Friday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Martinsville Speedway was exciting for more reasons than just the race itself.
Brandon Jones took home the victory, outlasting Ty Gibbs, Landon Cassill, AJ Allmendinger, Austin Hill and Sam Mayer. However, after the race concluded, Gibbs and Mayer went at each other, both drivers throwing punches.
Mayer later claimed that Gibbs was upset when Mayer forced him into a wall, causing Gibbs to lose significant momentum.
After everything cooled down, Mayer explained his side of what happened on pit road.
“100 grand on the line, (I) put the bumper to him because that’s what short-track race is all about, he got upset,” Mayer said.
