The #23 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 led the 400-mile-long race after the last restart and built up a one-second lead on the drivers behind him.Byron looked set for a trip to Victory Lane, but NASCAR Cup Series veteran Joey Logano had other plans. However, the #22 Ford Mustang driver closed the gap between Byron and him in the final laps of the race. The pair were headed to take the white flag when Logano decided to bump the Hendrick Motorsports driver in Turn 2, which caused Byron to careen into the wall.FOX: NASCAR@NASCARONFOXWhat do you think?136792What do you think? https://t.co/MXFZrmBDlSLogano went on to take victory while Byron was relegated to thirteenth after he suffered two flat tires from contact with the wall. Fans were divided after the incident as to the fairness of the one-sided attack from the Team Penske driver.One fan went onto express his feelings, taking the sport's roots into consideration, and said:&quot;This sport started out with beating and banging, it’s all fair. Byron built up a 1 second lead with less than 10 to go and basically had the race won. Don’t want to get bumped out the way?

The sad thing is he probably had him beat clean if he raced him back, and he had turn 3/4 to “wall” him back if that’s what he thought happened to him. He had multiple ways to win that race and chose the most bs way.&quot;See the tweet below:Chris Armstrong@ChrisAr12752236@NASCARONFOX It was a Logano move.
