Things got real heated following Saturday night’s NASCAR race at Charlotte.
In a scene that looked more like professional wrestling than professional race car driving, NASCAR veteran Matt Kenseth pulled a sneak attack on fellow driver Brad Keselowski shortly after the Bank of America 500 ended.
Kenseth was hot under the collar after being bumped by Keselowski during a cool down lap following the conclusion of the race. Ironically, the cool down lap only cranked up the temperature as Kenseth took obvious exception to the bump.
When Keselowski was walking in between haulers after the race, Kenseth found the defending Sprint Cup champion and attacked him. It didn’t look like any punches were thrown as the two were quickly separated.
Keselowski, as he’s been known to do, was able to get under the skin of not only Kenseth, but Denny Hamlin and Tony Stewart, too.
See the entire scene unfold below.
The fight quickly captivated anyone within shouting distance. That included everyone in the winner’s circle, as even race winner Kevin Harvick paused his celebration to check out the scene.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. might have had the best line about the whole thing.
