Bubba Wallace sat out of the Miami playoff race due to suspension. He was given a one-race ban for his reckless retaliation on Kyle Larson in Las Vegas. He wrecked and later physically confronted the 2021 cup champion. The suspension came after a massive backlash from the NASCAR community.

The fans and some major NASCAR personas were disappointed by the severity of the penalty. Most of them were demanding a full-season suspension. Bubba’s former boss Kyle Petty had a similar opinion as he openly called out NASCAR for the lack of severity in the penalty.

John Hunter Nemechek replaced Wallace on the No:45 ride. Homestead was one of the races his crew hoped for success this season. So, it was a painful punishment for them. Wallace returned to racing this Saturday at Martinsville. He opened up about the penalty before the qualifiers, where Larson secured the pole.

I totally accept the penalty and the repercussions that came from my actions…I’ve learned my lesson…And for the record, I have talked to Larson. We had a great conversation this week.
