A fight broke out after the race among Kyle Petty and his crew and members of Johnny Benson’s crew. Petty explained that a misunderstanding on the track at the time of the rain delay (Benson apparently not liking that Petty and two other drivers passed him in the race to the yellow flag) sparked the incident. He said that at the red flag, when teams parked their cars on pit road, Petty parked his car in the position he felt he had earned on the track, ahead of Benson. At that time, Petty said, a member of Benson’s crew kicked the right-rear fender of Petty’s car, denting it. Petty found out and approached Benson’s people in the pits after the race. A scuffle broke out between Petty and Benson team spokesman Drew Brown, with crewmen from both sides trying to break up the mess. No one suffered any damage(5-27-97)
