, but these Gen-7 cars are so equal, passing to catch Joey burned up his tires.
A week ago I wrote down my predictions; Winner Joey, as that team is laser-focussed. Ryan Blaney would somehow break. William Bryon would just not be fast enough, and Tyler Reddick and team would stumble. I got pretty close on my predictions. My dear wife compliment me that I was truly a “fan of the sport”. I was humbled by her kind comments.
I say all that to say that your description here today of the race, not only helped me “relive” the race once again, but ADDED to the final championship race for me. Thank you so much for all the work, studying and preparation that you put into this “replay” of this great race.
Oh, so many storylines. I am not sure even where to begin but let start with here. Joey played by the rules and won, fair and square. (This coming from a Mellon Man fan.) Joey is not my favourite driver for sure, but he and every person at Penske simply out raced, out planned, out prepared, and out strategized all the competition, including their 2023 champion teammate. Joey’s story is similar to Justin Alligaier story, and what a story Justin brought. Justin is one of my “faves”. I was cheering for him on Saturday, and boy he sure did not make it easy for himself. I loved Justin’s, “key the JAWS music”. I watched his car, thread that finish and win the championship. Oh how exciting it was. What a deserving champion. So to is Joey a deserving champion - he won playing by the rules and out raced them all.
The championship started with 16. Yes, Kyle Larson had 6 wins, but he also had 50 playoff points to give him an advantage in “this system” of crowning the “best”. Kyle, and all the others, simply, over the 10 races, were NOT the best - they faltered, and the best, Joey Lagono got better and better. Like you, Kyle, after Bowman et al, couldn’t get their weights right, Joey getting back in, was all that Penske.org needed to repent, and “put right their stride” and shut down all the naysayers with what we all watched that team do!! It was amazing. If Kyle Larson was the best, why did he not win? When the race really counted, and the pressure was truly ON, it was Joey Lagono and team that was up for not being rattled, and NOT Kyle Larson and team. Winning is VERY difficult! Winning when you have to is even harder. Kyle Larson was up for it, but Joey Lagono was.
This is already long so I won’t go much more but to say there are many, many stories that are quite significant to the futures of NASCAR, drivers and teams, to the fans…..2025 is going to be a year of change like no other in recent memory. NASCAR will not look the same at all. I hope our sport can survive and we can show the world the very best of our talent to the greatest number of eyes. That the world has more respect for NASCAR and the choices it makes for itself, the teams, the drivers and the fans. May they not lose their way as they grow into this AI digitized Age.
Thank you so much Kyle, you truly made my recap of Sunday’s race GREAT!
I look forward to your new channel as I know I will learn about sports that I know nothing about, through yours “eyes upon the past”, and become a new fan.
May I be the surprise winner of MTJ’s helmet. LOL 😂
MTJ
Jim
Please learn to spell this is terrible trying to read
MTJ, I’m looking forward to your other channel, I always wonder what happened to so many of the athletes we used to see, and the stories they have, thank you for everything!
MTJ.. And he was my fav for many years when he drove for Furniture Row in my home city Denver, only team outside of NC i believe. Really enjoy your videos!
NASCAR has turned into a big joke so now they got a joke for a champion
The format was made for inconsistent bums. The championship is almost meaningless now and the hall of fame is compromised.
Couldn’t agree more
MTJ . Great coverage and reviews !! 👍🏼
Thanks so much!
MTJ Thanks for keeping us informed all season!
I’m looking forward to the new channel - it’s a great idea! Congrats MTJ.
Good luck with the new channel. Let's go MTJ!
MTJ. Good luck on new channel..looking for to it. Congratulations Joey 😊
MTJ I hope some of the new drivers take a hard look at Martin's respect and learn how drive like a man. I also love your take on things happening in the sport.
MTJ, Love your channel and good luck with your new one.
MTJ Thanks Martin for all the memories! Congrats to Joey, 3 time champ is a big deal! I hope Hamlin can turn it around next season and I sure hope Chris Buescher pulls off another Watkins Glen finish!
Congratulations of your 15th place champion NASCAR. The playoff format should not be here. The fans don't like it, and it does not reward consistency year around.
MTJ It seems like most of the issues NASCAR has had to adjudicate lately are side effects of the playoff system. Real competition has been stymied in so many ways, (stage racing, playoffs, manufacturer influence) that it feels less and less like a real sport every season. I'm not a big Joey fan, but congrats for exposing the shortcomings of a championship that rarely recognizes the best performers.
Thank you so much for you content. 👍
MTJ
Flashback ideas. - The guy Woody Hayes punched.-The PI flag in the Miami/OSU NC game that gave OSU another shot at winning.-Christian Laettner's Dream Team Experience - Larry Brown's Super Bowl MVP - Jeff Gordon's 17 Top 5s in a row. Ended by a rain shortened race that he probably would have won. I was not a Gordon fan, but that is still one of the most amazing records in sports. -Not 20 years, but Flutie's drop kick. Getting the inside story from everyone would be cool. - Texas beating Nebraska in the 1st Big 12 Championship with James Brown fake handoff to Ricky Williams and a roll out pass and long gain on 4th down to seal the win. - 85 Villanova Wildcats - 1983 Daigerfield, Texas Tigers HS Football team. Record 16-0. Outscored opponents 631 to 8 and the 8 points was a single score from a higher classification team, the extra point was blocked and a safety. 13 shutouts in a row. 0 points allowed in district play and 0 points allowed in the playoffs. They averaged 39 points per game almost exclusively running and allowed on average a half a point per game. Look them up. - Flo-Jo's record breaking performances and the still standing records and controversy.
Wow! Love the ideas! Thank you!
MTJ Love your channel, looking forward to your new channel!
MTJ...new listener here, love the content!
MTJ. I like that Bell called it like it went. Great radio moments.
Logano earned it on the restart, one of his best of his career, by getting by both Larson and Elliott to set off on Byron. 17th place average finish or not he was second in wins with 4 and won 3 of the last 10 races. Best over the last 10 races.
Going to miss MTJ! Always a class act on and off the racetrack!
MTJ. Outstanding reporting Fair Balanced and it covers all the Bases . Being criticized is a form of flattery. Keep up the Great Work you’re doing. Looking forward to the story of the five broken vertebrae. Thanks M T J
God Bless All Humanity 🙏.
MTJ..Thanks for all your hard work covering the sport!
I'm a Larson fan. he is my top driver. But my hats off to Joey. He did it right at the right time. Congrats Joey!
I keep telling Her that if you Dream Big …. Big Things will Happen 🇺🇸…
Didn't hear Bell mention the 23's mysterious problem that let him pass, but the bottom line is if he didn't ride the wall he would be in.
The biggest travesty of this format is the fastest driver all year wasn't in the final 4.
MTJ thanks for all the great memories!
I remember Joey 16 years old racing hooters rousch etc
MTJ and KFB - Would have been fun to see either finish with a win in Phoenix...
Cool announcement about your new channel.
MTJ
MTJ
Christopher is saying that “Their cheating made us cheat! They started it!”
MTJ.... Loved seeing the 7 get it done in the Xfinity series
Great Show MTJ
This channel has become a fav of mine throughout the season.
I do have one questions, does nascar care about the recordings of live scanners for your videos?
keep up the nice work and I hope to hear more from you next year. Enjoy the offseason.
My thanks for all you do your Aaron clear clean announcer keep it up
I was very noticeable seeing Martin once again,...HAPPY,....and like a huge weight lifted.
Mtj- love the videos. Agree with Bell totally. Love the xfinity championship
mtj Thank you for reminding me about Kyle in the barrels.......... laughed my ass off!!
Going into the race at Phoenix, I knew that Team Penske had at least a 65% chance at winning the title, based on their past performances over the last two years, and I was right. I DID NOT want Byron to win, as he cheated his way into the championship. I am happy for Logano, but I would've EQUALLY have been happy for Blaney as he ALSO was deserving of the title! What a showdown at the end of the race!
MTJ - Keep up the great Nascar content starting in Feb '25
Blaney is such a whiney baby. Was Larson supposed to move over for him??
They are all whiney babies.
Sometimes but Larson is also a straight clown and wrecking ball. No class at all.
Maybe, maybe not but a little respect would have been nice.
Joey Champion again love it
MTJ!!!!! Will greatly miss seeing Martin at the racetrack on a regular basis in 2025😢 Wish him the very best💕. Totally agree with C. Bell....glad he was brave enough to speak up👏🏻. Happy with Logano's win!
Very good recap .
When the Pace car hit the sand barrels I actually thought of another incident: Jain Pablo Montoya hitting the jet dryer at Daytona in 2012!
Speaking of which, theirs a story/ topic for your new UA-cam channel!!!! 😊
Yep, I think that would be a good vedio too..I sure remember the FIRE it caused!
Thanks for the Championship weekend recap. MTJ
MTJ...YOUR THE MAN..Looking forward to your new channel.....
Just found your channel and it’s great! MTJ
Let me get that Truex helmet ❤
I don’t like the Championship race being at Phoenix. Terrible race.
Phoenix is a skill based track. Im guessing thats why you dont like it..
MTJ. Thanks to NASCAR for all of the quirks that made the 2024 season such fun to watch. Contrats to Joey Logano for his 3rd Championship. And Thanks to Beating and Banging for all of your "news that is news" content. Finally, Best Wishes on your new endeavor... I'll be watchin'.
Thank you!
MTJ, thanks for being the person you are.
Congrats Justin well deserved, Class act
I totally agree with you about Fox not sending the booth to the race. They have cameras and pit reporters there . I just don’t understand 😏. MTJ
MTJ. Joey is a great champion.
Logano earned his way into the playoffs and stomped the competition once he got there. Everyone had the same opportunity.
Earned his way you mean given
@raymondhoffman4371 By winning his way to the final 4 and winning the race.
The race was rigged by the auto makers! Cars that win on Sunday, sell on Monday! But 90% of the nascar audience can't afford 75,000 dollar mustang! Ford is on the brink of bankruptcy! 95,000 dollar broncos are not sell, trucks 100,000 aren't selling! Joe and Blaney cars had way more horsepower than the rest of the field! The Chevrolet and Toyota sounded like they were computer cut back. The ford's definitely were manipulate in the fuel injection system! I was sitting in the start finish area and I could definitely hear the difference. Especially when the cars are all supposed to be equal! The penski cars run 10 more laps than all the other field! It's a illegitimate operation! I only own two Fords, 1966 mustang and a in 1990 f-150 never again! Ford stock is way low! Sell!
Win on Sunday , sell on Monday ended a very long time ago.
Delusional
MTJ FOREVER! THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS ALL YEAR 👍👍👐
MTJ - Great NASCAR update!
