Ryan Blaney vs. Carson Hocevar: Everything That Has Happened Since the Bristol Fight
Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar's Bristol clash didn't end with their pit-road fight. Here's everything that has happened since the crash that ignited one of NASCAR's biggest stories of the season.
The Ryan Blaney-Carson Hocevar incident at Bristol Motor Speedway was a major topic of discussion after Joey Logano's win in the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. A late-race crash led to a confrontation between Blaney and Hocevar on pit road, which quickly escalated into a physical fight. Blaney, who finished 33rd, showed up at the track with a black eye and admitted that Hocevar had taken the "nuclear option" during the confrontation.
NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell announced that neither driver would be penalized for the fight, stating that NASCAR was encouraging passion and not encouraging fighting. Dale Earnhardt Jr. expressed surprise at the outcome of the altercation, noting that NASCAR was likely "over the moon" with the situation.
