The NASCAR All-Star race concluded with a dramatic altercation between Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on Sunday night.
The tension flared up early in the race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in Wilkesboro, N.C., where Stenhouse was knocked out of the competition before even completing three laps.
The incident occurred when Busch’s No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado caused Stenhouse’s No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro to spin and crash into the wall on just the second lap. Frustrated, Stenhouse quickly made his displeasure known by parking his damaged car right in Busch’s pit box and confronting Busch’s crew chief, Randall Burnett.
