Last week’s race at New Hampshire saw Christopher Bell take the chequered flag. Meanwhile, during a caution, a bizarre feud emerged. Fans were left puzzled after Austin Dillon decided to ram into Brad Keselowski only to get rammed back by an angered Keselowski.

Brad Keselowski avoided saying much about the incident. He said, “I’ll talk to him privately. I don’t need to be a jerk over the media.”
On the other hand, when asked about the incident, Dillon said, “You guys saw it, right? I mean it’s just hard racing, I guess. We’ve gone at it a couple of times the last two years; one time, I hit really hard. I just don’t like the way certain people race me, and it’s probably not the right way to do it under caution.”
When asked if he had spoken to Keselowski he responded, “No, I don’t talk to him.”
After seeing the incident and listening to the team radio, fans were not too pleased with what Dillon did and took over social media to express their thoughts.
Man, Austin’s fan is going to be embarrassed by that one. What a scumbag move.

Anybody else think dude is manufacturing drama for his trash ass tv show

That was the most casual “ Good time to wreck the 6” I ever heard.
So Austin just wanted the drama/content for his lame TV show by the looks of it. And it’s BS that his CC lied about not knowing what led up to that when it was on radio.

Why would anyone blame Brad for this? Austin I'm convinced is literally creating content for his trash TV show as he races, unnecessary 💀💀

“He knocked the tow link loose.”
Austin, you quite literally turned right into Brad.

Many suggested that Dillon did it to create drama for his TV show. This isn’t the first time that these two have locked horns before. Last year in Michigan, Keselowski punted Dillion, sending him hard into the wall.
