NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace is asking forgiveness to Kyle Larson for powerfully pushing the previous champ throughout an on-track run-in at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday — stating he merely lost his cool.
The quarrel taken place throughout the NASCAR Cup Series race — after Wallace purposefully crashed his Toyota into Larson’s No. 5 Camaro ZL1 as retaliation for brushing him into the wall when the 2 motorists were side by side.
Wallace’s rage continued after the cars and trucks lastly pulled up off the track … the 29-year-old motorist went directly for Larson, and pushed him many times prior to leaving.
TONIGHT ON MOTORMOUTHS.

After taking a day to cool down, the 23Xi Racing motorist understood he was incorrect and provided an apology on Monday.
“I want to apologize for my actions on Sunday following the on-track incident with Kyle Larson and the No. 5 car,” Wallace stated on social networks.
“I compete with immense passion, and with passion at times comes frustration.”
Wallace included, “Upon reflecting, I should have represented our partners and core team values better than I did by letting my frustrations follow me outside of the car.”
Wallace — who signed with Michael Jordan‘s NASCAR group in 2020 — states his actions do not show 23XI Racing or any of his partners … and swears to do much better.
“You live and learn,” Wallace stated, “and I intend to learn from this.”
Larson — who races for Hendrick Motorsports — hasn’t launched a declaration on the event. NASCAR states they’re examining the on-track event.
