Watch: Joey Logano shows middle finger to Denny Hamlin after displeasing restart in Nashville

After getting upset by Denny Hamlin's maneuver during the restart, Joey Logano didn't hold back and showed his middle finger to the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Even though Logano's spotter claimed Kyle Larson to be the driver behind the wreck, the Team Penske driver refused to "buy" the notion.

The chaotic run at the Nashville Superspeedway witnessed 15 cautions being raised. The Ally 400 was slated for 300 laps, but multiple cautions extended the debacle by 31 laps. While many cars succumbed to fuel exhaustion during the closing moments, Joey Logano survived the chaos and collected his first regular Cup Series win this season.

But during a restart on Lap 123, disappointment knocked on the #22 Ford driver's door. As Logano ran in the fourth place, he got wrecked by Denny Hamlin and got loose into Turn 1. As a result, he dropped from 4th to eighth in an instant.

Thus, the Team Penske driver fumed with rage and the moment he came across the JGR driver's #11 Toyota, Logano flashed his middle finger, and radioed in to tell his spotter Coleman Pressley that Hamlin "got one coming."

Pressley tried to clear the air and claimed that Kyle Larson was the one who shoved both of them, not Hamlin. Nonetheless, Joey Logano refused to "buy" his spotter's rationale.

Joey Logano turned the tables around as the fourth overtime got underway

After Austin Cindric and Noah Gragson's contact on Lap 299 prompted the first overtime, the domination of the Ally 400 race exchanged several hands. Denny Hamlin was the frontrunner while Ross Chastain ran in second and Kyle Larson in third. But Larson's move over Hamlin spiraled the Trackhouse Racing driver and he spun out, raising another caution.

Hamlin also led the second overtime, with Larson closely following the pursuit in second place and Martin Truex Jr. in third. However, a multi-car pileup reset the field again with no change in the track position of the podium place runners.

But the moment the third overtime was green-flagged, Kyle Busch got stuck behind Larson, who ran out of fuel and got wrecked by Chase Elliott from behind.

Thus, a fourth caution was issued. As the race inevitably extended, many cars suffered fuel problems, which benefitted Joey Logano. The Connecticut native kept the lead after taking charge on the fourth overtime restart and fended off hard-charging Tyler Reddick to come home with a triumph in the Music City.

After getting his hands on the guitar trophy, Logano said,

"We won it. So close. I actually did run out of gas in the [turn] 3 and was able to spit-sputter across the line, he said via X.

With his regular season win, Joey Logano is now eligible to compete in the playoffs provided he stays among the top 16 drivers.
