NASCAR announced Tuesday that it had suspended Bubba Wallace from the next Cup Series Championship event after his incident with Kyle Larson in Las Vegas Sunday.<\/p>\n

After Larson’s car forced Wallace’s car into the wall, Wallace returned the favor by hitting the rear of Larson’s car, forcing Larson’s car to spin out. After the crash, Wallace got in Larson’s face and pushed him.<\/p>\n

“My behavior does not align with core values \u200b\u200bthat are shared by 23XI Racing and our partners, who have played a crucial role in my incredible journey to the top of this great sport,” Wallace’s statement said.<\/p>\n

“I want to apologize to NASCAR and the fans, along with Christopher Bell, Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota for putting them in a situation in the playoffs that they do not deserve.<\/p>\n

“I compete with immense passion, and with passion, at times, comes frustration. Upon reflecting, I should have represented our partners and core team values \u200b\u200bbetter than I did by letting my frustrations follow me outside of the car. You live and learn, and I intend to learn from this.”<\/p>\n
