Jeff Gordon vs Clint Bowyer
Mayhem broke free for two chase drivers yesterday at Phoenix International Raceway. Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer touched toward the end of the race, cutting the tire on the #24 car of Gordon. This led Gordon on a persistent chase of Bowyer for the remainder of the event.
The two finally met a few laps later and it got the best of both cars. As Gordon drove to the garage, Bowyer’s crew soon followed breaking out in a huge brawl. Bowyer stuck on pit road at the time jumped out of his car after seeing the action on the big screen and sprinted to the garage only to find Gordon had already entered his hauler.
Gordon blames several incidents with Bowyer on the retaliation. An event that stands out is Martinsville, where Bowyer took the low side making it three wide on a narrow surface, causing both leaders Gordon and Johnson to spin.
