Emotional Incidents Run Deep in NASCAR History!
When you mix together drivers who have done everything that they can to advance to the point they amounted to in their career, millions of dollars on the line, and sheer pride at stake, sometimes something has simply got to give when tensions run high and one driver feels slighted by another.
This time, we take a road trip down memory lane to check out some of the moments in NASCAR history where emotions ran high and drivers simply couldn’t stand look at one another any longer at which point, things erupted into physical violence.
Looking back, I’m not sure if the drivers would’ve done it again or not because you’d think that they suffered a hefty fine from the man but in the heat of the moment, after putting all of that energy and effort into a race only to have the hard work stripped away from them at the end, has to blow a fuse that would make a driver go off!
Check out the video below that shows you some of the most memorable disagreements that ended in physicality between drivers. Do you think that this list missed any of the major happenings in NASCAR history? Watching the person behind that professional mask come out is really an interesting look at the sport from a different angle.
