NASCAR Truck Series drivers Nick Sanchez and Stewart Friesen got into a fight Saturday night after the Weather Guard Truck race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

“I was in the top 3 all night until a loose wheel at our last stop put us behind. Driving up the field when they closed in on me. Fast truck, I had a chance until I didn't. Towards COTA,” Sánchez wrote. .

“Up and down day at @ItsBristolBaby We looked for speed early and bounced back tonight with Stewart running in the top ten for most of the night. A late incident on stage 3 left us too far behind to finish with the speed we were showing. ” Friesen wrote.
