Here's a breakdown of the fight between Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., which took pace after the NASCAR All-Star Race on Sunday.
Now, you might have some questions. Why were Busch and Stenhouse mad at each other? Why is Stenhouse wearing street clothes and not his driver suit? And who are all these other people joining in? Let's dive into it.Deeper in the field, Stenhouse started directly behind Busch. Stenhouse, driving the No. 47 Chevy, drove underneath Busch and pinned his No. 8 Chevy in a tough spot. There's debate between the two drivers on if they made any contact, but Busch got into the wall.
Busch felt he was bumped into the wall on the lap prior, Stenhouse claims he didn't touch Busch's car and both drivers were clearly unhappy to be starting in the back of the pack. While Busch was able to continue on and finish the race in 10th, Stenhouse's night was over and he finished last. Instead of driving back to the infield, Stenhouse parked his car in Busch's pit stall, chatted with his crew and then walked away.
But for the next hour and a half, he had nowhere to go. North Wilkesboro, unlike most NASCAR tracks, doesn't have a tunnel to enter and exit the infield, so Stenhouse was stuck waiting in the middle of the track until the race ended. He changed at his team hauler and simply waited for Busch. As for the others in the fight, it was quite the range of characters. There were pit crew members for both Busch's Richard Childress Racing team and Stenhouse's JTG Daugherty Racing team. Then there were media members trying to capture the moment -- and some, like, who caught ricochet shots. Oh, and the family member? That was Ricky Stenhouse Sr., who charged at Busch after his son was dragged to the ground.Busch and Stenhouse won't have much time to get over this one, either.
