Video footage obtained by StockCarReport.com shows Kyle Moore and Brandon Morrow trading sliders and crossovers for second on Aug. 29 at Wayne County Speedway.
The clip shows Moore searching for a way around Morrow for a handful of laps before he throws a slider into turn 1. Morrow was able to counter him by driving around him and maintaining the position.
A few laps later Moore tried his hand on the opposite end of the track throwing a slider into 3 and 4. Again, Morrow countered. However, this time he crossed Moore over on the exit of four and retook the position down the front stretch.
After getting his momentum wound up again, Moore attempted to slide Morrow again through 1 and 2. Unlike the first time, Morrow did not try to drive around, but instead moved to cross him over. The two made contact as they were exiting turn 2 and Moore spun down the track coming to a stop facing the wrong direction.
Following this on-track incident Morrow shared that Moore eliminated him under caution. He wrote in a post to Facebook, “Started 8th with the full field invert. Moved to 5th and got through a first lap wreck. Passed my way to 2nd by lap 3 and stayed there until I was eliminated under caution on lap 15.”
“From laps 6-15 I defended and crossed back over slider attempts from the 1*. Not sure how many . . . 7-10 or so,” he elaborated. “On lap 15 coming out of turn 2 we made contact as I was driving back past inside of a parked slider. It was light contact that damaged nothing on my car. The 1* spun out, drawing the caution. While under yellow he circled behind me and drove up under the LR of the car destroying all the LR suspension, disconnecting the battery, and spinning me around.”
“He then circled back through the infield at an high rate of speed and TBoned the RF, wrecking that suspension, wheel, and tire as well. He then immediately raced back to his pit as fast as possible,” Morrow stated.
Wayne County Speedway suspended Moore for the retaliation. They announced on Facebook, “Wayne County Speedway officials have completed a review of the on-track incident involving Kyle Moore and Brandon Morrow during the racing program on Saturday, August 29, 2026.”
“Following that review, Wayne County Speedway has suspended Kyle Moore from competition for the remainder of the 2026 racing season. The suspension applies to all divisions and classes of competition at Wayne County Speedway,” the track declared. “Moore will also be placed on probation for the entirety of the 2027 racing season.”
Additionally, the track shared that it was in the wrong to allow Moore to continue competing on Saturday after the incident, “We also recognize that Moore was permitted to continue competing in Saturday night’s racing program following the incident. After reviewing the circumstances and information available to us, we believe that was the wrong decision. We take responsibility for that decision. We will learn from it and use this situation to improve how similar incidents are handled moving forward.”
After being suspended and placed on probation, Moore issued an apology. He wrote, “I want to apologize to our fans, partners, family, friends, and everyone who supports us for what happened at Wayne County Speedway.”
“I know I’m better than that and I should’ve handled things differently. I’ll own my part, learn from it and do better moving forward,” he continued. “Thank you to everyone who continues to stand behind us. We’ll get a game plan together and let everyone know our plans for this weekend soon. 🏁”
Morrow also shared his reaction to the suspension, “Thank you to Wayne County Speedway management. Because we are still without video of the incident under caution, track management talked with as many people as they could in 48 hours to come to their conclusion. Their efforts are appreciated. We look forward to putting our focus on getting Mom back to 100%, getting the car back together properly, and having the kind of fun we were having at the track until all of this took place!”
