The incident between Shane & Brandon happened during qualifying. Paul's comment was in reference to the race.
I'm not saying that money had NOTHING to do with the qualifying incident as it obviously it brought a lot of new faces into town that otherwise wouldn't have been there... but Paasch was doing what Paasch and a ton of other racers do EVERYWHERE in the MotoAmerica series. Shane, not used to being the guy getting followed, but being one of the top dogs at Loudon, got pissed and lost his shit.
And that had FAR more influence on the qualifying situation than did money.
