Austin Dillon’s crew urges him to wreck Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin to secure win at Cook Out 400

The end of the Cook Out 400 featured some serious drama after a late caution led to overtime. Then Austin Dillon cleared out Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin in the final lap to take the win.

Dillon had to get into Logano’s back bumper to spin him around or he wouldn’t have cleared him, so he did.

“Whatever it takes,” Dillon said on the USA broadcast after a win that came out of the blue and clinched a playoff spot for him.

That echoed what his crew had told him on the team radio just before the crash that determined the winner. According to The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck, Dillon’s team had a poignant message for him as he sought the win.

“I don’t care how you do it,” the crew said before he hit Logano. And then, “Wreck him! Wreck him!” before he hit Hamlin.

After Dillon took out both and won the race, he got his props from his ownership team.

“Pop Pop is proud of you,” Richard Childress said.

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
