Getting ‘dumped’ frustrated Bubba Wallace

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Sunday night ended in frustration for Bubba Wallace. With just 10 laps to go, the 23XI driver along with Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Dillon found himself in a prime position that could have led him to the checkered flag.

However, soon, Dillon rear-ended Wallace and spun his #23 Toyota into the wall. While talking about how Dillon’s action made him feel, Wallace told Fox Sports reporter Bob Pockrass,

“The No. 3 just never tried to make a corner, he just always would run into my left rear. I got run into the fence by him down the straightaway on that restart, so I gave him a shot. And then we get dumped. It sucks.”

This definitely wrecked Wallace’s chances of making it to the checkered flag. Clearly, the 23XI driver was quite upset about it. Before the ensuing restart, Wallace veered right into Dillon’s #3 to let the RCR driver know how he did not appreciate his maneuver earlier in the race.
