NASCAR driver Kyle Busch dumped Riley Herbst with just 4 laps to go after an incident earlier in the race
On Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series raced on the half-mile of Bristol Motor Speedway. The short track is known for short tempers.
On lap 312 of 500, Riley Herbst leaned on the back bumper of Kyle Busch. He shoved him out of the way and Busch went spinning.
Erik Jones and Christopher Bell were also collected in that incident. All drivers were able to continue.
Fast forward, Busch didn’t forget and he evened the score before the checkered flag. With just 4 laps to go in the race, Busch pushed on the back bumper of Herbst.
As Herbst got sideways, Busch didn’t lift. Herbst was sent spinning into turn one. He looped around, climbed the banking and backed it into the fence.
