1. Texas 2014 – Jeff Gordon (w/ Kevin Harvick) vs. Brad Keselowski
The Setup:
In late 2014, Brad Keselowski was not a popular man. He did have it rough, even if he didn’t do anything wrong like on the night of the Texas Chase race, where he accidentally cut Jeff Gordon’s tire while racing for the lead. Gordon spun, but thankfully kept the car from crashing. Instead of tearing his car up under caution, he waited until after the race to pull up next to Keselowski to exchange a few words.

The Fallout:
Gordon got out of the car to talk to Keselowski while the two crews already began getting physical. But when Keselowski tried to walk away from the situation (credit that to his probation from the Charlotte incident), Kevin Harvick appeared out of nowhere and shoved Keselowski back into Gordon. While Keselowski was distracted, Gordon grabbed him, and the brawl was on. The No. 2 crew, the No. 24 crew, the No. 27 crew, the No. 5 crew, numerous press members and numerous NASCAR officials got into the mix that left both Gordon and Keselowski bloodied and bruised. This wasn’t a scuffle or a shoving match. Little to no words were said. This was a full-blown, knock-down, pedal-to-the-metal fight.
