“We Both Agreed to Disagree” – When Bubba Wallace Pissed Off Kyle Busch at Watkins Glen

Back in the 2019 NASCAR Cup season, Kyle Busch had a bit of an on-track altercation with Bubba Wallace. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver confessed that it was “surprising” since Wallace raced for his Truck team in his early career. At the time of the incident, the two drivers were side-by-side and trading paint. Later on, Wallace got a little annoyed with Busch’s aggression and spun him out.

Busch said, “I would say it’s kind of surprising, I guess, that you get into with two former drivers because, I guess, you would kind of expect a little bit more or different from them than you would say some other competitors out there. I guess I just didn’t quite get that. Overall, as far as conversations went … was better understanding between the both of them. Move forward.”

As for Wallace, he admitted that the two of them, ‘Agreed to disagree’ on the situation, especially since they were both frustrated. According to the then Richard Petty Motorsports driver, they were initially mad at each other. However, they eventually talked it out, shook hands and the matter was settled.
