CHARLOTTE, N.C.–NASCAR on Wednesday declined to penalize Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, or their crews for their post-race scuffle at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday.
The hard racing for position led to Busch confronting Logano after the race and throwing a punch.
Busch was knocked to the ground by Team Penske crew members and cut his forehead in the scuffle.
“The emotions of our athletes run high, and Kyle Busch and Joey Logano are two of the most passionate and competitive drivers in the sport,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice-president and chief racing development officer.
“Both competitors are very clear on our expectations going forward, and we will be meeting with them in person prior to practice on Friday in Phoenix,” he added.
Logano told FoxSports1 on Tuesday that he and Busch have spoken since the incident.
“Obviously, we didn’t speak much there, so I got a chance to call him up earlier . . . to be able to talk to him a little bit and at least tell my side of the story,” Logano said.
