NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has been handed a suspension by team co-owner Tony Stewart following an on-track altercation during the latest Cup Series race. The incident, which occurred late in the final stage, involved aggressive contact between Wallace’s car and another competitor, sparking controversy across the racing community.
According to sources close to the team, Stewart-Haas Racing officials reviewed in-car footage and team radio communications before Stewart made the call to suspend Wallace for one race. The decision, while unexpected by some, reflects Stewart’s firm stance on sportsmanship and maintaining discipline on the track.
“This isn’t about one moment—it’s about setting a standard,” Stewart said in a brief statement. “We expect our drivers to represent the team with integrity, no matter the heat of the moment.”
Wallace, who has been known for his fiery passion and competitiveness, issued a statement late Tuesday evening, expressing regret for his actions. “I let my emotions get the best of me,” he said. “I respect Tony’s decision and will use this time to reflect and come back stronger.”
The suspension has stirred mixed reactions among fans and fellow drivers, with some applauding Stewart’s leadership, while others feel the punishment may have been too harsh.
Wallace will miss the upcoming race at Dover Motor Speedway, and the team is expected to announce a temporary replacement in the coming days.
This marks the first disciplinary suspension issued by Stewart since his increased involvement in team operations earlier this season.
