The fight broke out after qualifying race No. 2 for Sunday’s main event.

The race was scheduled to take place on Saturday but was postponed due to weather conditions as Hurricane Ophelia headed towards North Carolina, a neighboring state of Virginia.

His time is considered a new track record for Late Model Stock Cars at Martinsville Speedway.
