Ricky Stenhouse Jr Punches Kyle Busch After Lap 2 Crash at All-Star Race
4 months agoRicky Stenhouse Jr crashed in yesterday's NASCAR All-Star Race after two laps and finished last, triggering a post-race fight with Kyle Busch that overshadowed the entire race. On the opening lap, Stenhouse poked his nose between sixth-row starters, Denny Hamlin and Busch, to make a three-wide pass down the middle, but it forced Busch into the upper groove and he lightly scraped the wall. Busch was none too happy and wrecked Stenhouse in retaliation on the following lap, causing enough damage to take him out of the race. In response, Stenhouse parked in Busch's pit stall before throwing a punch after the race ended. The fight eventually also involved crew members for the No. 8 and No. 47 teams and Stenhouse's father. It is unclear whether Stenhouse will be suspended for the incident. Whatever happens, it is likely the only thing most fans will remember about this race.
