NASCAR Truck Series Driver Nick Sanchez explains what happened between him and Matt Crafton

After being left bloodied in a fight with Matt Crafton, Sanchez was taken to the infield medical care to get his wounds treated. After he was released from the medical centre, he explained to the media what exactly happened.

According to the video shared by Toby Christie via X, Sanchez stated that he felt a tap on his shoulder after the race. As soon as he turned around to look at the person, Crafton punched him in the face, which left him with a bloody face.

"I mean, I was walking back to the hauler, got a tap on my back and got punched in the face. It was a cheap shot. It is what it is, I guess," he said to the media waiting outside the medical center.

He continued:

"Yeah, I'm all for fighting, but no cheap shots. I really never had a chance to get him back. It's a part of racing."

When asked about his injury, he stated that he might have a slight crack in his nose but he doesn't need any stitches for his wound to close up.
