Dustin Little had enough of Jeff Byers after he was involved in multiple run-ins with DJ Little during the Street Stock race at Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday night.

It all started on Lap 16 of the 30 lap Street Stock feature when Byers clearly ran into the rear of DJ Little as the two drove down into turn one. The contact sent Little spinning around and bringing out the caution.
On the following restart, DJ Little would start right behind Byers and ride around behind him for a couple of laps before DJ Little spun out by himself coming out of turn four. The spin would bring out another caution.

The next restart saw DJ Little start at the rear of the field due to the wreck, but he would get a huge run as the green flag came out bringing him to the inside of Byers as the two came onto the back stretch. It appeared the two made contact, with Byers pulling ahead.
However, going into turn three Little would pull to the inside of Byers but they continued to race side by side. The two would make significant contact coming out of turn four with Little riding way up the track and Byers spinning out.
Following the wreck, Hickory Motor Speedway track announcer Jason Sherrill would inform viewers on FloRacing, “A stern warning coming from NASCAR race control for the 64 and the 11, the Jeff Byers and DJ Little machines. They have been told if they touch one more time tonight they will be parked.”

When they went green again, Dustin Little would use his vehicle to trap Byers behind him while DJ Little passed him on the bottom.
Byers would then ram into the rear of Dustin Little’s vehicle spinning him out on the back stretch right after the two came out of turn two.

Tempers then erupted during the caution as Sherrill revealed that Byers spun out DJ Little. “And Jeff Byers turning — Ohhh! He gets airborne. These two are going at it it turn one and two.”
Dustin Little, who had pulled into the pits during the caution, then stormed onto the track and accelerated into the rear end of Byers as he just finished turning his car around after the incident with DJ Little.
