NASCAR announced Tuesday that it had suspended Bubba Wallace from the next Cup Series Championship event after his incident with Kyle Larson in Las Vegas Sunday.
After Larson's car forced Wallace's car into the wall, Wallace returned the favor by hitting the rear of Larson's car, forcing Larson's car to spin out. After the crash, Wallace got in Larson's face and pushed him.
Wallace had a tense conversation with a reporter after the incident, telling NBC Sports' Marty Snider to "stop fishing" for an answer he didn't want to give.
"My behavior does not align with core values that are shared by 23XI Racing and our partners, who have played a crucial role in my incredible journey to the top of this great sport," Wallace’s statement said.
"I want to apologize to NASCAR and the fans, along with Christopher Bell, Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota for putting them in a situation in the playoffs that they do not deserve.

You beat me to that response.
You’d think Bubba’s fans would be up in arms...except he doesn’t have any. Except BLM who only want to destroy stuff and 99% of them probably haven’t ever heard of NASCAR.
Notice he didn’t apologize to Kyle Larson which he should have after reviewing the crash footage.
“...by a mob of Trump supporters wearing red MAGA hats over their white KKK hoods.”

Boy. You sure nailed us on that one. Oh darn. And to think I believed no one noticed my white hood. Darn. Darn. Darn. Have to learn to hide it better.
Clearly NASCAR is covering for the racism that Larson demonstrated in the race by touching Bubba (you all are racists) Wallace. NASCAR created the punk that is Bubba Wallace. Now it can no longer turn a blind eye to his antics.
probably a bad tipper too...
[[He should have been banned for a year for the noose incident when it happened. ]]
I gave hi. The benefit of the doubt AT FIRST thinking that “perhaps” he was unaware that all the garages had PULL DOWN LOOPS THAT RESEMBLED A NOOSE SOMEWHAT (emphasis added because that was the main issue) BUT, after he learned the truth, he still insisted he was the target of a hate crime, and he trashed everyone that didn’t beleive him. To this day he probably still lies about the incident and won’t accept the fact that he was wrong and issue an apology to all those he trashed over the lie.
He has turned out to be a disgrace to the sport, and sponsors should keep.their distance from him because he is a bad example of the sport. But he isn’t alone. Leaders at nascar have gone full woke too, and have further been a disgrace to the sport.
I notice that stadiums that used to be standing room only almost are now quite empty. Whoever is pushing the woke crap in Nascar should be fired for Injuring the sport.
Blubba was accurately depicting the scene one might expect walking into any random McDonald’s. The sponsor should be proud.
Now imagine what would have happened if that had been Dale Earnhardt who Wallace shoved instead of Kyle Larson.
Butt, if they dump him now -————— because he black(ish). $$$$$$$$$$$
Many drivers get squeezed towards the wall on corners in many many rzces throughout each year, and they don’t foul it up like Bubba did. Bubba alone was responsible for over-reacting. Bubba had plenty of room to correct his car once the air in front of his car moved him up the truck slightly, like so,many drivers have done in the past, but he flubbed it up big time and blamed larson, and attacked larson in what could have been a deadly attack had larson gone into a roll as a result.
Bubba needs to at the very least be suspended for as long as larson was suspended for using a pejorative on what he thought was a private line. What Bubba did was far more serious than what larson did, and it should not be tolerated- lives were at stake, and Bubba has proven himself to be a dangerous and irresponsible hothead who erupts in anger even when he is to blame
WGAF.
Yep- the blacklash would be unbearable
Dale Jr woild have hugged Bubba and complied with everything Bubba demanded of him. Jr kept having Bubba on his show after the noose hoax, coddling Bubba and tellitelling him and the audience thst Bubba did nothing g wrong and that we were all racists to think he did.
Or Rusty Wallace throwing a water bottle at Earnhardt, or Earnhardt and LaBonte getting together on last lap at Bristol.
All you have to do is look at the Xfinity race the day before. Very similarly, Almendinger squeezed Josh Berry into the outside wall, who said afterwards he wasn't lifting. Josh Berry admitted Almendinger gave him enough room, just not an inch more. Berry bounced off the wall and kept going. Instead of having a temper tantrum, he won the race
I don’t like Bubba Wallace, but two drivers banging into each other and taking each other out, is as old as NASCAR itself, I don’t remember anyone getting suspended for an entire race, fined yes, suspended no...
HOW LONG did it take the team PR group to frame all that statement?
How much of a lecture did he get from HAMLIN & MICHAEL JORDAN?
His temper showed which side of the street he really lives on.
Richard Petty came around both of them & won the race——
You might be referring to the 2001 Daytona 500 & Dale Earnhardt SR.
