After brushing up against the wall, Wallace bounced into Larson\u2019s car and then continued by tracking Larson\u2019s car down the track and slamming into the rear of his car, causing both cars to spin out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur actions are really specific to what took place on the racetrack,\u201d O\u2019Donnell told SiriusXM Speedway host Dave Moody. \u201cAnd when we look at how that incident occurred in our minds [it was] really a dangerous act, we thought that was intentional, and put other competitors at risk. And as we look at the sport and where we are today, and where we want to draw that line going forward, we thought that definitely crossed the line. And that\u2019s what we focused on in terms of making this\u00a0call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about how NASCAR determined that Wallace\u2019s actions were intentional, O\u2019Donnell said that they had a lot of data that they looked at. NBC\u2019s on-screen telemetry of Wallace\u2019s car \u201cseemed to disprove Wallace\u2019s defense\u201d because measurements showed that Wallace was \u201call the way down on the gas just before hitting Larson\u201d which the report said would \u201cnot have been expected if he did not have control of the steering,\u201d Insider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/bubba-wallace-kyle-larson-fight-jeff-burton-2022-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of data available to us,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said. \u201cAnd we looked at that data and kind of reviewed the incident from a bunch of different angles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Donnell said that Wallace\u2019s actions were something that NASCAR does not want to see going forward and that fans should not try to compare NASCAR\u2019s one-race suspension of Wallace to other past actions that NASCAR has taken.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udcad &#8220;When we look at this incident, you&#8217;re not only endangering one, but there&#8217;s a lot of cars out there at speed\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NASCAR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NASCAR<\/a> COO Steve O&#8217;Donnell joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SXMSpeedway?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SXMSpeedway<\/a> and explained the one race suspension handed down to Bubba Wallace following his actions <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LVMotorSpeedway?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LVMotorSpeedway<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hnCFfDIrIj\">pic.twitter.com\/hnCFfDIrIj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90) (@SiriusXMNASCAR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SiriusXMNASCAR\/status\/1582488669625077762?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 18, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcad &quot;When we look at this incident, you&#39;re not only endangering one, but there&#39;s a lot of cars out there at speed&#8230;&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NASCAR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NASCAR<\/a> COO Steve O&#39;Donnell joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SXMSpeedway?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SXMSpeedway<\/a> and explained the one race suspension handed down to Bubba Wallace following his actions <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LVMotorSpeedway?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LVMotorSpeedway<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hnCFfDIrIj\">pic.twitter.com\/hnCFfDIrIj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90) (@SiriusXMNASCAR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SiriusXMNASCAR\/status\/1582488669625077762?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 18, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Wallace\u2019s outburst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/calls-grow-for-bubba-wallace-to-be-suspended-face-potential-criminal-charges-for-violent-attack-after-crash?preview_id=451153&amp;preview_nonce=d5bef15f4b&amp;preview=true&amp;_thumbnail_id=451163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sparked calls<\/a> for him to be suspended or face potential criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=McDonalds%20Wallace&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hundreds<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=McDonald%27s%20Wallace&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accounts<\/a> on social media called out Wallace\u2019s top sponsor, McDonald\u2019s, and challenged the fast food company to reconsider its decision to sponsor him.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bubba-wallace-slammed-for-statement-not-apologizing-to-driver-he-attacked-you-tried-murdering-a-driver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bubba Wallace Slammed For Statement Not Apologizing To Driver He Attacked: \u2018You Tried Murdering A Driver\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASCAR COO Steve O\u2019Donnell slammed driver Bubba Wallace during an interview Tuesday about the crash that Wallace caused Sunday and his subsequent attack on a driver.
