Tempers can flare at NASCAR events just like they do in any sport. These drivers are competitors competing at the highest level. Anytime competition is involved, tempers are going to flare.
Rarely do they ever flare to the point where punches are thrown. But that’s exactly what happened on Friday after the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Martinsville Speedway.
Ty Gibbs and Sam Mayer got into a legitimate fist fight. Like, a real one. Not just shoving and a bunch of loud talking — punches were actually thrown. Specifically from Gibbs.
