NASCAR has handed Bubba Wallace a one-race suspension.
The driver of the No. 45 car will miss the Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday after violating a NASCAR Member Code of Conduct rule, NASCAR released on Tuesday. He was not levied any fine or points penalties.
The 29-year-old driver for 23XI Racing was penalized for an altercation he had with Kyle Larson at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this past weekend. Early in Stage 2, Wallace was squeezed into the wall by Larson, and in retaliation, Wallace then turned left into the No. 5 car’s right-rear quarter panel — spinning the driver out and ending both of their days immediately.
