The Tony Stewart tweet and the Bubba Wallace-Kyle Larson Incident

During the playoff race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Kyle Larson attempted a three-wide pass. Alongside Larson, Bubba Wallace and Kevin Harvick were a part of that group. However, although Harvick slowed down and dropped out of the group, Bubba Wallace refused to provide room for Larson.

As a result, Larson apparently shoved Wallace into the wall on the track. And this forced Wallace to retaliate. While trying to get back at Larson, the 23XI driver bumped into the right side panel of Larson’s car and sent it out spinning. This ended the race for them and unfortunately Christopher Bell who was also collected in the crash.
