Things got a bit heated Friday night in Sparta.
Noah Gragson and Harrison Burton exchanged punches at Kentucky Speedway following Friday’s Alsco 300.
It took place after Gragson’s No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet got into the rear of Burton’s No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota while battling for position. Both clipped the wall before Gragson finished seventh and Burton took 12th.

Austin Cindric went back-to-back at Kentucky, claiming Friday night’s Alsco 300 after Thursday’s Shady Rays 200.
The last driver to win on consecutive nights in the same series was Richard Petty in 1971, according to NASCAR.com.
