Earlier at the Road America race track, there was plenty of drama unfolding. At one point, Penske driver Joey Logano was battling with the 23XI Racing duo of Bubba Wallace and Kurt Busch. Heading into the corner, he dive-bombed down the inside of the #45 and #23 cars. While he managed to clear Busch, Wallace was already turning into the corner, and both drivers spun out.

Busch was lucky to miss both of them and wasn’t complaining about two free positions. Later on, Bubba Wallace waited patiently for his moment to strike back at the #22 Penske driver. When he managed to slot in behind Logano, he appeared to give him a couple of nudges and seemed to bump him off the track.

The commentators dubbed it as a ‘karma wreck’ and had a good laugh about it.

Fans likened Bubba Wallace & Joey Logano’s tussle to Chase Elliott & Kevin Harvick

Naturally, many fans responded to the two incidents and found them hilarious. One fan responded, “Mans used the force”, where he was referring to Wallace’s barely glancing blow that forced Logano off the track. A fair number of comments also compared this ‘karma wreck’ to last year’s incidents between Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott.

In the end, poor old Bubba Wallace ended up failing to finish the race. On the other end of the scale, Logano finished in 27th place, which was a bit disappointing for him. All in all, it was a nightmare day in the office for Toyota, where the highest-finishing car was Martin Truex Jr in 13th.
