Fight during a Rolex Series race
I saw this on during news. It was great. Alas, no pictures
A crash on lap 73 led to a fight between Chris Bingham and JC France. Bingham, in the No. 40 Pontiac, tried to pass France's No. 59 Porsche on the inside, triggering contact that sent both cars into the wall around the eighth and final turn.
Bingham climbed from his car, pushed France and threw a quick punch. France responded with a flurry of blows before pinning Bingham on the track. Firefighters and others working to clear the two battered cars were slow to pull the drivers apart. Both drivers and their teams were asked to meet with Grand Am officials.

They had their helmets on during the fight.

yeah I just saw this on the news. There was an M3 driver on the Rolex 24h I saw at daytona, that guy deserved to get hit. He hit a Porsche to pass him and took him out.

First you see a commercial. Wait a couple of secs for the actual vid.
Pretty stupid IMO. You don't really see the crash unfortunately. I can imagine one being pissed off, but this is not the way. Good that they have been penalized.

Those guys should be banned for driving... at least for a while
|
Exactly. Wonder what their sponsors thought of it?
Plus whacking each other in the head with helmets on has to be THE most hilarious bit of it all...
