We had a good old NASCAR fight at the end of the All-Star Race Sunday night at North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. So what happened?
Ricky gets wrecked - NASCAR fight part one
On the second lap of the NASCAR All-Star Race Sunday night, Kyle Busch punted Ricky Stenhouse Jr's car into the wall and took him out of the race. Busch was mad because Ricky had gone three wide early on and took him out. Here's why Ricky was still there after the race to "talk" with Kyle.
You Can't Leave The Track
At the North Wilkesboro track there's no way to leave the infield when the race is going on, so Stenhouse was forced to wait to leave the track until it was over. So he just sat there and stewed in it...waiting to talk with Kyle.
NASCAR fight - what happened next
Ricky and Kyle did indeed meet up after the race. And things quickly got out of hand. Here's a couple of views of the NASCAR fight in the pits (warning some NSFW language)
Post NASCAR fight comments from Ricky Stenhouse Jr
It's still not clear in the videos if the punch from Ricky actually landed on Kyle. But the skirmish afterwards was wild. I'm sure we'll hear a lot more from both drivers this week - but Ricky did talk with Fox about it:
Is it good for NASCAR? The sport has always been colorful and passionate when it's at its best (and worst). Kyle Busch is 100% personality - you either love him or hate him (and he doesn't care what you think to be honest). I love that about him. Unless he spun me out. Then I'd probably take a swing at him too.
