In response, Callihan notes that his move on track was for a transfer spot into the feature race at Martinsville adding that “you can’t give an inch for the transfer spot when there’s 95 cars and I had to take it.” He denies that he flipped off Grady later, too.
“It was for a transfer position at Martinsville. From my perspective, I was there. It was close.”
He says he didn’t flip off Andrew Grady and would have had a conversation about it.
“We were fighting for our lives out there.”
