The history of NASCAR witnessed a notorious altercation between two former Cup champions after the race in Las Vegas in 2017. The fight in the pits between these former teammates became one of the most intense in the sport’s history. On the final lap of the race, one driver spun out the other, leading to a heated confrontation. Seven years later, one of the drivers, Busch, appeared on a show to discuss the events and share his thoughts.
During the race, Busch and Logano were battling for third place and a spot on the podium. However, their battle took a turn when Logano made Busch spin out, causing him to lose his position. After the race, Busch went to Logano’s pit and engaged in a physical altercation. Busch admitted that his actions were fueled by frustration.
The incident occurred on the final lap, and Busch had reached his limit with Logano’s behavior throughout the weekend. Both drivers suffered injuries during the fight, with Busch sustaining a cut on his forehead. Despite the altercation, no penalties were imposed, but this intense moment between the two drivers will be remembered for years.
Pat McAfee, a well-known sports analyst and podcast host, discussed the Busch-Logano incident in Las Vegas. McAfee was impressed by Busch’s actions and expressed his admiration for the former champion’s approach.
Busch is now gearing up for the next race in Bristol, a track where he has had success before. After his appearance on McAfee’s podcast, Busch seems to have gained a surge of energy that may help him secure his first win of the 2024 season.
