Sore loser! NASCAR driver punches rival and KICKS his car in revenge for being flipped-off at Virginia speedway
A NASCAR race in Virginia descended into shocking violence after one driver punched a rival and kicked his car in revenge for being flipped-off.
Driver Andrew Grady was seen throwing wild punches through the window of opponent Davey Callihan’s car after both drivers had pulled into the infield at the Martinsville Speedway Saturday.
Grady managed to pull down the window netting in Callihan’s car and threw haymaker after haymaker at his head.
After continuing on, Grady was picked up and hauled away by a bystander and calm prevailed.
Following the altercation, Grady gave his recollection of events, saying Callihan flipped him off when he went over to discuss what happened.

‘He flipped me off! So I started Mike Tyson-ing his head.,’ Grady told Racing America before adding a shrug and continuing.
‘End of the day, we were really, really good. Car was running fast. But man… you get these dumba**es that come in here and run with us, and they have no business running a late-model (car) much less a lawn mower.
‘I mean… he wasn’t close, he dive-bombed me, he hooked me… and I wanted to talk to him and he flipped me off. So I started Mike Tyson-ing his head. You’re in a big-boy sport. When you wreck a man, you can take a grown-man a** whippin’ that’s how I feel about it.’
