On the TV broadcast, Wallace took blame for the incident after one look at the crash. However, moments later, he circled back and said it a little different…
“I need to take another look at it. It looked like the No. 5 hit me and got me down there,” Bubba Wallace told Matt Weaver.
“I hate that we tore up a bunch of cars. So, I think that I looked and it was ‘Blame Bubba Wallace National Day’ today so I’ll take the blame for it.”
“I didn’t think the aggression level was too high at that point. I thought everyone was playing nice.”
He added, “I hate it. We got to the lead fairly quick. It was setting up to be a good day.”
“All kinda just came together. It was very unexpected. The No. 12 moved up and the No. 22 was trying to, not really bully his way up, just to take the line away. I kinda held my ground. And the next thing I knew we were three wide.”
