During the race, Kyle Larson got loose underneath Bubba Wallace, but appeared to save the car. There does not appear to be any contact made between the two drivers at this point.

However, Wallace slammed hard into the wall and bounced down the track into Larson. Larson then dived hard down into the track to avoid Wallace who chased him down the track and purposely clipped Larson in the rear quarter panel sending him spinning up the track into Christopher Bell and the outside wall.

Wallace would also spin up the track and smack the wall, nose first.

Following the wreck, Wallace exited his car and walked down the track towards Kyle Larson.

He then proceeded to attack Larson by shoving him into his car. Larson does not engage and attempts to keep Wallace at bay who continues to close in on him. Larson does eventually give a shove to keep Wallace from furthering closing in on him. However, Wallace continues to shove him.

Finally, a track official arrives on the scene and separates the two drivers.

NBC Sports reporter Dustin Long reports that NASCAR will review Wallace’s attack on Larson, but noted that Wallace was not called to the NASCAR hauler after the race.

Long wrote on Twitter, “NASCAR states that they will review the entire incident between Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson this week. NASCAR did NOT call Wallace to the hauler after the incident.”

Following the accident, Wallace put the blame on him hitting the wall on Larson.

When asked if it was deliberate retaliation, he told NBC Sports, “Cliff’s smart enough to know how easy these cars break so when you get shoved into the fence, deliberately like he did, trying to force me to lift, steering was gone. Just so happened to be there.”

“Hate it. Hate it for our team. Fast, super fast car. Had no short run speed. As you were seeing, we were kind of falling there. Larson wanted to make a three-wide dive bomb, never cleared me. I don’t lift so I know I’m kind of new to running up front, but I don’t lift. Wasn’t even a spot to lift and he never lifted either and now we’re junk. Just a piss poor move on his execution,” Wallace added.

He then answered a question about his shoving attack on Larson saying, “He knows that what he did was wrong. He wanted to question what I was doing, he never cleared me. I just hate it for our team. Our
