At that time, NASCAR Xfinity driver Ryan Vargas was commentating and going nuts when the incident happened.

Vargas and his co-commentators noticed the arrival of law enforcement officials to try and break up the fight. He said, “Oh my God! They just got out of the car and started slamming each other. The #7 team, they’re the only cars running. Guy in the red throws his helmet… lots of animosity, lots of anger. There’s a NASCAR official heading over there now.”

While all the shenanigans were going on, the sole-surviving competitors out on track, calmly went and won the race. They went unchallenged because everyone else was either out of the race or got blocked by the brawling drivers.
