Bubba is also known to be a Hot Head. Alex tried to contact him to talk during the rain delay...both called and texted him...but Bubba waited to Door slam him into the wall with the window net down. So now Bubba has to write a check.
I believe its a mixture of Bubba's history, putting him into the wall, and the fact he had an hour and a half red flag to hash it out with Bowman but instead predetermined what he wanted to do.
how was it “predetermined”
Because the wreck was on like lap 10, Bubba had 90% of the damn race to cool down & get his head out of his butt!!!!
@@KyleLeeuw the word is premeditated.
I believe safety is the reason for the fine. Driver safety nets were down. Bubba put Bowman into the wall on the drivers side. Again, with the safety net down. That is extremely dangerous.
So why wasn't Chase Elliott fined for doing the same thing to Suarez after the race?
Bubba needs to attend the Mark Martin School of Professionalism in Racing
Because Elliot bumped Suarez lightly. He didn’t wall him while his window net was down, he bumped him so lightly I doubt Elliot even dented his or Suarez’s car. Plus, that didn’t happen before an hour plus long rain delay where they could have talked about it, instead bubba avoided bowman and walled him after the race.
@@bryonkidder6199this !!!
Both driver and maybe owner point (25) deduction would have been stronger. Stop your aggressive retaliation driving...never learned from the Larson shenanigans. This clown is going to hurt someone.
Nascar will fine bubba for this and then proceed to use the swipe at bowman for so many commercials 😭
well yeah, why not?
Of course! Did you ever do something dumb that your parents got onto you for, then you heard them tell family and friends about it later as they laugh and joke about it? 😂 you expect different? 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣
About time dubba Wallace gets his due.
A doorslam is one thing. What Bubba did was harder than a doorslam. You could see it in the in-car camera while looking at Bowman. Belts were off and window nets were down. The contact was hard enough Bowman's head and helmet bounced around within his head restraints, it was hard enough that fenders were almost knocked off.
Plus the fact that Bowman said he tried to smooth things over with Bubba during the rain delay and Bubba chose not to, but took this action instead.
I'm not surprised at this fine whatsoever.
Ouch, a millionaire being fined $50k.🙄
That’s gonna hurt.
If you get a parking ticket for $100, is that going to bury you under the court house?
...but maybe are you going to be pissed about it and maybe it will get your attention and modify your behavior to no longer park the way you did?
If I'm a millionaire i wouldn't care about 50,000 wouldn't even be mad I'd be more mad about the points which they should took
@@johnlafever3162
lol, it might change my behavior but were talking about Bubbles.
Bubbles just doesn’t seem to get it.
@@Staysick17 clearly you don't understand Millionaire mentality or human nature in general.
Lmao
Should have suspended his ass.
I think nascar took into consideration all the temper tantrums Bubba has had lately.
Ninjas gonna Ninja
Go look at it, and from my view its his 1st in awhile, if u wanna check how much he had again that would be nice.
Repeat offender… is why the fine was so elevated…maybe..
What other incidents has he had “lately” other than the altercation with Almirola that Almirola’s own team suspended him for?
Then they need to give the 9 the same penalty
Bubba has a behavioral problem, it's not the first time he's done stupid and it won't be the last.
u could literally say the same thing for other drivers like elliott, byron, and hamlin calm down bro
You don’t see other drivers pulling the other cards though.
@@TheGreatSayiamanum no, you don’t see other drivers doing this sort of stuff
Bubbles seems to swipe a car every race! 🤦 If he gets another incident... Fine should be doubled and start taking on a points penalty! Maybe after he gets up to a $200k fine and 100 point deduction... He might learn 🤔
Wallace and Hamlin can get away with a lot more than other drivers, Bubba should have lost points too!!!!
There is no making sense of the things Bubba does. He can't control himself, period.
I agree. It’s always something with him. I used to like bubba when he was in lower series but it’s been so many things since then. And to be honest wether it’s right or wrong the playing race card is annoying it doesn’t matter what skin color someone is just drive the car
If I see anyone playing "the race card" it ain't Bubba. Hes "only" about as bad as Kurt but the net down hit was dumb and needed a crackdown.
He reminds me of the Busch brothers a little. Though with less talent.
Race card? He literally thought a garage door pull cord was a noose. How more race card pulling can you be?
@Kurtislow1979 Lmao, get the the facts. And why wouldn't he, given he was in the middle of Alabama a week after he successfully campaigned to get that confederate flag banned from NASCAR?
Bubba had time during the rain delay to go over and have a civil conversation with bowman. Instead, he waited until the end of the race and ran him into the wall. That is why he got the penalty, and it is 100% deserved
He is not capable of having a civil conversation. Wouldn’t fit in with the victim theme
Bowman sent him a text during the red flag, the thing to do was to either have accepted the apology via text or gone over and talk to it like a man and not acted like a two-year-old crybaby who's always the victim. I totally agree with you that the fine was deserved and not only that he should have been docked 50 points.
@@linhunnicutt6556
Yeah cause instead of going and talking to him like a man a “text” did the job. Smh
Why, Roy? So you could rag on Bubba for talking to Alex Bowman? Get real, we know you would be critical for Bubba going up to speak with Bowman, even if it was calm and civil.
@@TimWithTheSauce You have no idea what you're talkin' bout. My grandaddy was a WW2 hero and the manliest man I ever knew. If he told me once, he told me a million times. "We don't run away in times like these, we confront them head-on like men! You better text that man and add a few emojis to let him know you are serious. And if he doesn't respond to you, then you need to find his snapchat and confront him there. You use an angry cat filter to let him know you mean business. That's how we men handle things!"
He fits right in at 23xl. He drives like hamlin. Wrecking anyone during and after races. What a pos
He never initiated the entire incident. Bowman owned up to fucking up and said bubba shouldn’t be penalized. Check mate.
@DamianVega00 check mate? You must be single. It doesn't matter. When the race is over, use your mouth or fist. Not a 3000 lbs car cause he's a btch. Almost everyone gets moved at one time or another. Not everyone goes out and tries to injure people or acts stupid with a car after a race
Hamlin actually wins.
Both drivers had their window nets down.Wallace should have been fined points also. More NASCAR inconsistency.
The amount of inconsistency nascar has shown in all aspects of officiating is insane.
Agreed it's baffling
Agreed. Bubba has now gotten fined twice for things that others drivers have done [but we're not penalized]. Yes, even ones with past offenses. It's almost like they are making an example out of Bubba to appease to the haters.
Drivers side into the wall and after the window net was down.
But should you have the window net down before you’re at a complete stop? If you use some one up on the last lap and think they might be upset, can you drop the window net immediately after crossing the finish line so they get a penalty for hitting you? If the line is drawn at the window net, how was Bubba supposed to know it was down from the right side? It’s just another one of those lines in the sand that isn’t a good argument for anything
@@cmott86 “how was bubba supposed to know” uh in case you didn’t know, usually the winner has the window net down. Nice try.
Usually the WINNER puts his window net down to wave to the fans,
@@cmott86 You seriously are not using that as a defense are you Bubba Fanboy?
@@sjsharksfan8573 nah I’m a fan of the other driver that got hit on the cool down lap, just want to know where the line needs to be drawn. Apparently it’s window nets.
Gotta make a vid on Noah Gragson now being with Front Row Motorsports.
I’m sure he will
@@bostonwarrior4824 👍
The announcement just happened and he was in the chat thread for it. Give it some time lol.
#34
Eric makes his videos too early in the day
Bubba Wallace was wrecked right before the red flag, and there was a big window Bubba had to talk (or punched) Bowman. I felt it was incredibly unnecessary from Bubba to hit Bowman during that, considering that Bowman was wiping his eyes when the contact was made it had the potential to do some eye damage.
Even though im a bowman fan that would be funny as hell to watch them fight😂😂😂
Bowman even reached out to him during the red flag
wow ur soft “he could have eye damage” lmaoo😂 dude go outside
@@TheGreatSayiaman if you have ever been sideswiped by someone you would know how much it moves your body
@@TheGreatSayiaman and dude had a whole like two hours to slap the shit out of bowman but didnt so yeah this ones all on bubba
I think he was mostly fined because Bowman’s window net was down during that. A few moments ago I think he had his arm out celebrating, and say if Bubba hits him there, Alex is most definitely injured.
How is this different than what chase did?
That's why I believe the fine was necessary, but I still believe 50k is excessive.
According to Nascar, the difference is that Chase didn't run Daniel into the wall.
@@mrsegagamecube6419than that would be a lame arse excuse. If NASCAR is going to penalize for actions like this . Than EVERYONE should be penalized the same .
The difference is Elliot bumped him, while Wallace slammed him into the wall
Bubba has an anger, management problem, and yes, the window net was down and could’ve caused serious injuries, not only he should be fined. He should lose points and be sentenced to go for anger management.
Have Kyle Busch teach the anger management class since he’s been through it several times.
@@jackielowe2895I’d pay good money to watch that class
I'm Bubba fan. He shouldn't have done this. Totally unacceptable behaviour.
It's like he has no memory of doing the same thing the week before...
Bubba has been involved in incidents over and over. past fines and penalties have not stopped his anger issues and lack of class. I think it was warranted
Net down and history of anger issues on-track. I agree the contradictions are sometimes annoying but I think the general rule is "if it's putting on a show for the crowd, it's fine, but we won't accept things that could cause injuries when the show's over barring extreme circumstances." If you aren't doing it while putting on a show for the crowd, it's penalizable.
I said the same thing and people cried about it. 😂😂 Bubba had a chance to talk to Bowman and still chose to act like a clown
What would talking do?
@@markjones2854 That's not his point. Maturity is his point
@markjones2854 it would prove to the world that you are not an over privileged jerk but in fact grown man of great character that deserves respect. But lets face it bubba is a giant cry baby who can't control his emotions.
@@markjones2854 I don't expect a serious conversation from you lol. Cope
@@JJ_R3ACHNaw, you just don’t want to think about it because that takes effort and allows the possibility of you being wrong. Shows your maturity.
Points would be more painful than 50k. Pocket change
$50k really isn't pocket change, bubba ain't MJ lol
@@StevenP727 Bubba was signed with beats by dre at one point. Bro as BANK
💯
@@StevenP727 you have no idea what you are talking about, first even without nascar he is from a very wealthy family, do you honestly not know how much a driver makes. and the team will pay the fine and write it off on taxes at end of year as losses. maybe when you are old enough to work and pay taxes you might get it.
Should always be points....black privilege
Can you imagine the outcome if Boman’s hand would have been outside waving to fans as the car slammed into the wall.
Edwards was fined for hitting Dale Jr after the race when Earnhardt had his arm out of the window. Dale Jr said on his podcast yesterday that arms should never be outside the car, and that it was stupid that he did that.
No points penalty . . . that bogus - so much for standards
Of course no points penalty! They want Bubba in the cup finals...no matter what...They'll probably find a way to give him points he didn't earn. Or remove someone from the 16 to push Wallace up. Only time will tell, because he's not going to get there on talent.
@@drdogbarker3830hate to burst your safe space kiddo
Why would they dock points? He didn't affect any competition during the race. Hocecar got docked points because it affected the outcome of the race. Harrison lost positions and thus points as a result of being wrecked by Hocevar
@@vidmasterK1 I bet you have no friends. Kiddo.
@@drdogbarker3830 got plenty. They like being around smart people
I think it was a combination of all the elements. Bubba's history, the time lapse, it didn't prevent Bubba from winning. The fact that it was only a monetary fine and not points is important. Bubba is close to the playoff line. Points penalty would have hurt his playoff chances.
Alex was barely holding on the steering wheel and was wiping his eyes. If you get caught speeding the first thing the judge does is look at your record, Bubba has a bad history
NASCAR is never consistent. Never was
its called nascrap for a reason😅
Thats their consistency 😂
@@badasswood so why are you watching it??? Piss off if you dont like it
Wait...isn't this the guy who walked across the track and grabbed kyle larson and got in his face?
Uploading this while FRM's announcement is hilarious
No contact when window nets are down! No exceptions! You missed this one bud.
Eric is a Bubba guy.
@@bobby-ov9qn That makes sense.
Reading the comments has been hilarious. I’ve been watching NASCAR for over 30 years, they’ve always been inconsistent in everything they do. Only thing you can count on them for is disappointment.
It was a safety issue! The window nets were down, belts loosened. If Alex would have had his hand out the window waving to the fans, this could have been a bad issue with Alex hitting the wall.
When you can’t get attention by your on track performance.
As a black nascar fan myself, I can't stand Bubba. He's always butthurt, I hope he doesn't make the playoffs because he's getting outperformed by teams like Front Row and Stewart Haas
Why does being black matter? Only non black people say things like that 😅 nice try tho lmao
If you don't like bubba biden your not black
Bubba thinks he should be top of the world at all times because he’s the only black cup driver
@@cpttankerjoe He is not. He is half white. Rajah Curuth is the only black NASCAR driver. I like that kid. Bubba, is a punk.
@@benmorris6831 Bubba is a product of the disaster known as “miscegenation”.
Bubba has a problem thinking he is always being singled out. Go back a few recess and how his owner talked to him And the unnecessary mess Bubba caused over the garage door ropes taking up LE investigation and damaging NASCAR reputation
NASCAR Fans: "These drivers need to show emotion. They are too vanilla!"
*Bubba shows emotion*
NASCAR Fans: "That should have been a point penalty. Bubba should be suspended.
💯
hey drummerbob, your childish rant shows your mentality, the window nets are down on both cars, do you know what a windownet if for. either or both could have been injured just on that alone, and what he did was about the same as when you trip handicapped people in the mall and laugh with your buddies.
Nascar will not tolerate misconduct on the streets of Chicago.
Now that’s funny😂
Save that for the citizens
😂😂
Bubba is a repeat offender over several years. I think the fine should've been a lot more
Kyle Larson, and other drivers have done worst for longer
Why?
Worse you say. At least Kyle Larson and others have won more races. Bubba has one two so far in cup and one was because of rain at Talladega.
@@Kurtislow1979 how does that even make sense? Dude, you're so weird. Larson thus should get left alone if he gets upset and wrecks or spins out a driver because he has a championship then? That's your logic
@@vidmasterK1 honestly that is the logic. Paying your dues. I don’t see you complaining about Denny Hamlin causing issues when he’s mad. I’m not a fan of his but guess what he’s a good race car driver. Just like all other before him or after. It’s the fact the Bubba is just there cause he’s Bubba. And it’s makes perfect sense. Bubba has literally won one race on his own in cup. One. Rain was his other win. Win by default.
Wallace is a bully and needs to learn a lesson.
I think its because bowman was unstraping his belt and bubba hit him hard
@@AidenLangsdale-of3hx yeah I think that’s why too. I also think NASCAR set an example out of him like if you think about it 50,000 that’s a lot of damn money.
@@bostonwarrior4824 true
I think there were two factors in determining this penalty. 1. Bubba's repeated temper tantrums, and 2. the fact that is was well after the finish and Bowman had lowered his window net and was unbuckling his safety harness.
And NASCAR hates using past behavior, but part of the conduct policy refers to past behavior sometimes.
Both of their window nets was down, and the force into the wall driver side with the window net down...he should have gotten points taken away with the fine.
so MTG and the 9 should have points taken away too?
Yes
Should the 9 and 19 have had points and money taken too then?
@@joshhalasz2477Elliot brake checked
He didn’t slam him in the wall
Or Brad Keselowski door slamming Kenseth in 2014 at the end of the charlotte race coming to pit road no penalty and Kenseth had his belts and window net down
It keeps happening with Bubba, he’s not learning anything…Should have had Points taken!
They forgot the points penalty!!! For the drivers $$$$ are cheap, points are hard to come by.
They're not going to take his points they want him in the chase. Napcar is more rigged than wrastlin
They aren't going to points penalty anyone on the playoff cut line for that move.
@@johnlafever3162what does being on the cutoff line have to do with anything? They can’t pick and choose who gets a points fine based on how their season is going.
@@johnlafever3162they should
@@darthhull85yeah they do they did with hocevar
1. The race was over.
2. That was more than a door bump. The car lifted.
3. Yes it was fair.
4. Do it during the race if you're gonna do it.
I think the pently came for this as Drivers side into the wall and after the window net was down more then anything. If it wasn't a window down then maybe Nascar would have not done anything not sure.
Found this on another website. “Also been told that NASCAR does plan to talk to Chase Elliott,” Pockrass wrote on X. “… In-car footage shows that Bowman had to catch his car after Wallace contact (force of the contact apparently caused his hands to come off the steering wheel) while that didn’t happen in the Elliott-Suarez contact.”
Bubbles needs Anger Management , he blames everyone for his lack of skill.
Eric this is fair , you need to check your bias gauge
We NASCAR FOLK love Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, KEVIN HARVICK; “They don’t take no crap” but Bubba needs anger management?!
I’m not sure it’s Eric that needs recalibrating here
Kevin Harvick punched the seven time champion off track in street clothes. I guess Jimmie deserved that for being too vanilla🤦🏽♂️
It was very common before 2014 for almost every penalty to include some sort of probation. Now I can't remember the last time probation was given out.
Gordon was one of the last ones on it that I can remember
And now Gragson now confirmed for Front Row Motorsports, 3 SHR drivers down, 3 to go (Preece, Custer, and Herbst)
2 …. Cole’s dad is staying in at HAAS whatever the F team . So he got a ride.
The fine was due to Bowman's window net being down, more than likely. Glad he didn't lose points for it. Rivalries are tough to hold onto these days. Miss the have at it days of NASCAR.
Honestly a fair call, he got into Bowman and slammed him enough to where Bowman had to correct his car. Unfortunately though this will not look good especially since Chase isn't getting a penalty even if what he did wasn't as hard of a hit or was "heat of the moment"
NASCAR needs to keep in mind how inconsistent calls like this comes across imo
I am the opposite of a Bubba fan, but this fine is ridiculous. Postrace retaliation is part of what makes NASCAR fun.
I kind of like the penalties being a bit random. The inconsistency can act as a deterrent, yet also gives NASCAR the opportunity to moderate the penalty.
This might actually be a good take but it’s a double edged sword
Some drivers relax and take their helmets off and unbuckle during the cool down laps, so any hard hit can hurt the driver, especially when they are not expecting to get hit during the cool down, just imagine if he had his arm out, he would have been injured.
Gotta make another video on Gragson to FRM, Eric...
I would be up for that.
It was just announced he will be there next year
Should have been a $100,000 fine. Bubba is problem & sh*t driver 😂😂😂😂😂
We all play in the grey areas. Bowman had his net down could be taking gloves off helmet ect than a drama Queen puts you in the wall EF that he has had many warnings. Look at Gibbs he was getting a reputation but after a few fines and being warned he’s been smarter and honestly a better driver not saying he wouldn’t do something ever again but makes him think twice.
100% fair. I’m cheering for him to win and make a deep playoff run, but this was premeditated. He had time to cool down, and Bowman tried to apologized.
I wonder if the amount has something to do with the in car video. Alex was wiping his eyes and not really even holding onto the steering wheel very well at the time of the retaliation so Alex didn't even see it coming.
Bubba should have lost points also...
I wonder if the suspension had something to do with Bowman rubbing his eyes as Bubba made contact with him. Bubba obviously didn't know that was happening, but it could have caused a serious injury.
That and a past incident with bubba throwing cold water in his face may have factored into it.
why don't Truex, Hamlin, or Larson receive penalties for doing the EXACT same thing earlier this year? even Chase Eliott did the SAME THING in the SAME RACE. I just don't get why Bubba's the only one that gets a penalty...
Eric is like the guy in it’s always sunny in Philadelphia with the pins and string right now
It’s hard to keep watching this video
To be honest, I don't think they should have even penalized Bubba for this. I mean, it's not like he hurt anyone or ruined his race car. I look at it as just a racing incident even though race was over. He showed his displeasure and then let him be. He didn't do that and then go to victory lane and throw and punch at him. It was after the race. He had a chance to have a good points day to maybe chop some off to get in the playoffs and the guys above you in the points standing spins you out and Nascar didn't do anything about daring red flag by having him start at the end of the longest line. I mean Bowman basically ruined Bubba day by spinning him out
bubba gets penalized when others doing similar things didn’t…
_“…and that's when it became personal for me”_
Source?
Future drivers from showing emotions!!! What a joke. I don’t really reply, But, there is a safety issue. Smashing a guy into the wall, safety harness unbuckled, window net open, hand out the window waving to the fans. Have you ever played a sport, had to take a cheap shot! What happened if there was serious damage or injuries! He (bubba) should have been penalized! Not just fined! What a joke! This is disappointing and NASCAR needs to deal with the CIRCUS that NASCAR seems to becoming!
These cars are very expensive and there is no reason for intentionally damaging them.
But all the drivers are saying that someone does it every week
"Go back a decade" to Brad Keselowski's pit road incident. Really makes you feel old 😅
Bowman was almost already back to the line and he had already started taking his safety gear off and if watch the in car Bowman was rubbing his eyes and didn't have his hands on the wheel. I think the cool down lap is more dangerous on the driver's than under caution. And that's why he got penalized and they should've took points as well.
Bubba has the physical talent to be a great driver, but lacks the mental fortitude to grow into a great driver. He really needs to be like Mike.
Obviously sarcasm.
I don't think you understand how much hate he gets and has gotten since day 1. That takes a serious mental toll and increases the pressure substantially to prove those people wrong. Every little mistake is scrutinized by the internet more so than any other driver, and I still hear the racists making fun of him for Talledega despite him not actually being involved. You need to look at the bigger picture before you start saying "lacks the mental fortitude".
@@Glitchunlocked Quit the virtue signaling
@@Crussell04 Or, try using your brain and recognize the situation at hand. "virtue signaling" hahaha, whatever dude.
what happened with Alex and Bubba happened a lot that race, it was wet and people overdrove the corners. Half the field could have ran into each other after the race, but only one did.
@@greggfridline4260 yeah but bubba has a history with him. They’ve really never liked each other. They haven’t had run-ins in a while, but they’ve never really been too fond of each other. I mean bowman did spin him out, it was an accident obviously but what goes around comes around. Let boys have at it. Hitting someone after a race happens more than you think and usually there’s nothing that comes out of it, but Bubba is black and NASCAR wants to set an example on him.
@@bostonwarrior4824Denny and Larson have history…… that wipes out half the field
Two did*
I believe there are two reasons for the fine. One Alex tried to get in touch with Wallace during the rain delay to explain what happened and to maybe apologize for it and he wouldn't answer his phone. Two it was several hours later after the rain delay and everything going on with that and they somewhat finished the race he had enough time to cool off and chose to door him in the wall with his window net down and maybe his seat belts loose.
Shoulda had points tacked onto it as well
@@Jbear90 nope shouldn’t been a penalty at all if Chase wasn’t penalized why should Bubba!
@@miketwotwenty Bubba should be banned
@@Crussell04how racist are you from 1-10? Just asking
@@michigan__railfan for a friend
Because Elliot bumped Suarez lightly. He didn’t wall him while his window net was down, he bumped him so lightly I doubt Elliot even dented his or Suarez’s car. Plus, that didn’t happen before an hour plus long rain delay where they could have talked about it, instead bubba avoided bowman and walled him after the race.
Bubba really needs to work on judgement and his temperament. He had basically most of the race to think about it prior to reacting. Alex may still be recovering from a previous concussion and a broken back. Bubba previously tossed liquid in Alex’s face while he was down on the ground being treated by medical personnel. What does he have against Alex? The higher fine is due to multiple offenses by Bubba. Enough already! And I tend to be a fan of his. 🥴
For all the "bUt cHaSe dId iT tOo" folks, Bubba has a longer history of acting out when things don't go his way and making it super obvious that he is angry and retaliating. No different here. He has never made an attempt to correct his behavior and his army of simps are always ready to bust out the racist card to deflect. Both Bubba and his fans seem to have a severe victim mentality and he really needs to get in control of his emotions if he doesn't want this to keep happening to him.
Chase Elliott has been in more beefs than most drivers and has been suspended for intentionally wrecking someone chase Elliott should’ve gotten suspended it’s ridiculous you’re just a chase fan that’s the only reason u view it differently
Isnt 50k the lowest monetary fine possible with there "new" penalty system?
Not a fair penalty tbh.
They were probily unstraping their seat belts so this is very fair
Especially since Elliott did the same thing to Saurez
Cry harder bubba simp
I agree chase should get penalized too, favoritism in sports!
It's more about his history than that contact in my opinion
It's time for Bubba to get his temper in check. NASCAR is putting their foot down on Bubba. Will Bubba play the race card on NASCAR?
What is there to make sense of? Repeat offenders typically get higher fines.
So why wasn’t Chase penalized? He’s a repeat offender.
@@slackhammer4467True
Kyle Larson is a repeat offender

@sjs3469 my comment was a joke, I understand it's the internet and it is difficult to tell when someone is joking. Bubba is way overhyped I completely agree. If Hamlin was smart he would have put Josh Berry in the 23 car!
Most likely because the window net was down, drivers usually loosen up the safety harness and helmet chin strap, plus impact on the right side then impact into the wall and a driver who had a fairly recent back & head injury (concussion). That's my take on it.
Gragson to FRM
It's probably because Bowman was unbuckling his straps with the window net down.
Bubba Wallace gets penalized, Chase Elliot doesn't. This sport is actually rigged.
I agree. Rigged for bubba.
Not only that, Austin Hill has barely been penalized for the things he’s done in trucks/Xfinity like punching someone in the face which was caught on camera.
How many warnings does Bubbles need. Hes done this kind of stuff before
Its because the Bubba Wallace haters would lose there mind if he didn't get penalized lol
I absolutely love how much he lives rent free in the haters minds, it's one of the reasons I root for him every sunday.
Go Bubba!
One reason I know some people don’t like Bubba Wallace(and I get it)is they find him overhyped.
@@bighand1530 Which is a totally valid reason. I think he's overhyped too, but he's still better than half the field IMO. Regardless, the problem is that many of those people say that's their reason, but read enough of their comments and they eventually slip up, showing their true reasons for disliking him.
Shouldn't have been a penalty
Hi Eric Estepp I'm a huge fan of your channel and I never miss a single episode
Know what a crazy thing is? CHASE DID THE SAME THING THIS WEEKEND AND NO PENALTY.
This is just NASCAR bending down to what the fans want becaus it popped up on tv.
Money fines arent going to faze guys making the salaries they are. To get their attention, you not only have park the driver for a race, but park the CAR for a race. No drivers points, no owners points, no sponsor on TV, and the crews dont get the extra pay and possible bonus money paid at the end of the year based on the point total. I guarantee THAT will get their attention.
Oh yeah it'll get their attention. It'll get more sponsors to back out of the sport because teams can't meet their contractual obligations because some dork on the internet thought the whole team should have to be punished for one guys dumb decision. Great idea for hindering the sport
Why punish the entire team for something the driver did
because those team guys will make it very plain to the driver to cut out the BS. If the drivers want to retailiate, then go outside the track. At least them they arent damaging racecars
So a $50,000 fine isnt enough to convince someone, but if the team owners talk to him real nicely he won't do it again. Yea okay buddy
Maybe because it's one thing after the another with this supposed top level DEI driver not being able to control himself. He has had years full of chances now it's time for him to to truly be held accountable for his despicable behavior before he causes a serious injury or death to another driver.
Bubba has a history of "not getting the message"....IMO he never learned anything from his intentional spin of Kyle Larson and was only suspended 1 race and lets be honest, he never really apologized. So Bubba needed to get something harsh although I feel taking points away would be a stronger message.
Bro, Bowman literally cleaned out Bubble earlier. This has nothing to do with history. The penalty was too harsh.
Why didn't Bowman just LOOK for Bubba? He said he called him, shot him a text, but never said he went and tried to FIND the guy
Should be fined and given a bill from Mr. Hendrick for damage to the car.
Should Mr Hendrick get a bill from track house? The hypocrisy is off the scale
@@robertstone9988why? Hendrick is the only reason they’re competitive
I agree. And bubba should recieve jail time for the noose hoax publicity stunt in 2020.
@@Crussell04yeah your racist
@@Grayson950815 because the golden boy chase did the exact same thing and nascar looked the other way. Matter fact every single driver in the feald has done it at least once and it was all good when they did it. You all hate bubba so much, why? Wht did his existence do to you?
Fine is BS, especially when Chase gets overlooked, again. Also, this should be decided in less than 2 days. Blatant favoritism from the idiots running NASCAR yet again
Bunny needs a wake up call. A great opportunity for him and he continues to prove he doesn’t have the ability to show maturity.
Bubba would NEVER have done that to someone who would confront him. He does this to guys who he knows would not do anything about it.
100% agree. He flips on people smaller than him but dudes older or his own size? He don’t do shii
NASCAR needs to make a rule for drivers not to loosen safety harnesses until they're stopped on pit road. One day a driver on the cool down lap is going to get seriously hurt by retaliation or even congratulatory impacts between vehicles.
