The entire NASCAR community and beyond saw what Wallace did in Vegas with the high-risk Next-Gen cars. While no one wants to be the next person to join Kurt Busch and Alex Bowman, the 23XI driver intentionally went and wrecked a driver at over 170 mph.
However, as Hendrick Motorsports thought it was time to have some fun with the wreck, one can actually purchase the very same parts that were involved in the Las Vegas wreck from their website!
Well, it surely is pretty awesome that one can buy the car’s parts if they can afford to shell out a small sum, just a dollar shy of $4,000, including the shipping charges. Unfortunately, all collectibles have been sold out.

NASCAR fans react to the price of Bubba Wallace’s aftermath
There were mixed reactions from the NASCAR fanbase on the price tag of the collectibles. Some of the fans weren’t happy paying $3,999 for the parts that were ‘beautifully’ marked by Bubba.
Fans found the amount a bit too much, especially compared to the prices they used to go for.
A couple of fans pointed out the high price.
“Their prices are so insane. Props to whoever can afford that stuff.”
While others compared it to the prices, a few years back.
“I am kicking myself for not buying a nose for $399 in 2019 when I went for the Coke 600. Now a nose goes for AT LEAST $1300.”
“Such a bummer that flippers ruined the pricing on the site (and bought up anything and everything posted). Used to be able to get tires for $25-50 and most other pieces under $1000. Now it’s marked up 3x or more.”

“If I could go back about 5 years I would myself to invest not in DOGE or GME, but Chase Elliott sheet metal from trucks/xfinity.
Prices are absolutely insane now. I keep wondering when the bubble is gonna pop. I rarely see this stuff resell at the extreme prices the shops want.”
However, one fan thinks it’s actually a good price because, well, it is a piece of NASCAR history.
