Montoya and Logano may need to watch their backs

Brian Vickers and Tony Stewart may dominate the water cooler talk this week after their crash and bash fest at Infineon Raceway on Sunday. Stewart was not timid when revealing his intentions to spin Vickers. All the while, Vickers seemed proud of himself after he locked Stewart into the tire barrier.

Despite the banged sheet metal and angry scowls, Vickers and Stewart are done. I doubt that bad blood will persist. However, there are a couple of drivers who left NAPA Valley with a target on their backs.

Juan Pablo Montoya has never been a favorite among the NASCAR Sprint Cup garage area since his much-celebrated arrival to the sport nearly five years ago. He more than likely lost more clout in the garage area after rumors surfaced that he threatened to sick a lawyer on Ryan Newman after Newman reportedly punched him during a meeting with NASCAR officials at Darlington in May, therefore forcing NASCAR to hand out a 'secret fine' to Newman.

Montoya raced aggressively, which is fine at Infineon, but he allowed his frustration to boil over throughout the race. He ran Kyle Busch off the race track early in the event, which actually led to part 1 of the Vickers-Stewart clash. He proceed to turn Kasey Kahne late in the race while battling for a spot in the top five. After banging the back bumper of Brad Keselowski for several laps, he nearly put the Blue Deuce in the grass. Well, when you mess with Keselowski, it never turns out too well. Keselowski dumped Montoya with just a handful of laps to go.

Keselowski did not hide the fact that he had to put Montoya in the grass.

"It's eat or be eaten sometimes on these road courses, and when the guy opens his mouth and is about to put you down his throat, you better make a move," he said.

Keselowski was in full character, but Kahne was out of character when he lashed out at Montoya.

"Montoya just drove into me at the top of the hill, that's just obvious. Last year when (the Earnhardt-Ganassi) cars were really, really good and Jamie McMurray was the man, Juan still couldn't win a (oval) race. That shows about what he can do here in NASCAR, anyways," he said.

Montoya defended himself, of course, offering no apologies for the way he raced. He said that Kahne did not give him any room.

"It's hard when people don't know how to race on road courses and think they do," Montoya said of Keselowski.

An overlooked incident was the Joey Logano and Robby Gordon tangle. I believe this will end up with banged up orange No. 20 Toyota in the near future. Logano sent Gordon spinning after he felt Gordon raced him too aggressively.

"I got outside of him in one corner and he knocked in my fender...So, I had enough of it. I'm not going to get pushed around, I don't care," Logano explained.

He went as far as to say "He drives like a moron every week." That comment may land him in even deeper waters when Gordon enacts his revenge.

Gordon was livid following his 18th place finish.

"He took me out...I guess I need to pull a Richard Childress on him, just not at the race track."

This is not the first time these two drivers have clashed. Gordon wrecked Logano in a Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen in 2009. I still believe that Gordon will hand out some kind of payback.
