"That's some A+ troll": Dale Earnhardt Jr. comments on Joey Logano's Atlanta Braves hat amid Chipper Jones feud

Dale Earnhardt Jr. commented on Joey Logano donning an Atlanta Braves hat in Texas victory lane. The Team Penske driver won Sunday's race at Texas, days after he was called out by Chipper Jones.

The Baseball Hall of Famer had criticized Joey Logano for his comments on Austin Cindric at Talladega. After that, Logano reacted to Jones' post, claiming that he was surprised by it.

However, a week later, as Joey Logano took to the victory lane in Texas, he was pictured wearing an Atlanta Braves hat, a team Chipper Jones is synonymous with.

This was a subject that interested Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the recent episode of the Dale Jr. Download podcast. The NASCAR Hall of Famer mentioned Jones' comments on Logano, where the Baseball legend congratulated the 3x Cup champion for his 'masterful win.' Jones also claimed that hard-charging wins and 'gracious' results are what NASCAR fans expect from the #22 driver.

"I did see a picture, I don't believe it's AI or photoshopped of Logano in Victory Lane with the Atlanta Braves hat on. So, did Joey take an Atlanta Braves hat to the racetrack or borrow one off a fan's head? What was the situation? We got to know. Joey's coming on. Did your as* decide, all right, I'm taking an Atlanta Braves hat with me until I win and I'm gonna take a picture with it? That's some A+ troll," Dale Earnhardt Jr. claimed.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. hoped Joey Logano, who was scheduled to come on his show, would say that as soon as 'that s**t went down,' he put his Braves hat in the bag.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. confronts Joey Logano about his Atlanta Braves hat

When Joey Logano made his appearance on the Dale Jr. Download, he was asked by Dale Earnhardt Jr. about the deal with the Atlanta Braves hat. Junior wondered if Logano himself got hold of a Braves hat and took it to the racetrack in the scenario of him potentially winning.

Logano denied that notion as he shared what really happened:

"It was an idea in victory lane. I was there, I was like, 'Oh man, we should get a picture with a Braves hat on and just send it to Chipper.... There was somebody who works for NASCAR had the hat on that day and I said, 'Let me borrow that thing real quick.'"

Joey Logano further told Dale Earnhardt Jr. that he was confused about dealing with the whole situation, especially with his busy schedule. He revealed he woke up early in the morning and realized that he should know 'how to handle this.'

After that, Logano saw Jones' post on X where he applauded the Team Penske driver.
