Joey Logano has been in some scary crashes in his career. It comes with the territory of being a NASCAR driver. On Saturday, the Team Penske pilot watched a terrifying crash at Talladega from the Fox broadcast booth with Brad Keselowski and Adam Alexander during the Xfinity Series race.
A few minutes after it happened, the two-time champion talked about what he experienced on the same track several years ago and openly admitted how it made him think about dying and how he had to get over it.

Joey Logano joined former Penske teammate Brad Keselowski in the booth for Saturday’s Xfinity Series race at Talladega, the 2.66-mile superspeedway known for its frightening high-speed crashes. The two champion drivers witnessed such a scary accident with three laps to go in Stage 2 when Blaine Perkins first got sideways before getting airborne and flying down the backstretch.

The No. 02 car eventually caught an edge and began tumbling down the track at a high rate of speed. Six extremely violent barrel rolls later, and the destroyed car came to an abrupt stop.
“Some big hits within the rolls,” Logano noted on the replay. “The revolutions at that speed usually isn’t bad, it’s the impacts when you come down back onto the racetrack. Those are the ones that hurt.”

During the lengthy red-flag break, the broadcast returned to the Charlotte studio, where they discussed the frightening crash back in Alabama. Just before returning to the track several minutes later, show host Shannon Spake asked Logano and Keselowski what goes through the minds of a driver after seeing such a big wreck and how they shake it off.
