In support of Bubba Wallace, who received a $50,000 punishment from NASCAR for hitting Alex Bowman in Chicago, Dale Earnhardt Jr. delivered a statement. Earnhardt shared the guidance he would give Wallace as he gets over the incident on the Dale Jr. Download podcast.
Earnhardt stated, “I would tell Bubba, ‘Man, it wasn’t that big of a deal.'” “Hey, I can understand the emotion, you ran into him,” is all I would say to Bubba. Many of us disagreed that there ought to have been a fine.I felt that fifty thousand was too much.
I’m not sure what the motivations behind NASCAR were. That astonished me. That was a hefty penalty.
“Place it in the mirror behind you. Make the necessary personal modifications, but don’t give it any more thought. It would be nice if he did it differently the next time in this circumstance. Other than that, though, I don’t think it’s a major problem.
In response to Wallace telling reporters that his emotions got the better of him when he was a NASCAR driver, Earnhardt also responded. Earnhardt remarked, “Bubba has shared his challenges with his emotions and his mental state of mind with everyone else here in this room.” ” Thank you for being honest about that. More mental struggles and battles than we would care to acknowledge likely exist in all of us. But he has been candid about it, and it appears that Bubba does focus on specific incidents like this and may exaggerate them more in his own mind than they do for the rest of us.
NASCAR is under fire from Dale Earnhardt Jr. for Bubba Wallace’s $50,000 fine.
Earnhardt chastised NASCAR for the $50,000 penalties in addition to offering Wallace some advice.
Earnhardt stated, “Yes, Chase Elliott’s deal was not as egregious, but this received more attention than that.” “.. They claim that when Bubba strikes Alex, Alex smashes the wall. Alright. We are at a street course, and walls of all kinds abound. It should be taken into account in this case. However, his belts were loose or off, and his window net was down. I’m driving around the racetrack without my seatbelt on, wait a minute. When you’re cooling down while driving, do you fu*king undo your belts? When you get to the garage, do you simply pop the belt and drive right in?
“.. I’ll tell you something: Bubba isn’t accountable for it. That’s not the case. Therefore, you can’t slap Bubba’s hand for Bowman’s loose belt.
“Hey, man, you know next time, he might have his belts loose,” is something I could say to Bubba. Let’s refrain from doing it. However, I ask Bowman, “What the hell, are your belts loose?” That’s rumor, if it is accurate at all. There are rumors circulating that he had his window down and his belts off or loose. The thought that he would have that as a cool-down lap absolutely blows my mind. He’s still driving the automobile.
