Driver fights and brawls are nothing uncommon in NASCAR, however, the late-model race in Virginia reached a new low after a video emerged of, Andrew Grady, resorting to violence against another driver.

Grady was seen delivering a flurry of punches to the driver of the 41, who was still seated in his car and defenseless. Later on, a man had to literally pick up the unprofessional driver and carry him away.

A celebrated personality, Daniel Newman, spoke about the incident by posting a video of what transpired. He also stated, Although WILL SMITH is BANNED from the OSCARS… Andrew Grady is Still allowed to Come… And he’s fine at NASCAR events too. No worries… Nothin Racist,… Just another White coincidence… Nothin’ odd, happens every day.”

Grady’s actions were not only horrible but also cowardly to have chosen to use his the other driver’s dead as a punching bag while still seated in the vehicle. Grady later clarified that Davey Callihan had supposedly flipped him off as went to discuss the events, and that triggered his rage. He told the media, “He flipped me off! So I started Mike Tyson-ing his head.”

As per what Grady told the media, he was apparently dive-bombed by Callihan which resulted in them making contact. So according to him he simply wanted to have a word with the other driver but mentioned that he was flipped off.

On the other hand, Callihan stated that he never flipped him off. So it seems that Grady just woke up and chose violence. If their statements are to be believed, Grady just walked up to Callihan and started punching his head left and right.
