The NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Atlanta had plenty of fireworks both on and off the race track.
The Raptor King of Tough 250 had an interesting strategy playout with several drivers running out of fuel with less than six laps remaining in the race.
While all that excitement played out, something far more crazy was developing on some of the pitboxes.
On lap 58 of the race, Kyle Weatherman behind the wheel of the DGM Racing No. 91 Chevrolet gave a tap to JJ Yeley's No. 14 car for SS-Gree Light Racing, sending him out of control.

The bump from Weatherman didn't end Yeley's race, but it sure caused turmoil later in the night.
It fired up Yeley's crew chief, Jason Miller, so much that he had something to say following the race.
Miller confronted Weatherman after the race.
A social media rep for Weatherman's sponsor, DriveSmart, caught the video of the altercation.
Miller didn't hold back in warning Weatherman about what would happen the next time he had a run-in with Yeley.
"Next time you touch my racecar!" Miller said in a furious tone and pointing to Weatherman as he was escorted away from Weatherman's car.
The tussle certainly was premeditated, as Yeley's crew could be heard over their radio as the team vented their anger.
"I just hope someone has bail money, 'cause I'm gonna knock Kyle Weatherman the f*** out."
The team's spotter quickly responded with "I got you covered."
It didn't end there, as Toby Christie later reported that a member of Yeley's crew had inquired about where Weatherman's No. 91 pit box was.
"He better have some pants on after this race, because I'm going to come find him," he said.
Even after the altercation, Weatherman later fired back about the incident on X, as he compared the incident to a scene from the movie "Step Brothers."
"I didn't mean to touch ur drum set....." Weatherman said.

And he said that he did indeed have his pants on.
"Also I can confirm I had pants on after the race...." Weatherman said via X.
With the Xfinity Series heading to Las Vegas this weekend, will we see Weatherman vs. Yeley 2?
