Bubba Wallace’s day is done after five completed laps in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race. The driver of the No. 23 machine was just logging laps when he received contact from behind from Corey LaJoie.
The contact sent Wallace hard into the wall, obliterating the rear of his Toyota Camry.
Here is video of the accident:

After climbing from his crashed car, Wallace walked up the banking in the turn to show his displeasure with LaJoie:

Two things: 1) watch the tape, Darrell came down on Corey – Corey’s car stayed true through the corner. No one will say this because narrative already set. 2) where is Darrell’s call to the trailer for approaching the track side when race is active. I’m pretty sure why neither of these issues will be brought to light.
