However, this time the fight took place between Xfinity Series drivers Matt Snider and Austin Hill. Fans soon took to social media to discuss the rash incident.

Apparently, the two had an on-track incident following which Snider decided to have a chat with him. However, soon that chat turned heated and led to an all-out brawl and Snider found himself tossed to the ground after Hill knocked him down. The two were immediately separated and the fight was stopped.
Following the incident, Hill told the media, “Haven’t seen the replay, but the 51 got into me, I think he might have had help from the No. 2 or something and that got us into the back with all the mess again.” This is what apparently caused the on-track incident between the two drivers. Hill also stated how he was seated in his car and Snider walked up to him and started “running his mouth,” after which apparently Hill asked Snider to back off, but Snider did not listen to him. Soon things escalated and the RCR driver decided to show Snider his place.

Austin Hill was mega aggressive in that race, but only because NASCAR loves to cause drama by making this wreck-to-pass track the cutoff race.

Wow Austin Hill is probably the wrong guy to pick a fight with.

@_AustinHill is a big ‘ol corn fed country boy. I’d be very cautious starting 💩 with him.

When it comes to an altercation, @_AustinHill looks like someone you'd want on your side. Looks like he can easily hold his own.

It is kind of funny to think that you decide to have a fight but miscalculate the opponent’s strength. Sure any fighting off-track isn’t great, but after this altercation, one would doubt anyone else would mess with Hill.
