Haha. I keep watching the Mears clip. Ambrose is completely calm in the beginning, just standing there trying to talk it out. Mears grabs him and starts pushing him (to where? why?) and Ambrose just decks the shit out of him. Was there more physical stuff at the start that we missed?

I think on the second-to-last restart they must have had contact, because when the 30 was blowing up, Mears was smoking from the left front and then had the tire go down. It surely must have come from whatever contact caused that.

Kurt was also still sitting (strapped?) in his car and Kurt pressed charges.

Series vice president of competition Robin Pemberton says he doesn't expect to issue any sanctions, however.

"We're looking at the video," he said. "It doesn't seem to be much. We'll take a look Monday and Tuesday.

"We don't think it was anything too severe. We'll get all the footage we can and look at it and see what happens from there."

"He got me pretty good with that shot." Mears told NASCAR.com after completing his 5K run.

Mears wore sunglasses for most of Sunday's event, but it was clear the punch left a gnarly bruise and swollen left eye. Replays of the incident show Mears and Ambrose talking just after the race ended. The situation escalated when Mears forcefully shoved Ambrose. The driver of the No. 9 Ford then returned with a right hook to Mears' face.

On Sunday, Mears remained affable despite being on the wrong end of the punch.

"One thing I can say is that out of all the NASCAR fights, when you see people swing it's usually a lot of fly-swatting," Mears said. "He actually connected, so that was pretty good."

Mears said the bad blood began on the track while the two were battling for position. He didn't mention one specific incident, but conceded both drivers did things the other was not happy with.

Ambrose finished 18th, one spot ahead of Mears.

"I don't think it's something you just forget," Mears said, about potential retaliation. "So that's kind of where it sits."
