Bubba Wallace Suspended from NASCAR Championship Race After Kyle Larson Incident

The suspension of Wallace from Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Miami was announced by NASCAR.

Wallace was found to have violated several sections of the NASCAR Member Code of Conduct, including "intentionally wrecking or spinning another vehicle, whether or not that vehicle is removed from Competition as a result."

After bumping Wallace into the wall during the South Point 400, the 23XI Racing driver retaliated by hitting the right rear of Larson's car, causing him to spin into the outside wall.

After both drivers came out of their cars, Wallace threw his hands up, yelled and shoved him, before the two were separated.

Wallace spoke with NBC Sports immediately after the race, and he expressed his displeasure with the man.

The steering was gone and he just so happened to be there when I was pushed in the fence. It's terrible for our team. We had a super-fast car, not on short-run speed, we were kind of falling back there, and Larson wanted to make it a three- wide dive bomb.

He didn't clear me. I don't carry things. I am new to running up front and don't lift. I wasn't even in a place to lift, he never did either.

Wallace had a reason to be angry, but his race wasn't over until he retaliated, according to the man.

Wallace apologized on social media.

Wallace did not make the playoffs, while Larson did not make the playoffs after finishing 35th in the elimination race.

The first driver to qualify for the championship finale was Joey Logano. He is in the lead with more than 4,000 points. Four people are in the top four.

On Sunday, the Round of 8 continues with the Dixie Vodka 400. The Championship 4 will take place at Phoenix Raceway on November 6th.
