Bubba Wallace missed Sunday’s NASCAR race, and that’s evidently not his only sanction after losing his cool in Las Vegas last weekend.
Denny Hamlin — who, along with Michael Jordan, co-owns the 23XI racing team that Wallace drives for — said Oct. 22 that the team has dealt with matters in a way that goes “above and beyond” the penalties handed down by NASCAR.
Hamlin didn’t say what that means, choosing to keep those matters in-house.
One racing analyst that "means" Wallace will have to forfeit a big chunk of money out of his 23XI purse, possibly more than $1 million in fines.
“He understands where I stand, where the team stands, the values that we want to present on the racetrack, and he just didn’t represent it that well last week,” Hamlin said. “But, you know, in the grand scheme of things, we’re very happy with his progress. And he knows he’s still got some stuff to work on when he gets out of the race car.”

That may not be enough to satisfy sport critcs - and fans, however.
As we have reported, former NASCAR Cup Series driver and current analyst for NBC Sports Kyle Petty made it clear he disagrees with NASCAR’s punishment and believes Wallace should have been suspended for the rest of the season.
And there is a spreading demand among NASCAR fans for principal sponsor McDonald's to drop Wallace completely...which would cost him and the team a huge sum.

How long before they call the penalties, a “lynching”?
Well, I guess this race baiter can always hang to hope.
Rules, laws and consequences don’t seem to apply...
Race team owner best watch out, because there’s about to be a million “nooses” found in his garages.
Was the “Rubbin’ Is Racin’” card thrown out?
No one ever said you have to be an Einstein to drive to the end of a straight away and turn left. Apparently it is pretty self-evident. Watch a Race and a hockey game breaks out. Useless is as useless does. FBW and FJB.
who does he think he is?
will smith?
I know Wallace sees himself as the new Black Panther but the boy needs to straighten up. He can either be a punkass half black agitator or he can be a NASCAR driver. It’s up to him.
Bubba is weak.
He’s a pathetic clown. He’s done great harm to racing.
String him up...
;-)
At least for calling out the FIB for a monkey fist.
Now he’s into Race-ing.
Just hollow him out and make a wet suit
He is a garage door rope ambulance chaser
“Diversity is our strength”
Affirmative action race car drivers... what a country!
“No one ever said you have to be an Einstein to drive to the end of a straight away and turn left. “
No, but you have to be a dang good driver tomdo it at 200 mph inches from another car.
At least they didn’t leave any pull-ropes hanging around for him to be traumatized by.
