NASCAR fans showed up for a race at the Alsco 300 at Kentucky Speedway and ended up watching a prizefight.
Harrison Burton and Noah Gragson got into a post-race fight after a collision between the No. 20 Toyota Supra and the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro.
The two young drivers – Burton is 19 and Gragson is 21 – were discussing the incident before Burton pushes Gragson. The conversation continues with Burton getting into Gragson’s face.
Burton then shoves Gragson a second time, Gragson grabs him back by the neck, and the fight is on.

Apparently, the fight was a long time coming.
"That was a long time coming."

I’d watch more NASCAR if there were a guaranteed fight after every race.
Austin Cindric was the real winner on the night, dominating the race to sweep the NASCAR Xfinity Series doubleheader at Kentucky.
