It looked like Cole Custer was set to take the checkered flag at this afternoon’s Silverado 250, but John Hunter Nemechek just wouldn’t let it happen with some hard-nosed driving.
As you can see below, Nemechek delivered multiple love taps to Custer before deciding to pin him to the wall:

Well, that’s one way to lock down a win — but Custer was surprisingly cool with Nemechek’s questionable tactics post-race.
Just kidding, he straight up went after him:

Nemechek’s thoughts on the controversial finish: “Rubbing is racing.”
