On Tuesday, NASCAR suspended Wallace from this weekend’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway for intentionally wrecking the car of Kyle Larson during last Sunday’s race at Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

No fine or points penalties were assessed.<\/p>\n

Wallace, who drives the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing, is the first driver to be suspended for actions in a race since 2019, when Johnny Sauter was suspended one race for intentionally wrecking Austin Hill in a Truck event at Iowa Speedway. He is the first Cup driver suspended for an on-track incident since Matt Kenseth in 2015 when he intentionally wrecked Joey Logano at Martinsville Speedway.<\/p>\n

On Lap 95 of 267 in Sunday’s Cup Series race, Larson slid up into Wallace \u2013 who had won Stage 1 and led 29 of the first 94 laps \u2013 and knocked him into the outside wall.<\/p>\n

As Wallace came back down the track, he slammed into the right-rear of Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet, sending both cars spinning and damaged beyond repair. Playoff driver Christopher Bell was also swept in the crash and fell out of the race.<\/p>\n

After exiting his own car, Wallace walked over to Larson’s wrecked car and started shoving Larson.<\/p>\n
