It is unclear what precipitated the fight.
The man in the white shirt connected with a few punches before officers came over to break up the melee.
Meanwhile, for Larson, he earned himself $1 million for the win at the All-Star Race. It was his third time winning the NASCAR event. He topped Bubba Wallace by more than 4.5 seconds and Tyler Reddick by more than 6.7 seconds.

"We had a great car in the long runs and I was thinking that for sure there was going to be a caution," said Larson, who also won the Truck Series race on Saturday. "I got out to a big lead and I could see everybody's cars were driving like crap in front of me."
Wallace took his hat off to Larson.
