Bubba Wallace calls it a somber week after Denny Hamlin’s controversial move at Kansas Speedway
October 4, 2025
Bubba Wallace races in NASCAR for Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan, but Hamlin pushed Wallace into the wall last weekend at Kansas Speedway. Hamlin was seeking his 60th Cup Series win and a playoff spot. Wallace needed the win to advance in the playoffs. They briefly interacted on pit road after the race but only spoke on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Wallace said he respects Hamlin’s competitiveness but noted many drivers felt it was a questionable move. Wallace and teammate Tyler Reddick now face elimination from the playoffs. Shane van Gisbergen is a strong contender in Sunday’s race.
