With the way every race ends, the NASCAR is slowly turning into WWE on wheels. There were no crashes in this one to produce an ounce of blood but Jeff Gordon, Brad Kaselowski, Kevin Harvick and a slew of crew members and spectators got involved in an all-out brawl at the pit stop just after the Texas Sunday's AAA Texas 500 concluded.

A fuming Jeff Gordon confronted Kaselowski after he got out his vehicle. Gordon's left rear tire was cut from a manoeuvre by Kaselowski, which knocked off Gordon from the lead and even dropped him to all the way to 29th place. Gordon was ahead of Kaselowski and Jimmie Johnson when the former tried to squeeze in between the two vehicles. Kaselowski's car banged with the right side door of Gordon's vehicle and cut off his tire and with the rear tire blown, the vehicle spun out of control and erased his lead for good. Kaselowski on the other hand, finished third.

Things got ugly when Gordon parked his vehicle next to Kaselowski at the pit stop. Invectives were hurled by the American professional racer shouting that Kaselowski "You wrecked my f***ing car you piece of ***t." The two were being separated by their crew and thing appeared to just escalate on the verbal level when Kevin Harvick played instigator. As Gordon was shouting his choice words for the leader of Team Penske, Harvick went over and pushed Kaselowski towards the 43-year-old driver and shouted "Why don't you fight your own fight?" And that was when the free-for-all melee broke out.

Gordon and Kaselowski were not able to throw punches at each other but after the commotion, Gordon appeared with a busted lip and blood running down. There were a lot of punches thrown mostly by crew members and it was unclear who struck who, but the primary drivers involved both came with gashes.

"It's his disregard for what's going on out there," Gordon said per Sporting News. "There's things that forces him to defend him(self) like that. It's a shame. It's a real shame, you know"

NASCAR has already made its statements on the turn of events and condemned the physical contact that occurred between the racers and crew members. It is already reviewing the tape of incident and will mete out the penalties in the upcoming days. Watch the full video below of the pit stop brawl between Jeff Gordon and Brad Kaselowski:
