In a shocking and dangerous twist, Austin Dillon intentionally crashed into two other players to win NASCAR's Cook Out 400 in Richmond.

NASCAR is undoubtedly a dangerous sport, holding a history of drivers who perish after a mistake in the race proves fatal. However, Austin Dillon has made headlines after intentionally crashing into Joe Logano's cars to win the Cook Out 400 at the Richmond Raceway. As a result, Joey Logano got pushed into the 19th position, and Denny Hamlin got hit, making a close run at second place overall.

Like any competitor would be, Joey Logano was infuriated by these treacherous tactics. When interviewed about the incident after the race, Joey Logano ripped into Austin Dillon for the way he raced, deeming it cowardly. Additionally, he accused Austin Dillon of being facetious in his persona as a baby father and family man.

"It's chicken****, no doubt about it. He's four-car lengths back, not even close. Then he wrecks the 11 And then he's going to go up there and thank God and praise everything with his baby. It's a bunch of BS, it's not even freakin' close. I mean, I get it, bump-and-run, I get it. I didn't back up the corner at all, he came in there and just drove through me. It's ridiculous that's the way we race. Unbelievable.

I get bump-and-runs, I do that, I would expect it. But from four-car links back he was never going to make the corner. And then he wrecks the 11 to go with it. What a piece of c***."

Fans have become divided on the method that led to Austin Dillon's first-place victory. While many believe this is just a part of the sport, others agree with Joey Logano's position that this is a step too far. Others have accused the latter of hypocrisy for his history of bumping cars to win despite his account of this in his interview.

Though this tactic is aggressive and dangerous, Austin Dillon did earn the first prize, leaving his competitors in the dust. Provided Joey Logano and many fans' reactions, it might be time to talk about this strategy being disallowed in NASCAR.
