MARTINSVILLE, Va. – In true, short-track fashion, tempers flared and then overflowed into the garage area during the conclusion to the NASCAR Xfinity Series Cook Out 250 Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. Gaulding went on to finish 21st, while the wreck ended Graf’s day and left him 38th in the rundown. Gaulding didn’t mince words when admitting he got into Graf’s car on purpose at lap 176. “Oh yeah, I 100 percent wrecked him, and I’d do it again all over again,” Gaulding said. “I think for me, it’s just like early in the race, we get the green. Graf, not happy that Gaulding viewed the incident on the race track as payback, confirmed he “landed a couple” blows during the altercation in the garage area after the race. I don’t recall any time earlier in the race where I drove him like that or wrecked him like that.
