Gallagher apologizes for fight
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Spencer Gallagher apologized Monday for his role in a fight with John Wes Townley during NASCAR’s Truck Series race at Gateway Motorsports Park.
The two were involved in a pair of on-track incidents that culminated in a scuffle during Saturday night’s race. After both drivers climbed from their damaged trucks, Townley charged at Gallagher and knocked him to the ground.
“The incident earlier in the race was not intentional and certainly was not meant to cause bigger problems later in the event,” Gallagher said. “My crew, who have worked so hard to get me to where I am this season, did not deserve to have their night ended in that way.
The fight has received widespread attention on various media platforms, and NASCAR chairman Brian France said jokingly Monday on Sirius NASCAR Radio that neither driver has a future as a UFC champion.

Manziel attorney resigns
DALLAS – Johnny Manziel’s spokeswoman says an attorney who accidently sent The Associated Press a text message with details related to the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback’s domestic violence case has resigned from the defense team.
Denise Michaels on Monday confirmed her earlier tweet that Bob Hinton had withdrawn from the case, which is being led by El Paso attorney Jim Darnell.
The AP reported last week that Hinton’s inadvertent text indicated he had doubts about Manziel’s ability to stay clean and that he was given a receipt that allegedly shows Manziel may have spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store the day following a hit-and-run crash. The text was sent Wednesday after the AP sought comment via text about the crash.
The 23-year-old Manziel faces a misdemeanor assault chart on allegations of hitting and threatening former girlfriend Colleen Crowley in January.
