Brad Keselowski fires shots, threatens Ty Gibbs after No. 6 team pit road incident at Sonoma

Amazon has everything you could ask for. And in a time of need, it has just the perfect item available for Brad Keselowski and the No. 6 RFK Racing team.
After Ty Gibbs passed through his pit box on Lap 52 of Sunday’s race at Sonoma Raceway and clipped a tire being held by the team’s tire carrier, Keselowski is in the market for a spike stud strip to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Keselowski shared his findings from Amazon on X, taking a shot at Gibbs in the process.
NASCAR reviewed the incident and determined that he did nothing wrong. NASCAR said that the No. 6 team should have given Gibbs more room to enter his pit stall. However, NASCAR will review the altercation that ensued, in which No. 6 team tire carrier Telvin McClurkin confronted the No. 54 pit crew.
“NASCAR is not going to review what Ty Gibbs did at all. That is closed. They feel he did not do anything wrong,” Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic said on The Teardown podcast. “However, they are going to review the altercation on pit road between the tire carrier from the 6 team and the altercation between the 54 team. That is the only thing that is open from this…
“They looked at it already [Gibbs incident]. They did look at it in the moment and they’re good. So, it’s not that they’re burying their head in the sand. They did look at it and they absolved him and that’s that.”

Ty Gibbs addresses pit road incident involving Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 team
McClurkin never lost control of the tire and completed the stop. He did twist his wrist, he told the TNT broadcast. McClurkin declined comment to The Athletic after the race.
Bianchi said that he spoke with Gibbs, Joe Gibbs Racing competition director Chris Gabehart and RFK Racing competition director Josh Sell after the race. Gibbs was adamant he didn’t do anything wrong; Gabehart agreed, while Sell admitted they would have liked to have seen it play out differently.
“By NASCAR’s rules, you know, I’m the lead car because I’m in the pit box past where the 6 is and I’m in front of them as well,” Gibbs told TNT. “We have these orange lines right there — as you can see, I’m sure they’ll show you after — where if I’m behind him, I have to go around those orange lines for it to be the rule. Going in, I have the right-of-way.
“So, you know, they’re on the wall for a reason, they jump for a reason, and they kind of get out of the way. And those guys like to push it, and that’s kind of the consequence you pay. So, it’s unfortunate for them that they had a penalty. Nothing malicious. It’s my right-of-way.”
