Bubba Wallace lost a wheel at Circuit of The Americas over the weekend. Wallace’s crew chief and two other members of the 23XI racing crew will be suspended for four races under NASCAR rules.
On Tuesday afternoon, those worries were validated.
For the next four races, Bubba Wallace‘s crew chief Robert ‘Bootie’ Barker, jackman Caleb Dirks, and rear-tire changer Adam Riley have been suspended.
This is obviously not Wallace’s preferred position. But, at the end of the day, his employees anticipated this punishment.
Meanwhile, NASCAR fans believe that the rule should be amended in the future.
One fan tweeted, “Knew it was coming, but damn.” “I understand the rule, but four races is a lot of racing.”

“Whoever made this rule at NASCAR needs to be arrested,” a fan jokingly said.

At this point, no extra sanctions for Wallace’s crew have been disclosed.
Hopefully, something similar to this will not occur again.
