NASCAR driver threatens rival after crash at All-Star race: 'I'm gonna beat his a**'
Just a few days before arguably the biggest weekend in all of motorsport, the NASCAR All-Star Race produced some tension between two drivers. The race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday night saw a heated confrontation between Ty Dillon and Zane Smith. Smith qualified sixth for the All-Star Open race while Dillon qualified tenth, but both cars ran in the top-five for a large portion of the 100-lap race. However, late in the proceedings, with Dillon ahead of Smith coming out of turn 4, the two cars made contact. While neither car was dumped out of the race, Dillon believed that Smith's actions cost him position. Dillon finished third in the All-Star Open race, three spots ahead of Smith. Dillon, the driver of the No. 10 Chevrolet, was none too pleased about his opponent's driving style - confronting him on pit lane before speaking to reporters. 'If he wrecks me again I'm just going to beat his ass.' Ty Dillon is not happy with Zane Smith — Dirty Mo Media (@DirtyMoMedia) May 18, 2025 NASCAR driver Ty Dillon had words for racing rival Zane Smith after the All-Star Open Sunday 'Coming off (Turn) 4, I think I gave him plenty of room, and he just doors me halfway down the straightaway. … There's something about the younger guys in the sport now. They never had to deal with consequences,' he said, via Dirty Mo Media. 'So, what I told him was if he wrecks me again, I'm just gonna beat his a--.' Smith heard Dillon's comments and responded to the post on X, writing, 'Ain't beating nobody's a**.' This coming weekend is a big one for NASCAR as it hosts the final race in the 'Big Three' races typically held over Memorial Day weekend. While the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 typically grab the headlines, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway tests drivers with varying track conditions throughout the longest race on the NASCAR calendar.

Ty Dillon threatens fellow NASCAR driver after All-Star Open race
NASCAR Cup Series drivers Ty Dillon and Zane Smith built up some tension between themselves during All-Star Race festivities at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday night. Dillon finished in third place in the All-Star Open, six spots ahead of Smith. Unfortunately, neither driver made it to the final All-Star Race as Carson Hocevar and John Hunter Nemechek finished first and second, respectively, and earned a shot to win the $1 million grand prize. Dillon took issue with how Smith was driving and suggested it cost him a spot in the final race of the night. He was asked what he told Smith after the race. "Coming off (Turn) 4, I think I gave him plenty of room, and he just doors me halfway down the straightaway. … There's something about the younger guys in the sport now. They never had to deal with consequences," he said, via Dirty Mo Media. "So, what I told him was if he wrecks me again, I'm just gonna beat his a--." Smith responded in a post on X. "Ain't beating nobody's a--," he wrote. The next race for the NASCAR Cup Series is the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday night. It was one of the most anticipated races on the Cup Series schedule. All eyes will be on Dillon and Smith to see if there's any kind of retaliation. Smith is ahead of Dillon in the points standings going into the race. He sits at 22nd, and Dillon is in 30th. Christopher Bell won the NASCAR All-Star Race and secured the $1 million prize.

The 25-year-old stated at the time of the announcement: "I've always felt at home with Front Row Motorsports. "They believed in me when I signed with them to race in the Truck Series initially in 2022 and we shared so much success together, winning six races and a championship in two seasons. "Unfortunately, everyone had to make tough decisions because there were only two Cup cars available at Front Row Motorsports going into last season when I was ready to move up full-time. "Now, going into next year, Front Row has really taken their Cup program to another level and I cannot think of a better lineup of teammates. Todd (Gilliland) and Noah (Gragson) are great friends of mine and we all have a lot to prove as young drivers in the Cup Series. "It is a great time to come back and continue to build my career with an organization where I know I can win." He added: "I want to thank Bob [Jenkins, owner], Jerry [Freeze, general manager] and Mark Rushbrook at Ford for making this happen. "I know that we can win together in the Cup Series like we did in the Truck Series. It's a great time to come back as we continue to make FRM even better." NASCAR All-Star Open results 1.

Kaulig Racing NASCAR Cup Series driver Ty Dillon fumed at rival Zane Smith after All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday. After a wreck during the race involving the No. 10 Chevrolet and No. 38 Ford, Dillon was seen in a heated exchange with the Front Row Motorsports driver.

Commenting on the win, Hocevar explained: "Yeah, super big for this group, this team. It's great to win, especially being challenged by tires there. I had my hands full. We definitely have to go to work here on our race car because I didn't really like it, but it's a good sign that we didn't like it and we were still pretty quick there. "Hopefully we can take advantage of it. I've seen Kasey Kahne win and Dale and others win from the Open and stuff. Maybe we can take that advantage of having this notebook and move forward early and be able to take this Chevy up front." Nemechek also commented: "We have a shot to go win a million dollars. Hats off to this No. 42 team. We unloaded and we had good two- or three-lap speed, but no longer on pace. "Proud of them for the effort they put in yesterday and what they were able to find, and pitting there at that last deal, I knew I couldn't win from where I was at. We came and got two (tires) and that helped us out. Hats off to the whole 42 team. Proud of the effort." NASCAR All-Star Open results 1. Carson Hocever, No. 77 Chevrolet, 2.
