The pilots of the Nascar series, Ty Dillon and Zane Smith, built tensions between them during the stars racing festivities in North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday evening.
Dillon finished third in Open All-Star, six places ahead of Smith. Unfortunately, no pilot has reached the last stars race while Carson Hocevar and John Hunter Nemechek finished first and second respectively, and won a shot to win the Grand Prix of $ 1 million.

Dillon challenged the way Smith led and suggested that it cost him a place in the last race of the night. He was asked what he said to Smith after the race.
“Going out (turn) 4, I think I gave him a lot of room, and he makes me just halfway.
“So what I said to him is if he emanates me again, I’m just going to beat his A–.”

Smith responded in an article on X.
“Do not beat anyone is not a …”, he wrote.
The next race for the Nascar Cup series is Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday evening. It was one of the most anticipated races on the Cup series calendar.
All eyes will be on Dillon and Smith to see if there are reprisals.
Smith is ahead of Dillon in the points ranking in the race. He sits at the 22nd and Dillon is in 30th.
