Now, back to Fontana. Joey Logano has found himself in another pickle, dealing with Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart got all hot and bothered when JoLo blocked him on the final restart of the race when Smoke had a good run going to the bottom line. This block took both of them almost down to the infield grass. Smoke fell a ways back and finished 22nd while Logano fought, banged, and battled again with Hamlin. The result, Hamlin spinning out into the inside corner wall on turn 4. Logano still finished 3rd. After the race and after everyone caught there breath, Stewart came out of no where and had some thoughts for Logano.
Tony on Joey: "He sent Denny to the hospital and screwed our day up. ... He threw a water bottle at me like a little girl."

Stewart calls Joey "nothing but a little rich kid who's never had to work for anything in his life." Says "he needs to be taught a lesson."Now, in my opinion it was JoLo's right to block Stewart, and he also mentioned after the race a few smart comments. He said that if I don't block him I would never get in position to win at the end. Logano is right, he would have lost all track position and never got up to Hamlin to have that finish we all got to take in. At the same time, Joey does seem to be finding himself in the middle of everything right now. Is that a sign of something Logano is doing wrong around other drivers? Does anyone in Nascar like him?

Just listened to an awesome interview by Tony Stewart. I think he said it all!Tony Stewart may not have been a fan of the move by Logano this past Sunday, but he may also have a short memory.

Did Tony Stewart forget the 25-car pileup at Dega he caused with a block? es.pn/16SqMhi #nascarI'm not going to pick sides on any of these rivalries, but this is definitely setting up for a crazy Martinsville. It is also nice to see Nascar not fine someone for speaking his mind. Nascar fans what to know the drivers, know there personalities, and hear them speak up. When it comes down to it, which is more manly, the helmet throw by Tony Stewart or the water bottle by Joey Logano? Tony running his mouth is great for Nascar in my opinion, and just check out the ratings.

Dang. RT @ppistone: The @nascaronfox Auto Club 400 from Fontana posts an impressive 4.5 overnight share, +32% from 2012's 3.4 #NASCARThat is up 32% and it is during College Basketballs March Madness. Nascar could not have asked for a better start to the season. Denny Hamlin's fine may have been the wrong decision, but it got the Nascar world buzzing again. Denny may have hit Logano a bit harder than he meant, but it got everyone talking on social media about there feud. Tony Stewart may have been in the wrong about blocking him low, but it started another rivalry heading into Martinsville

The only thing that hasn't gone Nascars way is that this is a bye week. This may fizzle out by next week, but if Nascar media does it right they will use this time to hype every story line up. (Hey, did you know Kyle Busch won this past weekend? "That might be a story").
Maybe Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer can get back into it here, Bowyer hasn't completely forgot about it. Matt Kenseth also wasn't too happy with Greg Biffle when Biffle hit his right rear (at Fontana), could that make noise at Martinsville? And there is always BK and JJ fighting for a title (or will that start to fade with Jr on top of the points?).
So we are coming up on MLB Opening Day, who do you have throwing the first pitch? Joey or Tony?
