A fan wearing flip-flops climbed over two fences separating the track and approached Sheldon Creed, who was driving the #00 Haas Factory Team Ford, engaging in conversation with him. The conversation culminated in a fist bump; the fan then slapped the car&#039;s hood and, while attempting to climb back over the fence, left one of his flip-flops behind. The seriousness of the incident was heightened considering the race was held at a US military base; federal agents quickly apprehended and handcuffed the man.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"tr\">During a red flag at a San Diego NASCAR race, a fan in flip-flops ran onto the track and fist-bumped Sheldon Creed \u2014 federal agents immediately took him into custody! <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/NASCAR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NASCAR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/SanDiego?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SanDiego<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FrenYok?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FrenYok<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xWCbYrgv92\">pic.twitter.com\/xWCbYrgv92<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fren Yok (@frenyok46) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/frenyok46\/status\/2068708036928008500?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>\u201c&quot;We are not involved in this.&quot;\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Creed immediately relayed the following message over the team radio after the incident: &#039;I think he&#039;s drunk. I didn&#039;t even understand what he was saying. Please inform our officials that we have no connection with this man.&#039; Speaking to Motorsport.com reporter Matt Weaver after the race, Creed recounted the details of that bizarre exchange. Taking advantage of his spotter asking him to assess the damage, Creed asked, &#039;How does my damage look?&#039; to which the fan replied, &#039;Bad!&#039; and then asked, &#039;Are you still racing?&#039; While Creed tried to remove the man from the scene after being warned by the spotter, he watched in astonishment as the fan quickly climbed over the fence.<\/p>\n<h2>Major accident before red flag<\/h2>\n<p>The red flag that triggered the incident was linked to a massive chain of accidents at the restart.
