"Me and Tony Stewart racing at Pikes Peak. I was trying to pass Tony and run into him over and over and over, and he finally punted me down into Turn one on the restart. And they asked us to come to the NASCAR hauler and so we went there and there was an altercation, and pushing and shoving between me and his crew chief, and Tony senior was kind of in it and Stewart he was in it but nobody really ever got popped or anything."
Dale Jr. then claimed that this was the first time he met Stewart and narrated what Stewart told him the next time they met.
"Next week we're in Milwaukee, I'm walking into the pits. He came up to me on Friday morning before the first practice and said, 'Hey man, we're gonna be racing each other a long time so let's be friends. Let's not run into each anymore and let's not drag this out... I got no problem with you. I'm cool. Let's just be cool,'" said Dale Earnhardt Jr.
