Bubba Wallace

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Bubba, came home second, will now be scored 29th because of that penalty. Were you aware you went below the double yellow or were you forced?

BUBBA WALLACE: No, I turned left, got super loose. To keep it straight, I ended up there. It's unfortunate. You can go back and look, there's some TLs all over the brakes trying to just get the spot back. It says don't go below the yellow line again in your position, which I didn't, I was still third. I got a shove from the 54 to go to second. Technically no positions were gained doing that. Again, SMT data shows me trying to get it back. The 54 just shoves us by here.

It's unfortunate. Really good day. Got spun there by the 54 and rebounded. Another race for Bubba Wallace and company.

Q. Saw you having words with Ty Gibbs after the race. Are you guys okay?

BUBBA WALLACE: We'll be fine. He had an opportunity to give there a lot and he didn't do that. When I told him that, he quickly went on the defense and said, Don't block. When you hit me square in the bumper, means you ran right into me. The block was clean. But, yeah, that's Toyota teammates; we don't race very well together.
