The last occurrence was Matt Kenseth, who was suspended following the fall race at Martinsville in 2015. I mean, can you blame me for feeling that way?īefore Wallace’s suspension, which was handed out on Tuesday, it had been nearly seven years since a driver was last suspended for an on-track incident in the NASCAR Cup Series. I fully expected the past precedent of drivers not being suspended for on-track incidents to continue this time around and that Wallace would be competing in Sunday’s Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway with a few less points on his yearly total and/or a little less heavy wallet. While it felt like Bubba Wallace likely had a suspension coming following a nasty retaliatory move on Kyle Larson in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and subsequent post-crash shove-fest, which led to a lot of public outrage on social media, I was still shocked by the penalty.

Bubba Wallace was suspended for intentionally crashing Kyle Larson at Las Vegas on Sunday.
