You were mistaken if you thought the fireworks were over after the NASCAR All-Star in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.
After the race, Kyle Busch made his way over to Ricky Stenhouse’s truck to confront him about a wreck that happened way back on Lap 2. It did not go well.

Stenhouse Jr. foreshadowed the fracas when speaking to reporters after the race, telling them that he would “handle it.” When pressed about how he would “handle it,” Stenhouse Jr. said they would have to “watch afterward.”
More from Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who said he can't leave so he will see Kyle Busch after the race and he will handle it. I asked how he will handle it. RSJ response: "You can just watch afterwards." pic.twitter.com/csX0Hvuf5R

Joey Logano dominated and won the race after leading 199 out of the 200 laps. The win was Logano’s first in a points race this season. He also won the All-Star race in 2016.
Denny Hamlin and Chris Buescher came in second and third, respectively.
