Corey Heim was attacked after the Late Model Stock Car race at Martinsville.
NASCAR Cup Series part-timer Corey Heim clashed with Treyten Lapcevich on the last lap of the Late Model Stock Car race while battling for second place.
The pair then collided post-race, sending Heim’s car over the front left corner of Lapcevich’s.
Heim was subsequently confronted and punched by several members of the Chad Bryant Racing team at the famous hot dog stand.
The scenes drew severe criticism from Denny Hamlin, who Heim races for in the Cup Series out of the 23XI Racing stable.
