'Got what he deserves': Bubba Wallace walks up to Kyle Larson and SHOVES him after NASCAR playoff crash
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace ran straight for reigning champion Kyle Larson and attempted to start a fight after a wreck at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 17. In the first race of the third round of the playoffs, Wallace had led 29 laps and had undoubtedly possessed a quick car. Larson was eliminated from the playoffs last week while Wallace was unable to advance because of the crash.
When Kevin Harvick, who was in the middle of the group, slipped out of contention, Larson attempted a three-wide pass and slid up the track against Wallace. Larson pushed Wallace's Toyota into the wall with his Chevrolet after Wallace refused to move to make space for him. As Larson's car approached the curb, Wallace looked to purposefully hook him in retribution before bouncing back down the track. In the heat of the moment, Wallace got out of his car and charged at Larson with continuous shouts. He began shoving the shorter driver when he reached striking distance. Larson attempted to turn away and raised his arms many times to prevent the shoves but Wallace threw multiple hits until a NASCAR safety official separated the two.
