Is it really what they are saying it is? While being interviewed by Fox announcers Chris Myers, Clint Bowyer, and Danica Patrick, 23 XI Racing driver, Bubba Wallace, was accused of acting inappropriately by some NASCAR fans.

At the end of the interview with Fox, Wallace patted announcer, Danica Patrick, on the back. Then, he shook hands with her co-host, Clint Bowyer. However, after that, Wallace reached behind Patrick’s back quickly and it seemed like Patrick’s hand got hooked with Wallace’s when he was taking it back.

Although things do look quite confusing (and even inappropriate for some) from the angle it has been shot, many fans on Twitter continue to argue that Wallace was actually repositioning something on Patrick’s back. Since neither of the drivers has provided any comments on the topic yet, maybe it’s true that nothing actually happened.

Based on her reactions in the video, the 2008 Indy Japan 300 winner looked a bit stunned initially. However, Patrick’s smile and the fact that she quickly resumed her announcing duties might be an indication that nothing inappropriate transpired.
