Larson did run him into the wall and definitely needed payback. Now the first rule of racing is learn how to wreck someone without wrecking yourself that Danica never learned, and Bubba could have picked a better spot, but Larson had it coming just like Logano did. But you can’t take out innocent bystanders.

Well, since NASCAR's poster child stopped short of crawling into Larson's car and taking a dump in it he won't get hit that hard. I can name a list of drivers who would be in serious hot water right now if they retaliated on the track like that but NASCAR will talk tough and do very little to Wallace. It is what it is.

I feel like if this was any driver besides Bubbles, there would be a suspension. Nascar won't suspend him so no one will claim racism.

Y'all are correct.

It's ok if you don't follow NASCAR at all. Just weird that you'd post here to seemingly on purpose look like a moron.

I was an avid follower of na$car until it died at the end of the 2003 season.

Had that been anyone else, they'd have been suspended until 2023. Anyone with the least bit of reality in their brains knows this.

No they wouldn’t have. Kyle Busch only got a race when he took out Ron Hornaday under caution. Jeff Gordon got no punishment when he took out Clint Bowyer and two others. Matt Kenseth is the only driver in memory that got more than a one race suspension for an on track accident, and he was about 100 laps down in a damaged car and took out the leader(which still wasn’t as bad as Gordon)

Come back with some precedent to back up your claim, or sit this one out

Oh it died?

Weird. I've been watching since the 80's. The racing in the last 10 years has been better than anything I EVER saw in the 90s. I mean I suppose it was occasionally fun to watch the same 3 drivers dominate literally everything. But the quality of the product on the racetrack from 2005 to now is infinitely better.

And while nothing makes me laugh more than the crowd of boomers that think NASCAR was better in its cookie cutter vanilla boring days of old, I've already argued this ad nauseum and it's my assessment that you aren't worth the time of re-invigorating that argument.

Maybe this year on tracks where the tires hold up, but you have to admit that stupid low horsepower high downforce package than ran at some tracks the last few years made for some bad racing.

And for the most part the on track action is better, but tracks like Bristol and Atlanta were far better in the late 90’s/early 00’s

The spring Atlanta races in 2000 and 2001 are still my two favorite races that I attended

Wasn't talking about the on track stuff. Talking about:

1-walking across the track while cars are going by
2-repeatedly shoving an opposing driver
3-ignoring the directives of the na$car official
4-putting his woke hands on a na$car official

All that should get him parked until 2023.

They haven’t punished drivers for fighting in like 10 years.

Come back with precedent to back up your claim. Ty Gibbs nearly sent Ty Dillon into crew members and officials, his punishment was a fine his granddaddy paid and a points penalty in a series he’s not eligible for points in.

This is the harshest punishment NASCAR has given a driver since the Matt Kenseth-Joey Logano deal for anything other than a failed drug test or saying a racial slur on a live stream

There was a time when Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski basically tried and often did wreck each other any time they got around each other. A few of those wrecks were far more egregious than the Bubba/Larson incident, including a couple where in real time you wondered if the guy who got wrecked was seriously hurt or worse. The most NASCAR ever gave them was a stern talking to and I think one of them got a fine or two.

They appear to at least be changing precedent with some decisions over the last year (still don't like how they reneged on the Byron punishment when Hendrick paid his way out of it). But you're absolutely right saying they haven't done it often.
