That was the most "side money" that any driver made in 2012. Hamlin-Logano feud heats up: Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin were Joe Gibbs Racing teammates from 2008 through 2012. But any camaraderie they might have had then vanished in the first race of the 2013 season. After the Daytona 500, Hamlin took to social media to sarcastically discuss Logano's driving in the season opener. Logano responded to Hamlin via Twitter, saying, "I remember when you were MY genius teammate. #LoveYouMeanIt." But there was little love in Bristol. The two tangled on the track and on pit road following the race. Crew members kept the two from a full-fledged fight, but we'll be watching this newest NASCAR rivalry. If there's anything close to a sure thing in endurance racing, it's that Audi will dominate. The manufacturer did just that at the latest 12 Hours of Sebring, taking the top two spots in the prestigious Florida event. But there was a twist in the oldest sports car race in America. The Audi that took the checkered flag was a hybrid. So was the Audi that came in a close second. Not only was the No. 1 Audi R18 e-tron quattro the first hybrid car to win at Sebring, it was the first hybrid win in the American Le Mans racing series.
