NASCAR allowed the race to complete and gave Byron a steep 25-point penalty along with a $50,000 fine. Hendrick Motorsports appealed against the decision and got an easy win at the NMAP. The forum ruled in favor of the team and reinstated the points penalty in exchange for a bigger monetary penalty.

Now at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, another incident such incident took place. Bubba Wallace wiped out Kyle Larson with his Chevy in response to an aggressive move from the Toyota driver. But things didn’t end there. Bubba got out of the car fuming and charged towards Larson, shoved him, and landed a few meaty blows on him.

Social media and pundits have been busy offering their opinion and hot takes on the incident. But Michael Waltrip, a NASCAR driver himself, offered his opinion on it too. The take looks innocuous, but fans haven’t taken too kindly to his views.
