Fan Video Catches Physical Confrontation Between Bubba Wallace and Aric Almirola After On-Track Incident

The rain that soaked Charlotte, 🌲North Carolina, for the Coca-Cola 600 was not enough to dampen tempers during one of the race’s delays on Monday.

During one delay, driver Aric Almirola confronted and then shoved 🏁Bubba Wallace until the two were separated by a race official.

In a Fox News clip on Twitter, Wallace used the word “frustration” to describe the incident.

Almirola said the roots of the confrontation came when Wallace passed him and “shot me the bird.”

“I just went to go ask him why you shot me the bird,” said Almirola, who finished 25th.

“He started mouthing off and cussing at me and I told him I wasn’t going to have that. Disappointing but that’s him. I know that,” he said.

Almirola said the incident is closed
