Andrew Grady went full Mike Tyson on his opponent Davey Callihan at Martinsville 300, practice session. The Late Model Racer went crazy after later, supposedly tired to wreck him. After the session concluded Grady confronted Callihan, a common occurrence in the cup race, regarding the accused wreck attempt.
But things then escalated fast. Andrew Grady started throwing punches at his opponent while he was still strapped to his car. He then proceeded to kick Callihan’s car as well. Bystanders were forced to carry Andrew Grady away as he showed no sign of slowing down his attack.
Andrew Grady defended his actions saying “He flipped me off, so I started Mike Tyson-ing his head. You get these dumbasses who get in here and run with us, and they have no business running a late model, much less a lawnmower. When you wreck a man, you can take a grown man ass-whoopin’,”.

damn I didn't know having the occasional fight made something not a sport. I guess hockey SUPER isn't a sport, then.

In the interview he said the guy flipped him off as he walked up to his car, so he twigged out. Im a little more ok with that explanation.

Fined? Its amusing how degenerate American society has become that they will condone such acts of physical violence with a fine instead of arresting the guy and banning him from the sport.

True… But the helmet and HANS device make those spastic jabs harmless. That dude has broken digits right now. Probably have to rehab during suspension. If that's a thing in NASCAR or whatever.

We get it you got your tail kicked at the local go cart track.

The bouncer hauled his ass off! 😂😭

Let me tell you something you don't know that I definitely do. Davey's father wouldn't tolerate him acting the way Andrew Grady did. Davey's no thug. He's a tough ass driver.

Because apparently people are allowed to assault each other as long as it's about sports: see baseball, hockey, football, basketball, etc.

Oh don't be such a baby. The guy he "hit" is fine. I bet he still had his helmet on.
— Curtis Blair (@DangerInvasive) September 24, 2022
Plus the driver has the mesh in front of him and more than not still had his helmet and a HANS device. The guy is hurting his hand more than the driver. Almost as bad as a baseball fight

One of the best F1 drivers couldn’t even win on a oval after competing for 6 years in NASCAR

The dude couldn’t even defend himself 🤦🏻♂️

The guy in the car already is an @ARCA_Racing driver. The other one can stay out of our series.

The announcers describing this as a “fight” and not an attack is hilariously awful. It’s not a “fight” if one person is still inside his cage in his car while being punched through the window opening.

I hope you're talking about the guy doing the hitting and not the guy who got hit!!
— Eileen Lucas (@EL_Luvs28) September 25, 2022
We’ll he was punching the guy’s helmet before he started kicking the car! Lol!
— Chris Weaver (@chris8video) September 24, 2022
That’s not a fight, that’s a dude punching a guy sitting dow. Always thought that garbage event was trash with a consistent lap over and over (another left turn!) 😂. N now the fights are even trash. Bunch of white guys bullying like if it was their Highschool. Let him get out!

1. Your punching some with a HELMET ON!
— Bentley Vance (@TennesseeToes) September 24, 2022
2. You kicked the quarter panel
3. Your ass is picked up & moved from the car, you didn't walk away, a crew member picked you up off the ground.
4. Wait for him to go his trailer, take off equipment, then go after him.
How do you think NASCAR should punish the driver?
