Kyle Busch versus Dale Earnhardt Jr.

While these two Cup drivers have an abundance of reasons to duke it out on their own, the main reason this one is on the list due to the massive fan response it would create in the world of NASCAR. It’s no secret that Kyle Busch was angry at Earnhardt JR’s for his popularity in The Cup Series, and he would no doubt jump at the chance to prove he’s the better fighter when it comes to fists.

As for Earnhardt Jr, taking out Kyle Busch, who beat him to a championship, would be a great way to prove that he has more in common with his father then what some fans believe. It would also be another great reason for JR Nation, to celebrate, especially if JR was able to nail him with a nice jab to the face.

Danica Patrick versus Kyle Petty

This is on the list for one reason and one reason only and that’s because of Kyle Petty’s comments about Danica Patrick not being able to driver a racecar. This entry on the list is also in large part due to Richard Petty, who told reporters back in 2014 that Danica Patrick would only win a race if every other driver” stayed home.”

With that being said and the validity of Petty’s statements so far aside, it would probably be must see TV if Danica Patrick decided to step into a ring to fight it out. In fact, one has to wonder how exactly Kyle Petty would fair in a fight with a woman who is well-known for her temper on and even off the track. If nothing else, it would be at least amazing to see Patrick hit him in his big mouth a few times for good measure.

Brad Keselowski versus Jeff Gordon

If their brawl at Texas Motor Speedway in 2014 was any indication, it should come as no surprise that these two men know how to throw down when the time comes down to it. While this is technically one that we’ve already seen, it could really only be considered a preview to what these men could have done if they didn’t have their respective teams and NASCAR officials separating them.

Furthermore, Keselowski still owes Jeff Gordon a little payback for his comments earlier this year about an alleged illegal body modification used by Keselowski’s team during a pit stop. Sure, the two sat down and discussed in a highly anticipated interview segment the very next week, but there is little doubt these two could meet again in even more vicious fashion if the situation calls for it.

Kevin Harvick versus Ty Dillon

All give and no take. Those were the words used Richard Childress used to describe an on track confrontation during the fall Camping World Series Truck Series race at Martinsville. Harvick decided to make matters all the worse by taking a cheap shot at Childress’s grand kids and said that they had a silver spoon put in their mouths.

Sure, Harvick apologized for the incident and nothing else has happened between the two drivers, but hell if it wouldn’t be interesting to see these two take off the gloves and the helmets to see who would win in a battle of fisticuffs If that isn’t enough to entice any racing fan eager for a beat down to purchase a ticket to this blockbuster, maybe Kevin Harvick’s sessions in MMA training will!

Tony Stewart versus Kurt Busch

Once again, these two drivers have had it out before, but it would must see TV to witness it again. There’s also the fact that most of the altercations between these two took place on the track instead of in the infield, which further shows just how bad this matchup of immortals needs to happen. Both aggressive, both champions and both total bad asses of our sport! It’s a match made in heaven.

Stewart might have the size advantage on Busch, which is more wiry and tall than Stewart, but Busch has been known to go into serious fits of rage at times. With that being said, both these men would be excellent combatants to see duke it out in the ring, especially given their history with each other and their seemingly massive egos!
