An angry Joey Logano retaliated against Juan Pablo Montoya Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, intentionally wrecking him under caution with 64 laps left in the Ford 400.

Montoya and Logano made contact on lap 140, sending Logano slamming into the wall and damaging the front end of his car. It took 40 laps to repair his car in the garage. About 25 laps after his return to the track, Logano wrecked Montoya under caution.

After the accident, Logano stayed in his car until Montoya’s team was able get Montoya back onto the track. Montoya had a civil conversation with Logano crew chief Greg Zipadelli after falling out of the race.

Logano said prior to the retaliation that he was tired of the way Montoya had been racing him.

“I gave him plenty of room,” the Joe Gibbs Racing driver said. “I just felt like I got hooked. That’s two times with him this year so we’ve got to figure that out. I don’t know what the deal is.”

JGR President J.D. Gibbs said a feud between the two drivers had been simmering. Logano wrecked Montoya under caution to keep the incident from impact other drivers and teams.

“That one has been around for a while,” Gibbs said. “That was just frustration on his part."
