The NASCAR weekend at Naval Base Coronado has been chaotic, with several major wrecks and nearly an hour of red flag time in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series alone. Chaos is typical of NASCAR road racing. What is not typical is a fan running on-track in the middle of the race.
During the second red flag of Saturday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race, a fan ran onto the racing surface and over to Sheldon Creed’s car. That fan stuck his head in the driver’s window of the No. 00 Chevrolet Camaro and appeared to have a brief conversation with the California native before jumping over two fences and attempting to blend into the crowd.
"I think he's wasted."

“I think he’s wasted,” Creed said of the interaction. The CW cameras caught the fan and showed his stunt on television. Sometime afterward the fan was found and later arrested.
A lot of odd things have happened before in NASCAR. While a fan running on track is not unprecedented – the same thing happened to Matt Kenseth at Watkins Glen in 2007 – a fan running onto the track in flip flops at a military base certainly is.
