Chipper Jones raised issue, seemingly innocently, with a decision by Joey Logano in last weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega.

Logano, he of obviously thin skin, fired back at the Baseball Hall of Famer.

This is a real thing, as our NASCAR writer, Rod Mullins, explains on our weekly podcast.

Also on today’s show:

  • Austin Cedric takes the checkered flag at ‘Dega
  • Logano, Ryan Preece penalized after the race
  • Steve Phelps for PGA Tour commish?
  • Prime Video sets May 22 date for series premiere of “Earnhardt”
