Enhanced Games, an alternative sports organization known for its unconventional and often provocative approach, has once again stirred controversy. They recently made fun of the physical fight that broke out between all-star NASCAR drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Kyle Busch in North Carolina. The altercation became a hot topic, drawing both humor and criticism from fans and commentators alike.

This mockery came after they had already made a post on coach Pep Guardiola, making an insensitive jab that raised many eyebrows. Despite Manchester City’s historic win, the Twitter post drew the attention away from that. Sparking widespread reaction and trolling across various platforms, Enhanced Games has now turned its jabs towards NASCAR.

Recently on Twitter post, @enhanced_games retweeted a NASCAR post, writing “Hey @NASCAR your drivers are allowed to compete and fight at the @enhanced_games but please, Enhance them… 🤣🤡” The original tweet by NASCAR was captioned, “Another angle of the confrontation after the race”. 

In the video, drivers Ricky Stenhouse and Kyle Busch are seen throwing punches at each other during the All-Star Race at the North Wilkesboro Speedway. The incident was triggered by an aggressive racing move by Stenhouse, which led to Busch retaliating. Busch said, “Ricky tried a three-wide move that just wasn’t going to work, and it cost both of us. I had to do what I had to do to protect my position.”

The altercation between Busch and Stenhouse was triggered by an on-track incident during the race. Tempers flared when Busch bumped Stenhouse’s No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, sending it into a perimeter wall. This knocked Stenhouse out of the million-dollar race. After the match, as fireworks flew to celebrate Joey Logano’s win, Stenhouse threw a right hook to Kyle’s face in the garage.

During the confrontation, Busch said, “We all hit each other.” To this, Stenhouse replied, “You hit the fence and then you hit me.” But Busch refuted saying, “I don’t believe you.” Then Stenhouse landed the first punch saying, “Go back and watch it.” Crew and other people nearby quickly swooped in to break up the fight, since it looked really dangerous.

Before this, enhanced games had come for Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola. In a tweet, they said, “Congrats @ManCity for your historic consecutive @premierleague title. And to our favorite Enhanced football coach, Pep Guardiola, for his.” Hinting at the 2001-02 case where Guardiola was banned for failing a drug test. At first glance, the post appeared to praise the immense successes of Manchester City and their manager.

However, the tone quickly shifted when reading further. The post also included a link to a Guardian article titled “Guardiola Fails Drug Test.” This unexpected turn subverted the initial congratulatory tone through sarcasm contrasting Guardiola’s achievements. Though he received a four-month suspension in January 2002, Guardiola claimed ignorance about the banned substances and was later fully acquitted years afterward.
