Bubba Wallace riding down and hitting Kyle Larson is a story that has reached the entire community. On top of that, he also had to miss a race, and expected a lot of media attention at Martinsville. But Ty Gibbs took it away from him. Turned out, there was some cash exchange in the 23XI Racing garage to thank Gibbs.
The Toyota teams sure love some heat, because Gibbs stole all the media attention after the Xfinity race. And it’s no surprise. He wrecked his own teammate to win that race. Naturally, the media found this a much more interesting story than Wallace returning to the track after being suspended.
Brett Griffin even joked about Wallace thanking Joe Gibbs’ grandson, “I hope that Sunday morning showed up with a bouquet and a card that said ‘here Ty, thanks for taking all the media attention’.”, “Thanks for taking me off blast and putting it on you.”
However, Wallace’s very own spotter, Freddie Kraft, revealed something mind-blowing, “I will tell you there was a cash exchange in our pre-race meeting. Bubba and Ty, thanking him.”
