Fight breaks out between NASCAR drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch at All-Star Race
Speeding cars escalated into swinging punches at NASCAR All-Star Race in North Carolina, where drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch got into a fight
Speeding cars escalated into swinging punches at Sunday night’s NASCAR All-Star Race in North Carolina, where drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch got into a fight that later involved their crews.
Tempers apparently flared after Busch bumped Stenhouse's No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, causing the car to slam into a perimeter wall, according to NASCAR. The crash knocked Stenhouse out of the race after just two laps (out of 200) at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
Stenhouse then parked in Busch’s pit box and climbed over the wall and up to the crew to apparently get a word in. As North Wilkesboro has no exit tunnel, he had to wait for the race to finish for his chance to confront Busch.
During post-competition fireworks, the two drivers were being recorded speaking in the garage when Stenhouse threw a right hook at Busch’s face.
Video of the confrontation posted by NASCAR showed Stenhouse was visibly agitated as he was speaking with Busch.
