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.

NASCAR Cup Series Driver's Post-Race Threat and Beef Carries Over to Social Media
The 2024 All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro was won by Joey Logano but no one was talking about the Team Penske driver's win afterward but the brawl between Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. that broke out in the garage. That frustration was all a byproduct of short-track racing. Unsurprisingly, on Sunday in the 2025 version, those frustrations bubbled up yet again. Except this time it came one race earlier during the All-Star Open. Advertisement Multiple drivers were frustrated with each other after the 100-lap race, but the most notable occurred between Ty Dillon and Zane Smith. That's because after the race the Kaulig Racing driver had a brief conversation with the Front Row Motorsports driver on pit road. NASCAR Cup Series drivers race at North Wilkesboro Casey-Imagn Images A short time later, the No. 10 driver was questioned about what was said. 'Coming off 4, I think I gave him plenty of room and he just doored me about halfway down the straightaway,' Dillon said. 'I get right-reared by (Austin) Cindric. I pass him at Martinsville and he shipped me off in the corner. "I don't know. There's something about the younger guys in the sport now. They've never had to deal with consequences. What I told him was if he wrecks me again I'm just going to beat his ass.' Advertisement Smith saw Dillon's comments and responded to them later on X. 'Ain't beating nobody's ass,' he succinctly replied. Is it over? Both drivers return to the track next Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600. Race coverage begins at 6 p.m. ET on Prime. Related: Upset Joey Logano Threatens Payback After Christopher Bell's Winning Move at All-Star Race
