Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski fight after race (Video)
Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski got into a fight after the AAA Texas 500 on Sunday and some punches were thrown.
Gordon was not happy with Keselowski for knocking him out of the lead with less than 10 laps to go by cutting his tire after initiating some contact. Gordon was steaming after going from first to 29th and confronted Keselowski after the race.
As they were talking, Kevin Harvick pushed Keselowski from behind, which started some commotion. Once that happened, things got crazy and all heck broke loose.
Both men had visible cuts/bruises on their face afterwards:
Gordon also called Keselowski a “dipsh-t” in an interview with ESPN:
This was Keselowski’s explanation for his actions on the track.
“We’re racing for the win,” Keselowski said to ESPN, via Motor Sports Talk. “[Wasn’t trying] to wreck him, just racing hard. He left a hole and you know, everything you watch in racing, you leave a hole, you’re supposed to go for it. It closed back up and we made contact.
“I don’t want to ruin anyone’s day. I want to win the race and that was our opportunity. Just didn’t come together.”
Jimmie Johnson won the race. Harvick finished second while Keselowski was third.
Harvick explained after the race why he got into it with Keselowski:
Harvick says he shoved Keselowski because he wanted Brad to be accountable and fight if he raced that way. #NASCAR
