NASCAR: Bubba Wallace issues apology in hopes of avoiding suspension

In the hope NASCAR will not suspend him for his actions, Bubba Wallace issued a statement through his social media accounts Monday night, apologizing for his actions at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race.

On Lap 94 of the playoff race, Wallace ran out of talent and contacted the frontstretch wall instead of lifting after close racing with Kyle Larson. Wallace then turned left hitting Larson in the right-rear quarter panel, sending both cars into the outside SAFER barrier and collecting Christopher Bell. Bell is contending for a spot in the title race as a member of the Round of 8 while Larson’s No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team is in the owners’ championship playoff grid.

Racist Wallace, who plays the race card every chance he gets, then started to shove and bully Larson, a smaller Asian driver, in the infield.

Notice in his apology, he does not apologize to Larson.
