Then, Wallace bounced into Larson\u2019s car, continued tracking it, and slammed into the rear causing both cars to spin out.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple reports said that the move by Wallace to spin out Larson\u2019s car appeared intentional.

So, like I said, I mean, he had a reason to be mad, but his race wasn\u2019t over until he retaliated. So it is what it is. Just, yeah, just aggression turned into frustration and he\u00a0retaliated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked on camera if it was appropriate for Wallace to retaliate at that speed, Larson said no, as he pointed to the severity of injuries that could happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think with everything that\u2019s been going on here lately with head injuries and all that, fractured ligaments and all that I don\u2019t think it\u2019s probably the right thing to do,\u201d Larson said.<\/p>\n<p>Larson did not act angry during the interview and seemed to have a lighter view of the incident, saying that most drivers have lost their cool and retaliated during races.<\/p>\n<p>However, when the same person interviewed Wallace on camera, he took no responsibility for his actions.<\/p>\n<p>The interviewer pointed out that Cliff Daniels, one of the top NASCAR crew chiefs, said that Wallace\u2019s actions amounted to retaliation, and then asked Wallace if it was retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCliff is smart enough to know how easy these cars break so when you get shoved into the fence, like deliberately like he did, trying to force me to lift, steering was gone,\u201d Wallace claimed and then smirked, \u201che just so happened to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just a piss poor move on his execution,\u201d Wallace continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen situations like this happen, Bubba, at this speed, is retaliation an acceptable thing?\u201d the interviewer asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop fishing,\u201d Wallace snapped. \u201cStop fishing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not fishing. I\u2019m just asking you,\u201d the interviewer responded. \u201cLet\u2019s also talk about the message you wanted to send to Kyle by going up to him after the incident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe knows,\u201d Wallace said. \u201cHe knows that what he did was wrong. He wanted to question what I was doing.
