Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson had a major run during the playoff race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. An aggressive move led to Wallace hooking Larson and making them both crash at 180 MPH which soon turned into a chaotic fight. And Bubba, the same guy who wrecked both cars out of contention started the fight. Moreover, it took him a while to really issue a proper apology.

Wallace didn’t really apologize for his actions for a while. In fact, fans were waiting for over a day to hear from him and we still had nothing until 23XI boss, Denny Hamlin spoke on his behalf. And Petty addressed this as he called Wallace out.
Petty said, “In a world of social media where we post everything. Silence sometimes say more than the words that are written.

And kudos to Denny Hamlin for speaking on behalf of 23XI.”
He even went as far as to say, “But the silence from that camp has been deafening”

Bubba said, “He knows what he did was wrong. He wanted to question what I was doing; he never cleared me. Just hate it for our team. Our McDonald’s Toyota Camry was super solid. We just needed to find a little on the short run and get the balance where we needed it, and it would have been just like Kansas. Now the car’s junk.”
