Big respect for Larson driving hard when he has nothing to race for.

Christopher Bell needs to send Bubba into the wall on lap 1 in Phoenix.

Just getting back from the rodeo and saw the replay.

Intentionally hooking a guy in the right rear down the front stretch at a place like Vegas should result in a multi race suspension at the least, especially in these cars.

Didn’t Bubba just have a teammate retire because of this?

Kyle Busch lost a wheel. Looks like this will be his last race with this crew chief.

Not a Logano guy, but it's hard for me to dislike him. He's very personable.

That should result in a suspension. If nascar wants the intentional wrecking to stop, send a message.

Agree. That was as intentional as it gets. I bet Denny and Joe Gibbs aren’t happy. He tore up a car and potentially eliminated a legit championship contender in Bell. He oughta wipe him out next time he has the chance .

“When you get shoved in the fence, deliberately like [Larson] did, trying to force me to lift – the steering was gone, and he just so happened to be there,” Wallace said, who didn’t admit in turning Larson. “I hate it for our team.

“He never cleared me. I don’t lift. I know I’m kind of new to running up front, but I don’t lift. I wasn’t even in a spot to lift, he never lifted either and now we are junk. Piss poor move on his execution.”

But was the left hook intentional?

“Just racing, right?” he said. “Just have to do better, be better.”

When Wallace climbed out of his car, he walked roughly a football field down the frontstretch and forcefully pushed Larson. Then, did it again.

Ok, lets review. He said Larson ran him into wall. Ok but then he says he don’t lift. In my estimation he had the choice to lift. It was early enough in race. Larson never hit his car but did get loose and run up. Wallace had a choice and he chose to hit the wall over lifting. Did everyone notice Harvick lifted and got thru just fine. Wallace chose the wall over lifting. I can see not lifting last 20 laps of race but Wallace is in way over his head

Lets review possible fines:

Wallace then chose to intentionally take out Larson. TV showed him out of gas just as he scrapped wall but then he gunned it and headed straight for Larson. He lied and couldn’t take responsibility. Strike 1

Wallace then gets out of car but doesn’t stay with car as required by Nascar. Walked across a live track. Strike 2

Wallace then pushes official out of the way. Strike 3

Wallace then pushes Larson not once but several times. Strike 4

Wallace then again pushes official as he walks across infield and a live track. Strike 5

If Nascar takes no actions then the sport is done. They already lost many fans in the fake noose episode. And have catered to Wallace ever since to show their diversity in action. TV shows him in promos with top drivers as well, even though he is mostly a backmarker.

Nascar nation is watching to see if he gets special treatment or not.

That's the one that should get him. The race official is telling him that he's required to be taken to the infield care center. He pushed him away and ignored him.

This is a little bit of a reach IMO. But I do agree that NASCAR needs to take swift and strict action on Bubba. That shite he pulled today was uncalled for.

I have absolutely zero problem … zero … with on-track expressions of displeasure (not going to use the word retaliation). It’s been happening for 70 years and will continue to happen moving forward.

You can’t be that blatant, that clumsy and that unthinking. That’s not OK if Curtis Turner did it, Dale Sr. did it or Bubba Wallace did it. They have to park him.

Kenseth got parked for wrecking Logano. At a much slower track.

Video replay and notice Larson never touched his car. Wallace could have let up and avoided. And it would have been ironic if Larson complained about his back from that first violent push into the car by Wallace. And he kept pushing him, assaulted on live TV. Larson was smart not to retaliate but Wallace could have hurt Larson (with that hard push) who is small of stature.
