Wait, correction, they thought so.

Post the controversial incident between the 23XI Racing driver and the Hendrick Motorsports driver which included a push to the wall followed by an intentional wreck followed by a long, daunting walk followed by a one-sided fight with shoves and more shoves, Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s official Twitter account posted a picture in which they allegedly proposed a “Round 2” on March 23 with a link to the tickets.

Oh and also, the picture had the text, “But mom…he shoved me.”

Unsurprisingly, they deleted the tweet, but the natives of Twitter didn’t let it go down the drain.

Speaking about the incident between Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson, NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin emphasized how important it is for the 23XI Racing driver to resolve things, both internally and externally.

“I think Bubba’s gotta, he’s gotta make peace with this quick man because something like this, it can weigh on you,” he said in a recent episode of the Door Bumper Clear podcast. “Bubba has got to make peace with this fast, he’s gotta make peace with his owners, he’s gotta make peace with Kyle Larson, he’s gotta make peace with Christopher Bell, he’s gotta make peace with himself.”

“The guy has already come out before and said he had anxiety issues, like this is something that can weigh on you a long time. Because you’re gonna re-live the moment where you made all those decisions to do all those things.”

Griffin hoped that the 23XI Racing driver has “the right people” around him to help him with this. “Because if he don’t, it can f**k your career for a while,” the spotter emphasized.

“I’ve seen it happen, and it’s not a fun train to be on.”
