During a race at a lower level NASCAR event at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia, two drivers got into an argument after an accident.
Driver Andrew Grady was seen throwing punches through opponent Davey Callihan’s window after both drivers pulled into the infield.
Grady managed to pull down the window net in Callihan’s car and threw haymaker after haymaker at his head.
After moving on, Grady was picked up and dragged away by a bystander and there was peace.
NASCAR driver Andrew Grady saw Davey Callihan’s car bumped
After the altercation, Grady shared his memories of the events, saying that Callihan silenced him when he approached him to discuss what had happened.
‘He laughed at me! So I started hitting Mike Tyson in the head,” Grady said before shrugging and continuing. “We were really good at the end of the day. Car ran fast. But man… you get these idiots who come in here and run with us, and they have nothing to do with running a late model (car), let alone a lawnmower.
“I mean… he wasn’t close, he bombed me, he hooked me… and I wanted to talk to him and he dropped me off. So I started shaking Mike Tyson’s head. You play a big boy sport. If you break a man, you can whip a grown man, that’s what I think.’
Grady says when he confronted Callihan, the latter knocked him out, leading to the fighting
In his response, Callihan says he didn’t turn him off and that he was open to talking with him.
“It was for a transfer position at Martinsville. From my perspective, I was there. It was close. But you can’t give an inch for the transfer spot when there are 95 cars and I had to take it. It was just racing hard. I apologize to (Grady), but we’re fighting for our lives out there, so I just did what I had to do.
“I’ve never hurt anyone. He just starts beating me in the race car, so… I understand he’s frustrated, but again, it’s for the transfer spot and we were just fighting for our lives.”
