Bubba Wallace shoved Kyle Larson multiple times after he appeared to intentionally crash Larson after Wallace brushed the wall while the two drivers raced side-by-side off Turn 4 in the first stage of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas.
Larson was on Wallace’s inside and his car drifted up the track. Wallace’s car hit the wall and then went left and hit the right rear of Larson’s car. That crashed both of them and also collected playoff driver Christopher Bell.
Wallace immediately exited his car after the crash and walked across the track and into the infield where Larson was exiting his car. He pushed Larson multiple times as Larson clearly did not want to engage in a fight of any sort.

the next stage — driving with boxing gloves
No problem, just pop a new battery in and you can be back in the race in about an hour and a half.
“Leeroy, did you see those two men fightin’ after the NASCAR wreck?”
“Yeh, I did. They were pushin’ each other right there next to pink cancer ribbon...”
hilarious.
this clown sees a noose everywhere from the sky to his bathroom.
Or A.J. Foyt, back in the day... That’d be a good ‘un!
Wallace: class act? Not!!!
Not a good look for his primary sponsor, McDonalds. There’s a chance they’ll drop him over this.
Wallace should be banned from the sport.
He'll eventually "ban" himself from the sport -- just like Kaepernick, no one will want to work with him. He's an asshat pill, and always blames everything but himself for his troubles.
Dude can't drive, simple as that -- at least not at the Cup level. In this case he over corrected and put himself into the wall. Yeah, Kyle lost traction and rode up into him, but then Bubba freaked out and veered into the wall.
Come on man! At least let us see him push the wrong guy, just once!
Different rules for wokeworld. Wallace is an officially protected person. Anyone that touches him ever on the track will have their career ended. Just like the Capitol Police lieutenant who said ‘I’m different’.
Just FYI ... they already race electric cars in the Formula ‘E’. They solve the recharge issue by allowing each team to have two identical cars ready to race, fully charged up obviously. Then the race distance is set to force each team to make the driver switch from their first car to the second.
While the cars look much like ICE race cars they are much lighter and consequently more fragile. Just about any contact with another car or an obstruction is likely to be a race ending event for that team.
The competition is generally pretty good and the cars are not slow.
The team owners are trying to negotiate a better split of money with the start of the new 2025 TV contract. NASCAR is playing hard ball. Maybe NASCAR realizes that their sport is in a small window with electric cars around the corner. Not one really wants to hear EVs race, no MFG wants to pay to race EVs. Racing will not work to sell EVs. So what to do? Make as much money as you can, as fast as you can! This negotiation will be very telling on the future of NASCAR.
You think Wallace would know better than this.
Didn’t he see what Tony Stewart did to that guy in the sprint track race?
Setting a bad example for other drivers.
Wonder if this was staged in attempt to goose NOOSECAR’s ratings...
Think about a multi golf cart pile up and the days of race delays while they extinguish the raging fires and rebuild of the track. The infield party would be a blast!
Not to mention Larson had to do a lot of groveling and ass kissing to get back in a ride after uttering the “nagger” word during the covid e-racing crap. So I could see his reluctance to engage with Bubba Smollet
It’s NASCAR, they wreck all the time. Nobody has claimed that Larson’s move was anything but normal racing. If there’s no foul, forget it and move on.
And one of the best racers in NASCAR.
