Report: Fight breaks out between Ty Gibbs, Brad Keselowski teams on pit road at NASCAR Sonoma

Venturini also reported (per Taylor Kitchen), “Gibbs came to pit row – his stall right in front of Keselowski’s. Tire changer for the No. 6 was waiting on pit wall when Gibbs came in to pit and clipped the tire from the No. 6 tire carrier. The tire changer confronted the Gibbs crew after their stop and that’s when the altercation ensued.”

The tensions were clearly high for both teams as they were looking for their first win of the season. With a handful of regular-season races remaining, Gibbs and Keselowski need a victory to clinch a spot in the playoffs.

Ty Gibbs is in his third year as a full-time Cup Series driver with Joe Gibbs Racing. Heading into the Sonoma Race, Gibbs has recorded four top-10 finishes and three top-five finishes, including a second-place finish at Chicago last week.

Brad Keselowski has put together a Hall-of-Fame career, recording 36 Cup series race victories and one Cup Series championship. So far this season, Keselowski has posted four top-10 finishes and two top-five finishes, including second place at Atlanta at the end of June.

After the Atlanta race, Keselowski expressed his frustration with coming up short again. “He just had the 48 behind him giving him a huge push and nothing I could do to cover that,” Keselowski said of Chase Elliott’s pass entering Turn 1 on the last lap, per NASCAR.com. “When we had our cars linked up at RFK, we could do the same thing and we lost that. Then it was just kind of a two-on-one, and fought as hard as I could.”
