NASCAR BRAWL IS BUSCH LEAGUE!

Fans applaud as Stenhouse punch riles up rival Kyle

NASCAR champ Ricky Stenhouse Jr. punched rival Kyle Busch in the kisser following the circuit's recent All-Star Race in North Carolina and sources dish fellow drivers were secretly cheering for the slugger behind the scenes! The heated confrontation is the latest chapter in one of the sport's nastiest feuds - but an insider tells The National ENQUIRER track bad boy Busch is largely loathed by fans and competitors alike!

"There was a LOT of drivers wishing they were the ones to punch Kyle, and they admire Ricky for doing it," the tipster snitches. "Kyle not only often races out of control and causes collisions he gets all whiny when he loses a race and complains about everything other than his driving!"
