Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were involved in an all-out brawl after the NASCAR All-Star race on Sunday night, and fans could not believe one comment that Busch made during the altercation.
Stenhouse didn’t even make it to lap 3 at North Wilkesboro Speedway in Wilkesboro, N.C. Busch’s No. 7 Chevrolet Camaro spun out Stenhouse’s No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro when the two drivers were jostling for position on the second lap of the exhibition. Stenhouse crashed into the wall and his night was over.
Stenhouse drove his damaged car to pit road and parked it in Busch’s pit box. Stenhouse then climbed out of the car and delivered a message to Busch’s crew chief Randall Burnett. When the race concluded, Stenhouse threw a punch at Busch and sparked a huge fight. You can see the full video here.
At one point after the two drivers had been separated, Busch told Stenhouse, ‘I don’t give a f—! I suck just as bad as you!”

Sunday’s race had no bearing on the season-long Cup Series standings, but both Busch and Stenhouse have had frustrating years. Busch is 13th in the standings with two top-five finishes and no wins. Stenhouse is 26th and has only one top-five finish.
A different angle of the brawl showed that Busch and Stenhouse’s father also got very physical with one another. You can see that clip here.
