On Sunday, after the conclusion of the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon, Brad Keselowski, and Kevin Harvick were involved in a post-race altercation that erupted into a massive brawl. Keselowski hit Gordon from behind while trying to pass him, causing him to spin out and blow a tire; he finished 29th, while Keselowski finished 3rd; Gordon's teammate, Jimmie Johnson, won the race, despite being eliminated from championship contention (the new Chase format involves eliminating drivers from contention along the way), and Harvick finished 2nd. After the race, Gordon parked his car next to Keselowski's car on pit road in order to confront him, when Harvick shoved Keselowski from behind, causing Gordon, Keselowski, and several of their pit crew members to physically attack each other with punches and grabs, resulting in cuts, bruises, and bloodshed. Just two weeks prior to this episode, Matt Kenseth jumped and grabbed Keselowski from behind in a post-race fight at Charlotte Motor Speedway after Keselowski played "bumper cars" after the race, but this Sunday's brawl was a much nastier melee, as it involved about 20 people punching and grabbing each other, leaving some with blood on their faces. Keselowski was already penalized for playing bumper cars that led to his altercation with Kenseth, so perhaps NASCAR will penalize him some more, and perhaps Harvick too, for instigating.
