Ty Gibbs was already not a very admired character among NASCAR fans. But following a brawl with Sam Mayer after the race in Martinsville, in which he punched him in the face while wearing his helmet, Gibbs became even more marked by the fans.
NASCAR handed the Joe Gibbs Racing driver a penalty of $15,000 for the incident. The fine was not even for the fight but for making contact with another car on the pit road.
One of the fans questioned the decision via his tweet due to the fact that he was not fined for the fight.
One of the fans commented about the situation by saying that the $15,000 fine his allowance from 'Grandpa' indicating the leniency.
Another user pointed out that $15,000 is nothing for the racer and he won't understand his mistake.
