If this is just the beginning, well, it could be a wild week at Daytona International Speedway.
It seems there could have been some street justice applied following the on-track skirmish between Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch during Friday’s Bud Shootout practice schedule.
In the incident on track Stewart hit Busch, putting him in the wall. Busch then sped through the field and pulled alongside Stewart on the track and hit right side of his car three times before both pulled into the garage.
Both drivers were summoned to the NASCAR trailer after the incident.
What happened during or after that meeting is the big question right now in the media center.
Speed reported that Stewart threw a punch at Busch inside the NASCAR trailer Friday. There’s also rumors spreading that there may have been an additional extracurricular physical exchange later in the evening, away from the garage.
Neither driver mentioned any punches being thrown, or for that matter landed, in separate interviews this morning on Speed.
“We’re going to move forward,” Busch told Speed. “We know we need to help each other out in the future so that doesn’t happen again.”
