The two drivers tangled down the backstretch. Josh Harris climbed from his car and walked toward Houser as he sat in his car. Soon after, Jake Houser climbed from his car in a hurry and immediately took off his helmet.
Houser jumped down from his machine. In a matter of milliseconds, both drivers started throwing punches.
“We got a tussle on the back straightaway,” the track announcer jumped on the mic.
After 10s of punches were thrown, a crew member for Houser became the third man in. He threw a punch as Harris making it a two on one situation.
The two drivers wrestled to the ground. That same crew member stood over them, cocked and ready to throw another punch.
As the drivers wrestled on the race track, Houser gave Harris a knee to the face. Harris then stayed down on the ground.
30 seconds into the altercation, race officials were at the scene. Two officials tackled Houser to the ground and successfully broke up the altercation.
Both drivers walked away from the scene.
Drivers disqualified
In the official results, Jake Houser and Josh Harris were given a DQ from the event. Jay Sessoms drove to victory lane.
