Hamlin stated, “people were trying to like, you know, I saw on Twitter they were really like, ‘Well, you gotta be pissed at Bubba’ and yeah, I am. But I also saw that kind of he got, you know, I barely got hit too hard. The 19 barely hit him and it just kind of, again, it doesn’t take much to really get these cars kinda out of shape when you start bumper tagging.”

What happened to Bubba Wallace?

The LA Memorial Coliseum hosted an exciting race where Bubba Wallace and his 23XI Racing Toyota Camry were among the frontrunners in the early stages. However, a drop in the car’s temperature during caution periods resulted in a setback for Wallace.

Despite this, he continued to climb back up. Moreover, at one point in time, he was back in contention for a top spot until an incident with Austin Dillon ruined his day. The incident sent Wallace tumbling down the order. Whereas if this had not taken place, who knows? Wallace could have started the season on a high.

Later on, Wallace expressed disappointment about the situation with Dillon, as he felt the #3 car was having trouble navigating the turn and continuously hit his left-rear tire.
