All of the close racing in NASCAR can lead to a little bumping, rubbing and eventually road rage. When tempers reach their limit, drivers tend to let their emotions out in different ways.

In the second race at Bristol, a battle for the lead between Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick led to a little nudge to Hamlin's back quarter panel from Harvick, ending with Hamlin hitting the wall and side-swiping Dale Earnhardt Jr. The frustrated Hamlin got out of the car to assess damage, and then grabbed his Hans device (Head and neck support) and threw it at Harvick coming back around the track.

When Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. raced a little too closely in Atlanta, the two bumped and pushed each other on the track like they were enjoying a ride at the fair. Their actions affected the race, but they were both in the back when the incident happened. A discussion in the pits afterwards must have resolved any further demolition.

When racing hard at Charlotte with several drivers, Brad Keselowski took out his frustration after the race and slammed into Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. Kenseth did not show any appreciation for the bump and attacked Keselowski between two trailers after the race. Tension had been building between the two for a while and finally reached a boiling point.

After a race in Richmond, Marcos Ambrose and Casey Mears had a heated discussion that led to pushing and eventually Ambrose throwing a hard punch at Mears. Ambrose must be training at a boxing gym by the look of his hook. Drivers in NASCAR can sigh with relief that Ambrose is no longer a Sprint Cup regular.

The most exciting scuffle of 2014 came in Texas during the Chase. After Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski collided, the two had words that led to a pit lane brawl between drivers and several crew members. Both were seen with bumps and bruises afterward. Arguments can be made that the drivers take it too far and NASCAR lets these scuffles happen, but the passion coming from these drivers can't be denied.
