The race at Charlotte Roval has seen its fair share of on-track action. However, at one point when all the cars dove into the pit lane, Daniel Suarez seemed to not have been pleased with Bubba Wallace’s actions as he nearly stopped in front of the 99 car.

Bubba Wallace’s spotter Freddie Kraft stated, “99 leaving. 10 away.” Then Bubba Wallace’s crew chief stated, “Watch, watch, watch-yep, good man. Stop right here.” The spotter for the #99 of Daniel Suarez then came up on the radio and said, “Turning in. Watch him turning in right here come on. Easy, easy, easy, come on. Come on around him. Yup, you’re good right there. You’re good.” Soon Suarez was heard on the radio stating, “Not good, man. Stopped in front of me.”

While the #99 was leaving the pit, he got caught up behind Bubba Wallace, who seemingly suddenly slowed down and almost stopped ahead of Suarez. It almost felt like Wallace was blocking him right on pit road. Though the Mexican-born driver did not hurl a series of abuses at the #45, he simply showcased that he was not happy with whatever Wallace was doing.
