Sunday's 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Bristol showed that the Logano - Hamlin feud is far from being over, with the two former team-mates offering the crowds some more pushing and shoving.
Bumped out of the race by Hamlin, with a gentle "tap on the back", Logano lost it once more and decided to confront the Joe Gibbs Racing driver in the pits. It didn't get exactly physical, but it took a lot of effort from Hamlin's staff to avoid a more serious degree of commotion.

"It's frustrating," Logano said. "We've got a freaking genius behind the wheel of the 11 car. Probably the worst teammate I've ever had. So I learn that now. He chose to run into the back of me. So whatever. I have a scorecard. I ain't putting up with that."

The two drivers continued taunting each other on Twitter, so we might be in for some more action next time they cross swords on the track. How can you not love NASCAR? Don't answer that…

In other probably more important news, the Bristol 500 was won by Kasey Kahne (Hendrick Motorsports), with Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing) in second and Brad Keselowski (Penske Racing) in third place.
