NASCAR driver Andrew Grady attacked opponent Davey Callihan through the window of Callihan&#8217;s car after an accident knocked both drivers out of a race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia on Saturday.
Grady claimed that Callihan flipped him off before the altercation, while his opponent denied the action.

&#8220;I mean, he wasn&#8217;t close. He dive-bombed me. He hooked me, and I wanted to talk to him and he flipped me off. So I started Mike Tysoning his head,&#8221; Grady said in a video after the incident.
&#8220;You&#8217;re in a big-boy sport. When you wreck a man, you can take a grown-man ass whipping. That&#8217;s how I feel about it,&#8221; he added during the interview.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Andrew Grady says Davey Callihan flipped him off when he went to talk so he decided to &#39;Mike Tyson his head.&#39;
He says there are dumbasses who have no business driving a Lawn Mower much less a Late Model at Martinsville.
Says that Callihan wrecked him and Brandon Pierce. <a href="https://t.co/X1m99JRYOj">pic.twitter.com/X1m99JRYOj</a>

Callihan offered a different take on the exchange in a response provided to the Daily Mail.
&#8220;It was for a transfer position at Martinsville. From my perspective, I was there. It was close. But you can&#8217;t give an inch for the transfer spot when there&#8217;s 95 cars and I had to take it. It was just hard racing. I do apologize to (Grady), but we&#8217;re fighting for our life out there so I just did what I had to do,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11246881/NASCAR-driver-goes-BERZERK-fellow-racer-wreck-Martinsville-Speedway.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
&#8220;I never flipped anybody off. He just comes starts punching me inside the race car, so&#8230; I understand he&#8217;s frustrated, but again it&#8217;s for the transfer spot and we were just fighting for our life,&#8221; Callihan added.
A longer version of the video shows Grady pointing at Callihan as he drove by before the fight, clearly upset over being out of the race.

Grady&#8217;s punches led to the video going viral, with social media sounding off on what should be done following the attack.
&#8220;He should [be] suspended permanently as a nascar driver,&#8221; one user tweeted.

Another user pointed out that Callihan could barely move from within his car, putting him at a tremendous disadvantage from Grady&#8217;s punches.
&#8220;That wasn’t a fight it was an assault. The other driver can barely move in there,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;This sport was made on fights. We should have more fights. I like fights,&#8221; another tweet said in contrast.

Some also saw a comparison with NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer&#8217;s punchout against Ryan Newman after the All-Star Race in 2019.
