It has been reported by several media outlets that Richard Childress approached Kyle Busch shortly after the NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series race today, placed the young owner/driver in a headlock and proceeded to punch him in the face several times before Busch fell to the ground.

There has been a bit of history between Busch and the racing organization owned by Childress. A few weeks ago in the Darlington Cup race, Busch ‘hooked’ Kevin Harvick and basically ended any chances that he may have had in having a good finish. And today in the Truck race Busch raced RCR developmental driver Joey Coulter pretty hard and then ‘bumped’ into him on the cool down lap.

No comments regarding the incident have been issued from either Childress, Busch, or their representatives at this time. NASCAR.com is reporting that there will be an investigation by NASCAR regarding the incident.

For more details regarding the altercation check out what Jeff Gluck reported shortly after the race.

Check out what the media is saying about this incident by going to NASCAR RnR’s Media Twitter list.

For Example, Wendy Venturini tweeted “RCR ARCA driver Tim George references Childress/KyBusch after arca wreck...“Everyone is throwing punches tonight, I wanna punch myself”

So, in your opinion why do you think would win in a fight, Richard Childress or A.J. Foyt?
