On Saturday Brad Keselowski bumped into Bubba Wallace. However, there was not much of an argument between the two drivers, as they chose to handle it sportingly with a high-five after the race.
Wallace’s sarcastic comment after the race
When asked about the high-five after the race, Wallace said, “Those guys preach about respect, so I went up to show my respect… No, I’m just kidding. No, it was fun, was just playing racing. He gave me probably five laps too many. So I appreciate that so that’s kind of what, that’s okay.”
“Yeah I mean my car was a little faster, and I didn’t need to recommend a heat race, that’s for sure. And you don’t want to give up the spot which I wasn’t either, so that’s what I think we’re all here for.”
