Update:

During the race, Kyle Busch made contact with Stenhouse’s No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, causing Stenhouse to hit the wall and exit the race. Stenhouse parked in Busch’s pit area and confronted him. Words were exchanged, and Stenhouse even threw a punch. Crew members joined the fight, adding to the drama.

Stenhouse attributed his frustration to Busch’s constant criticism and negative comments. The two drivers have a history of on-track clashes, which fueled the tension. While the fight made headlines, it remains unclear how this feud will play out.

Can Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. be kicked out or sanction by Nascar?

Stenhouse could face suspension due to his punch at Busch. His crew members and possibly his father might also be penalized. Busch may receive a penalty if NASCAR determines that he deliberately caused the wreck that triggered Stenhouse’s anger. The fine can go up to five $500 for the incident.

In 2003, Jimmy Spencer and Kurt Busch engaged in a memorable fight. Spencer confronted Busch after a race, resulting in a physical altercation. NASCAR suspended Spencer for a race as a consequence.

While NASCAR hasn’t said anything about the fight or what will they do with the drivers. Fans are expecting some exemplary actions by the competition. Both drivers are far away from Kyle Larson in points, they should be worrying more about winning and less about fighting.
