"I got a problem with you"- Joey Logano confronts Dale Earnhardt Jr. for his "salesman" remark in the Netflix docuseries

Team Penske driver Joey Logano has struck back at Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s comments about the former in the Netflix docuseries "Full Speed".

Netflix launched their NASCAR-based series "Full Speed" shortly before the start of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series on February 4. The docuseries, which consists of five episodes, delves deeper into the lives of the drivers, giving spectators a better perspective on the high-octane motorsport.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. served as one of the executive producers of the show and contributed further by providing insights and a few laughable moments here and there. One of his revelations was regarding Joey Logano, who felt like a "salesman" to Earnhardt Jr. while trying to tame his #22 Ford Mustang.

Earnhardt Jr.'s words drew the attention of the Team Penske driver, who responded before his Food City 500 run at the Bristol Motor Speedway while standing close to his team bus. Joey Logano said (via Dale Jr Download):

"I saw him the other day, and walked to him and said, ‘Hey, I got a problem with you.’ He’s [Dale Jr] like, ‘What?’ I’m like, ‘Really? Like an Insurance salesman? That’s what you think I look like?’ Because he said that in the Netflix show and I was like, ‘Come on. Man!"

Logano added that while he would be a good salesman, he was a better race car driver.

"I think I’d be a hell of a salesman, he’s probably not wrong, but I like to think I’m a better race car driver, but yeah. Sometimes you just can’t help the way you look," Logano said.

Joey Logano sends William Byron into the wall after narrowly escaping a wreck during the three-wide run

Joe Logano, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell and Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron were battling for contention during their 3-wide dash on lap 21. However, a soft nudge on the #22 Toyota had a domino effect as Logano wrecked into Byron's ride which ended up hitting the wall.

The ensuing debris from the #24 Chevy's tires was so much that it prompted a yellow. It also destroyed the 2024 Daytona 500 winner's chances of securing a potentially encouraging outcome, as his run ended at P35, eight laps shy of the winner, Denny Hamlin.

Joey Logano's run, too, ended on a rather disappointing note as he came home with a P22 finish. His teammate Ryan Blaney sealed the P16 spot fielding his #12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse on the concrete of 0.533-mile Bristol Motor Speedway.
