“Leave Me the F*** Alone” – Bubba Wallace Lashes Out at His NASCAR Crew Chief in Nashville

If you planted a tree on the moon for every time Bubba Wallace had a bad result despite having a good car, a good run because of his pit crew, and things out of his hands, the moon would still be the same. But you’ll at least have a forest worth of dead plants there.

The number of times the 23XI Racing driver has been let down by his pit crew this season is astonishing at this point. And the emotions got to Wallace this time around in Nashville.

“Leave me the f**k alone, dude. Don’t talk to me the whole f*****g race,” he told his crew chief Bootie Barker on the radio.

This was because Barker told Wallace to come back to the pits after one of his wheels was found to be loose. As he was doing so, in the middle of a good run, Wallace got hit by Tyler Reddick.

Because of this, the crew chief apologized to his driver, but it seemed, the driver couldn’t control his frustrations as he lashed out on the radio.

Bubba Wallace gave his pit crew a pep talk earlier this season

In an interview ahead of the All-Star race earlier this season, Bubba Wallace opened up on the pep talk he gave his pit crew.

The #23 driver revealed that the talk happened as he “ran into” some of his pit crew members during the celebrations of his teammate, Kurt Busch’s win at Kansas.

“I said what I said, that we did not have a good day at the pit road,” he said. “We look at the possibility of winning that race, it was very high. And we never gave ourselves a chance.”

“It is what it is, I call it how I see it. We sucked. We sucked that day.”
