Kyle Busch suffered a broken nose during an altercation with Joey Logano after the NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2017.
The incident occurred post-race when Busch approached Logano to confront him about a crash that happened on the final lap. The two drivers exchanged words, and a scuffle ensued involving members of their respective pit crews. During the altercation, Busch was pulled to the ground and emerged with a bloody face, later confirmed to be a broken nose.
The conflict was rooted in on-track competition, where Busch felt that Logano had caused him to spin out and lose a potential top-five finish. NASCAR officials reviewed the incident but decided not to penalize either driver, stating that the altercation did not warrant any further action. Both drivers were called to a meeting with NASCAR officials the following week to discuss the incident and how to move forward professionally.
The scuffle and Busch’s injury became a talking point in the racing community, highlighting the intense emotions and rivalries that can emerge in the high-stakes environment of NASCAR racing. Despite the physical altercation, both drivers continued to compete in the series, and their rivalry remained a point of interest for fans and media alike.
