Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski Teams Brawl After Race, Exchange Insults After
An ugly brawl broke out at Sunday's AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway when Jeff Gordon confronted Brad Keselowski after the event.
Gordon apparently took exception to something that he perceived Keselowski did intentionally during the race. Fox Sports' Tom Jensen described what happened between the two drivers on the track: "On the restart, Gordon chose the highline and had contact with Keselowski, which gave him a flat tire and sent him spinning."
That led to a green-white-checkered finish, which helped Jimmie Johnson secure the victory. Keselowski wound up finishing third in the race, whereas Gordon finished all the way back at No. 29.
The incident on the track led to an ugly post-race brawl (Warning: Video may contain NSFW language).
Here's what appeared to help trigger the fight:
Gordon didn't hold back when talking about Keselowski after the brawl. Warning: Gordon's comments may be NSFW.
"Gordon: "There wasn't any conversation, you can't have a conversation with him. ... That's just uncalled for."

""The kid is just doing stuff way over his head. That's uncalled for. We're racing for the win and the championship."

Keselowski defended himself after the fight.
"Keselowski spitting blood: "We're just racing for the win, I didn't wreck (Gordon)."
— NASCAR on ESPN (@ESPNNASCAR) November 3, 2014"
"Brad: "It was just a melee of people. I couldn't tell what happened. ... I came here to race, not to fight. ... That's what I did today."
— NASCAR on ESPN (@ESPNNASCAR) November 3, 2014"
Both drivers did get banged up a bit in the melee.
"Gordon has a fat lip as well.
— NASCAR on ESPN (@ESPNNASCAR) November 3, 2014"
Of course, fighting is nothing new for these two drivers.
With both drivers chasing a championship, emotions are running high. Unfortunately, tempers got the best of them after this race.
