Alternate angle shows Kyle Busch punching Ricky Stenhouse’s dad
A fight broke out at the end of the NASCAR All-Star race on Sunday at North Wilkesboro between Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Now an alternate angle of the video has emerged that provides a better look at the altercation, showing Busch punching Stenhouse’s father.
The pair exchanged words for a good amount of time before Stenhouse landed a right hook on Busch. That resulted in several people attempting to get in between the two, including Stenhouse’s father. Stenhouse Sr. went after Busch in the scrum, and as Busch attempted to break free and fought back, he hit Stenhouse’s dad in the face.
You can view the moment below.
It’s possible that Ricky Stenhouse Sr. could receive a suspension from attending future races for getting involved in the fight.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was put into the wall by Kyle Busch on Lap 2 of the 200 lap race. With $1,000,000 on the line, both drivers were on edge and looking for every edge they could gain early in the race.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has a right to be mad. On the replay, it even looks like Stenhouse didn’t really do anything wrong. He ran up the middle and Busch got into the wall.
Then, Busch just put Stenhouse into the wall. Straight up, Rowdy wrecked him. It was enough to make Stenhouse angry enough for two hours. Think about that – he was mad enough to sit for 198 laps and still throw punches.
Kyle Busch speaks out on fight with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Kyle Busch had some interesting things to say about the wreck had with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. during the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway. While speaking to reporters, Busch was asked about the wreck he caused with Stenhouse that eliminated him from the race.
“I’m tired of being run over by everybody,” Busch said. “But that’s what everybody does. Everybody runs over everybody to pass everybody.”
Busch believed he was hit by Stenhouse Jr. during the first lap of the race, which led to him retaliating. “We don’t even have water temp in the car yet and were wrecking each other off of [Lap 2],” Busch explained.
The wreck led to Busch and Stenhouse getting into a big fight after the race. Based on the way the track is set up, Stenhouse couldn’t leave, so he waited for Busch once the race came to an end.
