Overview
- Greg Martin, 51, drove into Matt Henderson’s parked car in the pits at I-75 Speedway in Tennessee, knocking over two crew members.
- Track medics treated both men, with one later hospitalized for a head gash closed with eight staples and bruised ribs.
- Officials disqualified Martin on the spot, police arrested him on an aggravated assault charge, and the Best Plumber 604 Racing Series banned him for at least two years.
- Spectators and a drone recorded the pit strike, while Martin’s claim of cut brake lines is disputed by track staff who reported no sign of leaking fluid.
- Henderson said he caused the earlier on-track contact by bottoming out, and series leaders emphasized that striking a car in a crowded pit area violates core safety standards.
