Appearances can be deceptive. And apparently, that’s what happened with NASCAR fans at Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas. After the race, Bubba Wallace and Christopher Bell were spotted having an animated conversation on the pit road. And as soon as the video of the two surfaced online, speculations about them having an argument began brewing.
“He (Bubba Wallace) was mad at me for…shouldn’t say mad at me. He was discussing whether I should have let him go mid-race whenever we are side by side for a couple laps.”
“I will say that I hate two tires, it’s never worked for me. I’ve always been plowing tight. Bootie (crew chief) and the team did a great job and it fired off money there. I thought we were going to settle for sixth right before that caution came out and I think that’s about where we were all day. We have a lot of stuff to work on, but a good, solid day. Finally, be able to finish a race where we deserve.”
“Honestly, the finish ended up about as good as we could have asked for with the Sirius XM Toyota Camry TRD. I don’t know, really up-and-down strange day for us because we took off and I felt really good and drove right to top five and I didn’t feel like I had anything for the Hendrick cars. It seemed like we were the best of the rest and then we lost the handling.”
