Astonishing fight breaks out during car race as rival families brawl on track... before one driver launches flying kick

Daily Mail​a day ago

An astonishing brawl erupted at a stock driving race on Saturday night following a controversial ending at Bowman Gray Stadium.
The race involved two sets of families - Zack Staley and his son, Kyler, and Brad Lewis and his daughter Emilee.
Things kicked off on the final lap of the race, when Zack deliberately slowed down to try and block Lewis from winning as he was neck-and-neck with Kyler.
It initially appeared that Kyler had won the race, though Lewis was subsequently given the checkered flag and tensions boiled over soon after.
Kyler got out of his car in anger and angrily approached Lewis' car before the driver wheeled away on a victory route.
But Emilee's car was at a standstill, and Zack then raced across the field before delivering a stunning flying kick to her vehicle.
Zack was grabbed off of the vehicle by a police officer and event staff before Kyler was pinned on the ground after fighting another man
A police officer and multiple track crew jumped on him to pull him off the vehicle as he attempted to rip the metal off of the car.
Meanwhile, Zack's son had attacked a non-driver on the track who had been standing alongside Emilee, before Kyler was wrestled and pinned to the ground by several staffers.
The announcers of the event were left stunned by the violence.
'We got headlocks, we've got birds, we've got Ric Flair chops,' one said.
'Doesn't matter if it's a female or male, they're at it tooth and nail.'
Zack delivered one more parting gift even as he walked away from the scene, as he flashed his middle finger in the air.
The broadcast then switched to a shot of the chaos on the track, where a large group of people had congregated due to situation.

Reds release INF Jeimer Candelario after struggles

June 30 - The Cincinnati Reds officially released infielder Jeimer Candelario on Sunday after he cleared waivers following his designation for assignment on Monday. Candelario, 31, was only halfway through a three-year, $45 million contract he signed before the 2024 season that made him the Reds' highest-priced free agent in five years. The veteran first and third baseman had been on the injured list since late April due to a lumbar spine strain. The Reds reinstated him from the injured list on Monday as he ran out of time on a minor league rehabilitation assignment and have let him go while owing him nearly $23 million. Candelario played in 22 games, with 12 starts at third base and seven starts at first, before going on the IL. He batted an abysmal .113 (9-for-80) with two home runs and 10 RBIs. His last game was on April 27, when he went 0-for-4 as a designated hitter in an 8-1 road win against the Colorado Rockies. In his first season in Cincinnati, he made 112 appearances and batted .225 with 20 homers, 23 doubles and 56 RBIs. Following stints with the Chicago Cubs (2016-17) and Detroit Tigers (2017-22), Candelario had one of the best seasons of his career in 2023, split between the Washington Nationals and Cubs. He batted .251 with career highs of 22 homers and 70 RBIs, prompting the Reds to pursue him in free agency. The Reds have moved forward with Christian Encarnacion-Strand at third base and Spencer Steer at first as their main corner infielders. --Field Level Media

See the moment AFL legend turned radio star Brendan Fevola gets into a fight with three rivals in footy grudge match

Carlton great Brendan Fevola has been filmed in a nasty brawl with two rival footballers as he played for a struggling South Australian club on Sunday. The 44-year-old ran out for South Whyalla and kicked two goals to play a big role in the club's two-point win over bitter rivals Central Whyalla - but got into a heated melee in the fourth quarter of the match. Fevola was in a confrontation with two opposition players when a third ran in and smashed into him from behind. 'Fev' reacted by grabbing the opposition player's jersey with his right hand and punching him repeatedly in the upper chest while his own top was nearly ripped off as he was slung to the ground, taking the two rivals with him. Footage of the incident was captured by SA Regional Footy. 'Fev's into it!' one of the commentators said. 'Fev's getting a how do you do,' his calling partner added. 'Young Quirky's into it! Hello, hello, hello! Gee, he's got three versus one. 'Not sure if this is a fairly good welcome, is it? He's come in to play a game of footy for the Whyalla footy league and he's getting a fair bit of attention.' Fevola was awarded a free kick after the stoush but was also 'sent off' for 10 minutes in that final quarter, News Corp reported. The two goals from the former Blues champion were crucial in the 6.10 (46) to 6.8 (44) victory, but it's not the first time he has made headlines while playing for a struggling club. On May 10 he and singer Guy Sebastian ran out for Masala Dandenong's reserves side as the club tried to break a long losing streak. The two stars helped the team record a two-point win - but Sebastian was forced to use crutches after rupturing his Achilles tendon. 'Guy actually played the first quarter, sung at half-time, sung virtually a whole concert and then he was so into it, he was actually having a crack,' Fevola explained. The 44-year-old (pictured during his time with the South Whyalla team on the weekend) was awarded a free kick after the wild confrontation 'Fev' made headlines during another game for a struggling club last month as his teammate Guy Sebastian (pictured together) picked up a serious injury 'He goes "I'll play the second half". Fourth quarter, I saw him fall down and I couldn't stop laughing because he just fell. I was like "mate, singers shouldn't play footy, footy players shouldn't sing, keep to your genre". 'And he looked around and he goes "I think something popped". I said that's not good, because I've done both Achilles. 'He's ruptured his Achilles. He's getting surgery on Monday and is in hospital. So he missed his mate's 40th but hey we got good headlines, which is great (laughs).' Their participation wasn't without controversy. Before the match, the Victorian Amateur Football Association launched an investigation into concerns raised by rival clubs over whether the high-profile pair were being paid - which is prohibited in the amateur league. The league confirmed both Fevola and Sebastian were cleared to play after assurances they would receive no payment or benefits.
