Winner: Rivalries

We all remember what happened between Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano during the Chase last season. At Kansas, Logano moved Kenseth in order to get a win then Kenseth returned the favor by taking Logano out at Martinsville.

That rivalry was thought to be dead…until Talladega came along. At one point in the race, Logano bumped Kenseth and sent him flying outside of the yellow line before coming back in unharmed and appeared to wave a “finger” back to Logano.

Later on, Kenseth went for a wild ride, flying through the air and connecting with the infield wall. Logano was also involved in the accident and both met outside of the infield care center.

The two drivers shared a word with each other before Logano quickly brushed everything off when speaking with Chris Neville of FOX Sports.

The one thing to take away from this development is that the Kenseth/Logano rivalry is alive and well and next weekend, the Cup Series heads back to Kansas–the place where it all started.
