A NASCAR race looked more like a boxing match on Sunday … after star drivers Ross Chastain and Noah Gragson got into a wild fight on pit road.
The tiff happened following the AdventHealth 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway … after Chastain had put Gragson’s car into the wall on the track, ending the driver’s day early.
Gragson was clearly furious over the move — especially after the two had a similar incident during a race earlier this year — so he confronted Chastain about it when the race concluded.
You can see in video of their altercation — the two traded words, before Gragson grabbed Chastain.
The guys then tussled a bit — before Chastain fired off a huge right hand that connected flush with Gragson’s cheek.
Gragson tried to fire back punches of his own — but NASCAR security stepped in, preventing the fight from escalating further.
After the incident, Gragson told FOX he was “sick and tired” of the way Chastain has been racing — and wanted to make sure the driver knew about it.
As for Chastain, he spoke generally about the beef, but noted, “We have a no-push policy here at Trackhouse.”
The race, meanwhile, was won by Denny Hamlin — who, by the way, got a kick out of watching replays of the Chastain-Gragson throwdown during the post-race press conference.
