Should have been more. Not even a fine or points deduction? (Not that points matter to him or this far into the season now)
ehh NASCAR hasnt suspended others in xfinity or truck for doing the same thing, though bubbas was a bit egregious as it was at faster speed

I disagree. A one race suspension seems appropriate. NASCAR just needs to inform all drivers that next time it'll be 4 races.

I give him some slack since he STILL gets racist comments every time there is a story about him, I don't know how I would deal with that. Doesn't excuse wrecking him like that though
Yeah, the fans who keep commenting racist stuff is pretty pathetic. But bubba as a racer, I just don’t care for him anymore.

1 race suspension for Bubba Wallace's actions on Sunday at LVMS.
Oh no…he’s not even in the playoffs. It means nothing.

Harvick was docked 100 points and his crew chief suspended for four races with 5 left at the time. Yeah he was out of the playoffs but he was still earning points for a top 16 finish. His car was one of two “randomly” picked for inspection. NASCAR found a modified part. Funny that a couple weeks before, Kevin was criticizing NASCAR and the Next Gen car in regards to drivers getting concussions. Bubba runs his car at full speed into another drivers car and has to sit out a race.

Yeah, what happens when his anger severely hurts a driver someday? His angry fits are well known in the garage area and after races

I don't disagree, I think a suspension was warranted, I wish NASCAR was more consistent, the penalties for a wheel coming off are more severe than intentionally wrecking people at speed :rofl:
Truth

The #18 team just got a 4 race suspension for a wheel falling off during a caution. Chief, tire changer and jackman…all suspended until after next years all star race :rofl:

A CAUTION!!

It doesn't mean nothing. Having him watch his car race without him hurts him way more than any points or monetary fine NASCAR could have given him.

If he didn’t do all the other shit, he probably would’ve got a fine and that’s it. It was the penalties stacking up that got him - got out of his car before safety crews were there; was on an active track when walking to Larsons car; and then the contact with the official.

Yeah that makes sense, I agree

I am a JGR fan but Ty Gibbs today in the xfinity race wrecking his own team mate is bullshit. I understand you want the win. Already in by points and wrecks his own fucking team mate who was also trying for a spot.
