In a witty exchange that left fans chuckling and gasping in equal measure, NASCAR drivers Bubba Wallace and Ryan Blaney took playful jabs at each other, trading past racing blunders. At the heart of it all? A fateful race at Homestead-Miami that neither seems to forget

The online dispute took a nostalgic turn, referencing Wallace’s suspension during the 2022 Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami after a run-in with Kyle Larson. Bubba Wallace relegated to the sidelines, saw Joey Logano seize a triumphant win, and his BFF Blaney ended up at a less-than-stellar P17.

Playful Jabs or Hidden Tensions? NASCAR’s Twitter Showdown

Ryan Blaney’s cheeky reminder of the incident and Wallace’s retort about Blaney’s unexpected spin last year had fans rolling in laughter. Team Penske No. 12 wrote, “Hell you choked last* round. So now I’m trying to learn of what NOT to do from you. How crazy this world is.”

The highlight was the 23XI star’s epic clapback, “If your team doesn’t end up with a breath mint sponsor after this week from kissing NASCARs a**…epic choke moment.”

Their online tiff drew fans into a whirlwind of reactions. Comments poured in as fans split sides laughing, with many wondering if this was just friendly banter or if there was more bubbling beneath the surface.
