Following his altercation with Kyle Larson last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, NASCAR has handed a one-race suspension to Bubba Wallace. He becomes the first Cup Series driver to be benched since Matt Kenseth in 2015. Full story ⬇️
On Tuesday, NASCAR suspended 23XI Racing Toyota driver Wallace from this weekend’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway for intentionally wrecking Larson's Hendrick Motorsport Chevrolet during last Sunday’s race at Las Vegas. No fine or points penalties were assessed.
As Wallace came back down the track, he slammed into Larson’s right-rear corner, sending both cars spinning and damaged beyond repair. Playoff driver Christopher Bell was also swept in the crash, the Joe Gibbs Toyota driver out of the race as a result. 23XI Racing has named John-Hunter Nemechek as Wallace's replacement this weekend and stated that the team accepted the decision.
On Monday night, Wallace issued an apology"for my actions following the on-track incident with Kyle Larson" on his Twitter account.
