Stenhouse Jr. and Busch, Buscher and Reddick, and now, Ryan Newman and Tommy Baldwin Jr. All of them share a common thread—fiery disputes! Such heated altercations are currently trending in the NASCAR scene, looks like. 

Another trend at the motorsport scene seems to be–fathers stepping in for their son’s fight! This month we have seen two such instances. One with Stenhouse Sr taking jabs in the face by Kyle during the Busch and Stenhouse Jr fight. And what do you know? Now you have another similar instance. But what exactly went down?

Former NASCAR ace and Tommy Baldwin Jr. shouting insults at each other

Ryan Newman got into a heated exchange with Tommy Baldwin Jr. and ended up shoving Baldwin after he felt Baldwin’s son Luke didn’t race him cleanly for the lead in Friday night’s SMART Modified Tour event at Franklin County Speedway in Virginia.

During the race with eight to go, Baldwin’s son Luke used up Newman and he got bitter about it. So at that point, both of them looked like contenders to win the race but after the incident–none of them claimed victory. This did upset Newman hugely and he went to confront Luke Baldwin. But Baldwin Jr. was in line waiting to intervene. In no time, all the anger and dislike directed at Luke was aimed at him instead. 

Newman shouted, “He drove me into the f*****g fence!” Baldwin Jr. tried responding to this but was immediately countered by Newman again. He shouted, “Are you driving the car? Shut the f*ck up and go relax in the pit. Shut the f*ck up.“

This tipped off the boiling point even for Baldwin and he too went ahead to shout expletives. “F*ck you,” he said, before being pushed by Newman. But before things could escalate, the rest of the team came and separated them. But Baldwin Jr did send off the 46-year-old with a warning–“Don’t try to touch him!” 

NASCAR fans live for the drama, and any fight or controversy, and they want a bite of it. So when a former NASCAR racer got into a fight with a team owner, they couldn’t help but chime in the drama!

NASCAR enthusiasts are well-known for strong opinions, often creating a significant imbalance between the two sides. However, in this instance, opinions were split right down the middle.

While some fans rallied behind Ryan Newman, others remained unconvinced. One supporter passionately exclaimed, “And this is why we need Ryan Newman back in NASCAR.” Notably, Newman retired from NASCAR after a crash and even though there are rumors of him returning, nothing has been confirmed.

While some users were rooting for him to be back, some outright showed dislike for him. One fan, highlighting his aggressive behavior, said, “Newman being Newman. I ain’t mad he’s out of Cup tbh.”

And Newman is someone who has always tended to show his aggressive side. and his imposing personality only adds to his intimidating presence. One user bluntly said, “It’s 2024 and people still don’t get it to know not to f*ck with Ryan Newman like c’mon Tommy.”

Echoing the same sentiment, another user challenged Baldwin Jr to try to fight Newman. He said, “Bro I DAREEEEEE him to fight Ryan Newman. That’s a guaranteed L.” Another fan said something similar. “Why would anyone want to pick a fight with Ryan Newman lmao dudes a tank and has that farm strength”

While someone in the comments couldn’t hold back his humor when Baldwin Jr shouted insults. He said, “’You f’ing touch him I’ll f’ing beat your f’ing ass’ just hits differently with that great Long Island accent.”
