Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson Discuss Richmond Incident

After the NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway, Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson had a conversation following a dramatic incident on the track.

During the race, with just 2 laps remaining out of 400, Larson and Wallace were battling for 4th place. Larson’s car got loose coming off turn two, and at the same time, Wallace made contact with him from behind.

This caused Larson’s car to spin through the infield grass, but he managed to save it and maintain his position as the yellow caution flag came out.

This isn’t the first time these two drivers have had run-ins. In the past, there have been incidents at tracks like Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway that led to confrontations and drama between them.

In the Richmond race, Larson only dropped two positions after the spin, and during the pit stop, Wallace faced issues with a slow stop, allowing Larson to come out in 4th position.

During overtime, Larson and Martin Truex Jr. had some contact, and after the race, Truex Jr. expressed his frustration by bumping into Larson’s car.

Following the race, Wallace approached Larson to talk about the incident. Wallace assured Larson that the contact wasn’t intentional and apologized for what happened.
