NASCAR announced today that it suspended Bubba Wallace for his actions in Sunday\u2019s NASCAR Cup Series race at NOCO 400. Wallace was suspended for one race after he crashed Kyle Larson at Lap 94 of the South Point 400 and proceeded to shove Larson..see more..<\/p>\n

NASCAR has suspended driver Bubba Wallace for one race following his actions during the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 16, 2022. The incident occurred on Lap 94 when Wallace and Kyle Larson made contact, resulting in Wallace’s car hitting the outside wall. In retaliation, Wallace deliberately spun Larson’s car, ending both drivers’ races. After exiting their vehicles, Wallace confronted Larson, shoving him multiple times before being separated by officials. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search0\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NASCAR deemed Wallace’s actions a violation of Sections 4.3.A and 4.4.C & E of the NASCAR Member Code of Conduct, which pertain to intentionally wrecking another vehicle and engaging in physical confrontations. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search2\ue201 As a result, Wallace was suspended from the subsequent race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. However, he was not fined or penalized points. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search3\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

23XI Racing, Wallace’s team, supported NASCAR’s decision and appointed John Hunter Nemechek as the substitute driver for the Homestead-Miami race. The team emphasized that Wallace’s conduct did not align with their core values and viewed the suspension as an opportunity for him to learn and grow as a competitor. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search6\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wallace later apologized for his actions, acknowledging that his behavior did not reflect the values of his team and partners. He expressed regret for letting his frustrations lead to actions that were not representative of the standards expected in the sport. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search2\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This suspension marked the first time a Cup Series driver was penalized for on-track actions since Matt Kenseth’s suspension in 2015. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search5\ue201\ue206<\/p>\n
