“He’s Not Done With You Yet”—Dale Earnhardt Jr. Exposes Joey Logano’s Plan That Could Humiliate Ross Chastain

The cameras may have turned off after the race, but the drama was just getting started. Tension had been building between Joey Logano and Ross Chastain for months—but now, Dale Jr. has stepped in with a chilling prediction that has the entire NASCAR community on edge. His warning? This isn’t over. In fact, it’s just beginning.

With just a few cryptic words—“He’s not done with you yet”—Dale Jr. has turned a typical post-race analysis into a full-blown mystery. What does Logano have planned? And why is Chastain suddenly looking over his shoulder? If you thought the fireworks were over, think again.

A feud hiding in plain sight

To the casual fan, the contact between Joey Logano and Ross Chastain in recent races might seem like standard NASCAR aggression. But insiders and veteran drivers have seen something more calculated, more personal. This isn’t just about track position—it’s about pride, payback, and unfinished business.

The rivalry ignited during the early season stretch, when Chastain’s aggressive block at Martinsville nearly wrecked Logano, forcing the former champion to settle for a mid-pack finish. Cameras caught Logano walking straight past Chastain’s hauler post-race, jaw clenched, fists balled. No words were exchanged—but everyone in the garage knew what that silence meant.

Since then, the two have traded bumps, blocks, and plenty of side-eye. But now, with playoff pressure mounting, Dale Jr. believes that restraint is wearing thin. Joey Logano, he says, doesn’t forget. He plots.

“If you think Joey Logano forgot what happened back in April, you’re kidding yourself. He doesn’t let stuff like that slide. He files it away—and waits for the perfect time. And I’ve got a feeling… he’s not done with Ross Chastain yet.”

Fans didn’t know what to make of it. Was it a warning? A hint? Or something more—a prediction with inside knowledge?

Because if there’s one person who knows how Joey Logano thinks, it’s Dale Jr.

Why Dale Jr.’s words carry weight

Unlike some TV analysts, Dale Jr. doesn’t speak in headlines or hype. His calm demeanor and deep knowledge of driver psychology make his observations resonate more than most. When he says something is brewing, you’d be wise to listen. He’s raced against both men. He’s shared team debriefs with them. And now, from his perch as NASCAR’s most respected voice, he’s seeing smoke the rest of us missed.

Insiders close to the situation have confirmed what many feared: tensions inside the Team Penske camp have reached a boil. Crew chiefs are whispering about mistrust. Spotters are being rotated. And Logano, always one of the sport’s most methodical minds, has gone unusually silent in media briefings. Silence, in NASCAR, is rarely a sign of peace.

“Joey doesn’t go for revenge immediately. He waits. He lets it simmer. That’s why it’s dangerous. He doesn’t lash out—he plans,” Dale Jr. said in his latest podcast episode. The tone wasn’t speculative. It was chillingly certain.

Behind the scenes, there’s growing speculation that Joey Logano and his inner circle have already mapped out their opportunity. They know where Chastain is vulnerable—on short tracks, in traffic, on restarts—and they’re watching closely. A seemingly innocent tap in the final ten laps could end a championship run. That’s the kind of move Logano is capable of. And it’s the kind of move that sends a message not just to Ross Chastain, but to everyone else in the garage: push me too far, and I’ll push back when it hurts most.

What could come next?

The Cup Series heads to two of Joey Logano’s strongest tracks in the coming weeks: Darlington and Bristol. Places where bump-and-run finishes are expected and where a subtle nudge can send a rival spinning into irrelevance. If Logano does intend to make his point with Chastain, he’ll have the tools—and the track layouts—to do it cleanly, or at least, deniably. That’s what makes this feud so dangerous.

Because Ross Chastain isn’t the type to back down. His meteoric rise has been fueled by fearlessness, even recklessness. He’s built a brand on making bold moves, pushing limits, and forcing veteran drivers to respect him the hard way. But with Joey Logano, he might’ve picked the wrong guy to test.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object on a high-banked oval at 190 mph? According to Dale Jr., we’re about to find out.

“Watch the next restart when those two are near each other. Watch who gives room—and who doesn’t. That’ll tell you everything you need to know,” Dale Jr. hinted. It wasn’t just analysis. It was a forecast.

If there is a move coming, many believe it won’t be flashy. It’ll be cold. Calculated. Quiet, even. Logano has a history of setting traps for aggressive drivers and letting them drive themselves into trouble. If he does it right, Chastain might not even realize what’s happening until he’s watching the replay from the infield care center.

Meanwhile, others in the paddock are taking sides. Some say Chastain had it coming. Others believe Logano is playing with fire. And then there’s the third camp—the silent majority—who just want to see how far this will go before NASCAR steps in.

More than just a rivalry?

Some fans are calling this a brewing feud. Others see it as something more: a generational clash between old-school discipline and new-school aggression. But either way, everyone agrees—it’s not over. And Dale Jr.’s words hang heavy in the air: “He’s not done with you yet.”

Could it be a warning that Joey Logano is preparing the most shocking retaliation since Matt Kenseth’s 2015 takeout of Logano at Martinsville? Or is this all just mind games, amplified by the media and whispered through the haulers?

Time will tell. But in NASCAR, time moves fast. And so do grudges.

All eyes will be on the next time Logano and Chastain line up side by side. Because, according to Dale Jr., that moment could change everything. And if it does, it won’t just be another post-race headline—it could become the defining clash of the season.
