According to Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Theory, Bubba Wallace Escaped With a Single Race Suspension as He ‘Brought Enough to the Table’

After the Las Vegas Motor Speedway race, all that the NASCAR community can talk about is Bubba Wallace! With his controversial shove-fight with Kyle Larson, everyone was anticipating how the governing body will react to the entire situation and Dale Earnhardt Jr had his own set of theories.

In an episode of Dale Jr Download, Dale Earnhardt Jr discussed his views on Bubba Wallace and the investigation that will follow after the race. During the conversation, Earnhardt Jr said; “The detail that NASCAR has about what Bubba did with his steering throw and all those things will be massively detailed. Way more than we were able to show you on television.”

Furthermore, he said that the reason he feels NASCAR will make the best decision was the information they have. He stated; “And so, they’ll have a lot of information to be able to make their decision on the intent in that moment. And I feel like with the information they’ll have, they’ll be confident on what they decide.” 

However, he did say that the onus of proving his innocence lies on Wallace too. He continued; “And so that’s why I feel it’ll be more about what Bubba can bring to the table in terms of evidence. Like ‘Hey, man! There wasn’t any intent.”

Earnhardt then explained that it’ll be easy for NASCAR to prove their case but it’ll be up to Bubba Wallace to prove his point. He said; “It’ll be up to Bubba whether he has anything that he’ll be able to bring up to the table and say ‘Hey, man! This is part of the car that was broken. It didn’t allow me to steer my car correctly or whatever.”

What does Bubba Wallace think about the incident?

Bubba Wallace continued to deny that he spun Kyle Larson out on purpose. Moreover, the 23XI Racing driver blamed the entire series of incidents on Larson. While apologizing on Twitter, Wallace did not accept that he retaliated. Although he did feel sorry for shoving Larson several times on the field.

Apart from that, he also expressed his remorse for causing trouble to the Toyota driver Christopher Bell who became collateral damage during the entire incident. However, NASCAR did establish that Wallace purposely wrecked Larson. Moreover, they handed him a race suspension for the upcoming Miami-Homestead race.
