A mini-destruction derby recently broke out between two hotheaded NASCAR drivers at the Bowman Gray Stadium over in the US…

The incident in the video above occurred last weekend after Burt Myers of the no.1 car pushed Tim Brown driving the no.83 off the track and out of contention for the lead at the Bowman Gray Stadium.

So after going to the pits and getting his car cleaned up, Brown decided to seek revenge on Myers in the no.1 car.

Brown managed to get out of the pits ahead of Myers and he positioned his car so that Myers was forced to drive along the track wall. That’s when Brown hits the breaks and traps Myers, making him lose pole position in the race.

As if that wasn’t enough, Brown then spins his car and rams it into Myers in one last act of revenge. The mini-destruction derby was only broken up when a police officer stepped in to calm the situation.

We wonder what Brown was thinking as he drove off?

Unfortunately for both drivers, they felt the full wrath of NASCAR officials following their little kerfuffle.
