Brandon Brown and Ryan Sieg made contact on lap 60 of Saturday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series O’Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway. The contact set Brown into the wall and following the 300-mile event, Brown showcased his displeasure for Sieg.
NBC Sports’ Dustin Long snapped video of the altercation:

The interesting part about this feud is that earlier in the season, Sieg provided Brown a car at Richmond so Brown could continue to run every race in his rookie campaign. Now, many months later the two find themselves at odds.
Sieg chalked up the incident to Brown’s spotter not telling him that Sieg’s No. 39 was to the inside or that Brown simply didn’t listen.

If Brown is to retaliate, Sieg says that Brown will have to catch him first.
