Maybe just cause the media coverage is more extensive than ever before, but this is, as DJ says, "getting out of hand".
Winston Cup driver [#28] Ricky Rudd and a member of his Robert Yates Racing team got into a physical confrontation following Saturday night's race at Richmond. As Rudd was preparing to leave the garage area, he and the crew member - whose name the team declined to reveal - started a heated exchange, apparently over comments made by Rudd earlier in the week to USA Today questioning the quality of engines his #28 team receives from RYR. According to witnesses, the crew member threw a punch at Rudd and Rudd responded by throwing a water bottle at the crew member, hitting him in the head. The two were then separated. Team spokesman Steve Post said the incident was considered a "family matter" and would be handled internally. NASCAR spokeswoman Danielle Frye said the sanctioning body was made aware of the incident
