What’s Happening?

Kyle Busch marched back to the garage area after the All-Star Race, with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. waiting. After a brief exchange of words, Stenhouse Jr. threw a punch at Busch, starting a brawl between Busch and Stenhouse’s crew members. Kyle Busch can be heard after the brawl screaming to Stenhouse Jr., “I don’t give a F**k! I suck just as bad as you!” The full video is below.

  • Stenhouse Jr. was frustrated after Busch wrecked him early in the race. In his interview, Stenhouse Jr. vowed to confront Busch after the race.
  • This was not Busch’s only incident of the night. He also spun out Ty Gibbs just after the race’s halfway point, meaning Busch was at the center of both incident-related cautions.
  • Fans, drivers, and media members were all discussing the fight after the race. Everyone knew it was coming, and it was what everyone expected.

The Full Story

It all started on lap 1. Kyle Busch felt he was pushed into the wall by Stenhouse Jr. off of turn 2 on the first lap. Busch elected to show his displeasure by wrecking Stenhouse Jr. in turn 1 on the next lap.

Video later showed that there was no contact between Stenhouse Jr. and Busch.

Stenhouse Jr. was heated and elected to show his displeasure by parking his car in Kyle Busch’s pit stall. Stenhouse Jr. later climbed up the pit stall and shared some not-so-nice words with Kyle Busch’s team.

When talking to the media after the incident, Stenhouse Jr. vowed that he would confront Busch, saying “Watch after the race”. It also helped that, with no underground tunnel, Stenhouse Jr. was stuck in the infield after the wreck.

After the race, Stenhouse Jr. stood outside the No. 8 team’s hauler. As that was happening, Kyle Busch talked to the media before confronting Stenhouse Jr. Busch said he was “Tired of getting run over by everybody, but that’s what everybody does. Everybody runs over everybody to pass everybody.”

When Busch confronted Stenhouse Jr. words were briefly exchanged. Stenhouse Jr. then threw the punch, and the fight was on.

Busch was not interviewed after the fight, but Stenhouse Jr. was. According to Steven Taranto, he said, “I know [Busch]’s frustrated because he doesn’t run nearly as good as he used to.”

All the Angles

Matt Weaver’s video showcases the lead-up to the fight. Busch gets out of the car and walks to the hauler, only to see Stenhouse Jr. waiting.

Bob Pockrass got the start of the fight, but, his phone was knocked away as the fight started. Stenhouse Jr. can be heard repeatedly saying he didn’t hit Busch, which Busch brushed off. Stehouse Jr. said, “Go watch it!” with Busch responding, “Okay,” before the punch.

While Pockrass’ angle didn’t get the entire fight, the image of his face was quickly memed afterward. Kaz Grala was the first one to do so.

Dawson Cram also took advantage of the memeable moment.

NASCAR also uploaded footage of the fight. This one compiled multiple angles, where Busch is seen tackled to the ground by Stenhouse Jr.’s crew members.

In the Stands

The fight happened primarily because Stenhouse Jr. had no way out of the track. This gave Dale Earnhardt jr. an idea.

DannyBTalks was quite entertained by what he saw.

Eric Estapp was happier with this than he was with the race itself it seems.

It seems Brakehard is in a boat similar to Eric.

Nick Lent loved to see Stenhouse Jr. do what he did.

Philly Trap House gave Stenhouse Jr. a new nickname.

NASCARnerd had some thoughts on the pit crew members involved in the fight.

Bradley Thomas believes that drivers should be suspended.

King_Sebastian5 said that this fight was better than the race.

Jack did not like the punch, and he does not like drivers punching other drivers under any circumstances.

Now, we await what NASCAR will do with this.

The Cutline – Atlanta: Atlanta is EASILY the Best Superspeedway! | w/NASCAR_Opinion

The Cutline is officially back, and the 2026 season is already unhinged. After months away, Armany returned fresh off attending the Daytona 500, only to dive straight into one of the most chaotic Atlanta weekends we’ve seen in years. Boneheaded moves, superspeedway carnage, overtime frustration, and a shocking 2-0 start for Tyler Reddick.

  • Did Kyle Larson just make one of the dumbest moves of his championship defense, and could this new points format make it hurt more than ever?
  • Was Joey Logano’s late-stage block the trigger for the biggest wreck of the day, and why do veterans keep overdriving these moments?
  • Is Carson Hocevar becoming the sport’s most chaotic wild card, and will that aggression finally cost him with fellow drivers?
  • And what does Tyler Reddick’s back-to-back wins mean for 23XI Racing after an offseason filled with pressure and drama?

Armany and NASCAR Opinion break down every major flashpoint — from Larson’s 120% driving style to Alex Bowman’s rough start, to why Atlanta might now be the best superspeedway on the schedule. Add in overtime debates, rookie mistakes, and early Cutline rankings, and suddenly the season already feels like it’s accelerating fast. If this is how 2026 starts, buckle up. COTA is next, and the intensity isn’t slowing down.

These are the All-Time Winners in NASCAR (Post Atlanta)

What’s Happening?

Winning in NASCAR is no small feat. Nearly 3,000 drivers have competed in the premier American motorsports series, but only 206 have reached Victory Lane. Of those, just 140 have won multiple races. In this post, we’ll break down every driver who has claimed a win at the top level of stock car racing. In addition, we’re also listing every single champion, crown jewel, and exhibition race winner.

Atlanta Groovy Gauge Presented by Lectric eBikes


Big runs, big wrecks, and a battered car in Victory Lane. Atlanta turned into a survival test late, and somehow, Tyler Reddick came out of it with another trophy after taking serious damage in the closing laps. Watch to see what Eric thought and how he graded this race on the Groovy Gauge powered by Lectric eBikes.

Groovy Gauge Score: 90%

  • Eric believes Atlanta Motor Speedway is the best version of drafting track racing right now because drivers can actually build runs and manage momentum instead of just running flat out.
  • Eric thinks this race had sustained action, not just a frantic final restart, with contenders constantly cycling forward and backward through the field.
  • Eric believes handling mattered, especially as the laps wound down, which set this apart from more fuel-mileage-dependent superspeedway races.
  • Eric thinks the double overtime finish and Reddick’s comeback drive for 23XI Racing elevated it from good to great.
