Tempers Flare After Crash at Bowman Gray

John Holloman IV was relegated to the rear of the starting field a couple of times during the 2nd Sportsman race Saturday night. I don't remember how many or why but I remember their in-car communications in reference to just doing it again and we'll pass 'em all.

That was all fine and well, the 4 car cut through the field, running the outside lane a fair amount until he got to Robbie Brewer. Brewer was 2nd and Holloman was third.

Holloman gave Brewer some love taps, some nudges and some rubs. Rubbin's racin', right?

But coming out of turn 4 with a handful of laps to go Holloman laid the bumper to Brewer and the 2 cars were locked together all the way down the front stretch as Brewer spun around, Holloman gassed it to get past but Brewer steered his car toward the 4 car making sure the aggressor didn't get away.

Then Brewer hopped out of his car with a track official, a Winston-Salem Cop and a Winston-Salem Firefighter all holding him back, keeping him from opening up a can of displeasure on JHIV.

The scene went on for almost a minute until a tow truck clipped the leg of the firefighter sending him to the ground, distracting Brewer from his advances on Holloman.

It's pretty much summed up in the video with interesting in-car commentary between and unknown driver and crew chief during the ruckus. (I really don't remember looking at the scanner to see who it was talking.)
