The NASCAR Xfinity Series held back-to-back races Thursday and Friday night at Kentucky Speedway, the last of which resulted in a win by Austin Cindric.
But that’s not the story from down South. Rather, it’s all about a fight that broke out between drivers Harrison Burton and Noah Gragson. The two top-10 drivers engaged in a pretty major fight following the checkered flag. It was something to behold.

As you can see, the two made contact on the track toward the end of the race.
"That was a long time coming."

Although, Gragson landed a filthy hook after the race.
Both sides attempted to defend themselves to the media following the race by telling their sides of the story.
One thing jumps out here more than the fight. Where the heck was the social distancing?
Are we ready for UFC 251 Saturday evening? Sure the heck seems like it.
