A video of NASCAR driver Andrew Grady throwing a lawnmower at rival driver Davey Callihan’s head went viral after Grady was enraged when he thought he planted the bird on Callihan.
The shocking scene came after two drivers drove their cars into the field at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday. .
Grady is seen jumping towards Callihan’s car, and after a second or two he starts throwing quick punches to the head through the opponent’s window.
The fussy driver paused for a few seconds and then tried to run back to the vehicle until an eyewitness pulled him to end the fight.

Grady later claimed that Callihan caused the accident at the track, and when he approached the car to talk to Callihan about the race, he held out a finger at her.
The driver also added that he didn’t think Callihan was a good enough driver to deserve the race.
“He found me! So I started hitting Mike Tyson on the head,” Grady said in an interview with Racing America.
“At the end of the day, we were very, very good. The car goes fast. But damn, these scumbags come and run over us, and they have nothing to do with the latest models, especially lawnmowers,” Grady continued.
“So… not close, he bombed me, tied me up… and I wanted to talk to him and he threw me out. That’s why I started hitting Mike Tyson in the head. You’re playing sports for big kids. When you offend a man, you can kick an old man too, that’s how I feel about it,” Grady finished.
Andrew Grady said that Davey Callahan was confused while speaking, so he decided to “kick Mike Tyson in the head.”
He said there are morons in Martinsville who have nothing to do with lawnmowers, especially the latest models.

Callihan denied giving Grady the finger.
“This is a transitional position in Martinsville. I was there for me. Coming soon. But when there are 95 cars and I have to take it, you can’t give an inch for range of motion. It’s just a tough race. I’m sorry to (Grady) but we were fighting for our lives there, so I did what I had to do,” Callihan said.
“I never let anyone down. He just came in and started hitting me inside the race car, so… I understand he’s upset but it was because of the transfer again and we were just fighting for our lives,” he insisted.
“This is a transitional position in Martinsville. I was there for me. Soon.”
He said he wasn’t kidding with Andrew Grady and would talk to him.
“We fought for our lives there.”
