Brake check

At the 2006 Lenox Industrial Tools 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, NASCAR driver Robby Gordon brake checked Michael Waltrip during a caution period in what was seen as retaliation for contact both made earlier in the race and for an incident that occurred between the two the year prior at the same track.

The stoppage caved in the nose and radiator of Waltrip's car, leaving him stranded in the middle of the backstretch with fluid leaking onto the track.

Red Bull Racing’s chief technical officer Adrian Newey said "I think he got frustrated with Lewis not overtaking him but he still shouldn’t have brake-tested him.
