Logano Responds To Criticism From Hall Of Famer, Asks 'has Chipper Jones Ever Driven A Race Car?'

Joey Logano wondered Tuesday if Baseball Hall of Famer Chipper Jones had ever driven a race car at Talladega after the former Atlanta Braves slugger criticized the NASCAR champion in a series of social media posts.

Jones was defending Austin Cindric, winner of Sunday's race at Talladega Superspeedway , after Team Penske teammate Logano unleashed an expletive-laden rant about Cindric around the halfway mark of the race. Logano was furious he did not receive the help he needed from Cindric, which allowed rival Toyota driver Bubba Wallace to win the second stage and earn valuable bonus points.

"Way to go Austin. Way to go. You dumb expletive. Way to expletive go," Logano said on his team radio. "What a stupid expletive. He just gave it to him. Gave Toyota a stage win. Nice job. Way to go. What the expletive."

Jones was angered by Logano's rant and in six social media posts congratulated Cindric, called Logano selfish and celebrated Logano being disqualified for failing postrace inspection.

"Good teammates are hard to come by, Boss! Remember that one of urs MFed u on national tv, when in all actuality, u did everything possible to keep from wrecking him," Jones wrote. "Some people are 'hooray for our team as long as I'm the star' as every team has them. Hendrick, RCR, JGR, Penske, etc. Sometimes karma is glorious."
