NASCAR officials told a driver to park it mid-race, so he left his car on the start-finish line

Josh Williams was less than pleased about NASCAR telling him his day was done.

Welcome to FTW’s NASCAR Feud of the Week, where we provide a detailed breakdown of the latest absurd, funny and sometimes legitimate controversies and issues within the racing world.

This time around, it’s Josh Williams versus NASCAR.

When NASCAR officials command you to do something during a race, it’s best to listen to them. But perhaps not quite as literally as Xfinity Series driver Williams hilariously did.

At Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, the second-tier series driver was involved in an incident on Lap 27 of the 163-lap race. After pitting, Williams and his team were able to get the the No. 92 Chevrolet back out on the track but not for long.

As Motorsport.com noted, after the repairs, parts of the car were flying off onto the track, which led NASCAR officials to park Williams, telling him to go to the garage and that the team’s race day was over.

Unsurprisingly, that didn’t sit well with Williams. So he took NASCAR’s direction to park it extremely literally, parking his car on the start-finish line, walking across the infield grass and waving to fans as he left the track.

Similarly unsurprisingly, NASCAR didn’t appreciate where Williams left his car, and according to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, the driver was called to NASCAR’s hauler to have a surely stern talk with officials.

While it’s unclear what exactly will happen, it’s likely Williams will be penalized by NASCAR in some way for his actions.
