There was no shoving match Bubba was the only one shoving

No one even mentioned the fact that Bubba also put a hand on a NASCAR official. I always thought that was considered a very serious violation. I thought Larson showed a great deal of maturity in refusing to let Bubba provoke him into a fight. Granted, the fact that Bubba probably outweighs Kyle by 50 lbs. may have been a factor. Anyway, a one-race suspension is barely even a slap on the wrist, IMHO.

Just finished watching both Dale's and Kenny Wallace's take on this. One is trying to tip toe around as to not piss off anybody and the other tells it like it happened and what should be done. If you're not gonna tell it like it is then don't tell it at all

Shoving match? Come on Dale, how can it be a "match" with only one participant?

I think Kenny Wallace did a great job debullshitting this incident.

Crazy a tire changer got a more severe punishment than Bubba.

Kenny Wallace had the balls to tell it like it was .

I think the fact that Bubba pushed the official should have been a fine. I can't believe that was not even brought up.

There was NO shoving match, Bubba shoved and Kyle took it and tried to avoid it!

Shoving match? Nope, Bubba did all the shoving and that is further evidence to support that he had lost control of his temper and hit Larson in the right rear on purpose.

Jr sure has changed a lot I’m not sure what has happened to him but he’s really lost his balls.

Dale Jr feels strongly both ways. His Dad must be shaking his head.

Kenny Wallace has the most accurate and no BS description of what happened.

Dale… as a race driver YOU KNOW that bubba took out kyle intentionally. We don’t watch this channel to see you walk on eggshells.

The officials saw bubba coming they didn't try to stop him from getting to him

Love Dale Jr, but if you want the best analysis of the whole event, go to Kenny Wallace's KZfaq channel. He NAILED it shut, hands down.

Dale, you should not excuse or sugarcoat the incredibly bad decision making and behavior on the part of Wallace. You gotta clean it up Dale Jr. You are obviously the only one that saw a “shoving match”.

Jr sure used a lot of words to say a whole lot of nothing.

You IMMEDIATELY said‘that’s retaliation’ on live tv. I heard it & so did everyone listening. I AGREE WITH YOU 👍👍👍

My Greatest Issue is the fact that nobody seems to want to address. Bubba put Kyle into the wall at 170 mph and then walks up to Kyle and launches him self at him from several feet away shoving him so violently that Bubba himself went to his knee then shoves him 4 or 5 more times. And nobody had even determined if Kyle had been injured during the wreck and if he had those shoves could have been life threatening to a driver with a concussion or a neck injury. The nascar officials were negligent in allowing Bubba to even get into an altercation with Kyle and nothing will change that. Sports Entertainment my @$$. If Kyle does have a medical condition that is slow to show itself he's going to win that lawsuit because Bubba outed himself on who knows how many cameras and Nascars Negligence is very apparent. Total lack of self control and Maturity for a Supposed Cup level driver. Somebody needs to address that issue, Because drivers safety is paramount as noted with all recent safety meetings about this unsafe vehicle. I guess Bubba must have slept through those meetings or he is mentally to slow to grasp the obvious. This is a way bigger issue then is being discussed

You're both out to lunch, Bubba should have gotten way more discipline for what he did.

Jr. should take this incident more seriously

It was NOT a shoving match, Bubba Smulet tried to pick a fight.

I think if Larson hadn't clipped Bell, he would have hit the wall almost exactly the same angle which caused Kurt Busch's concussion, but at a much higher speed.

How was he not called to the Haller of NASCAR.🥵😎

"Mr No Lift" had a gas and brake pedal and steering wheel, he didn't use any of them, he hit the wall himself and showed how a medicore driver at best failed to engage his brain in the situation and then walked down the track , then engaged in shoving match. Strike 1 - 2 and 3

Kyle never touched him. He snuck in but he never touched him. All this does is put another drop of water on the flame of NASCAR. You're barely flickering boys🔥

Kenny Wallace’s commentary was concise and blunt. He is absolutely certain that Bubba ran himself into the wall, and that Kyle Larson did not, repeat did not, caused Bubba to crash into the wall.

I love you Dale, but that wasn't a shoving match matching plies that both people were shoving. That was a bully picking on a way smaller man because if he had been bigger bubble Wallace's side that shoving "match" would not have taken place

I thought that Kenny Wallace had the best observation on Bubba and Kyle.

Thank God for Kenny Wallace, he got it right

Kenny Wallace took all the BS out of the incident whilst everyone else has danced around the outside. Kenny called it exactly what it was.

No one has mentioned that Larson could have been injured (concussion) and the shoving by Wallace could have been aggravating a possible injury. There should be no contact between drivers after an accident until they are cleared by the medical center. This could have been a serious issue and should be addressed by NASCAR going forward.

My concern was the right quarter panel hook that put Larson drivers side into the wall. We all know these cars hit much harder and do not absorb near as much impact. Could have been a much worse outcome.Then the repeatedly shoving Larson without concern for possible injury from impact was unjustified.

Bubba showed no remorse whatsoever for anybodys safety. What little respect I had for Bubba is completely gone .

I think NASCAR should put a boxing ring in the infield of every track where drivers can go fight each other after the race. I’d watch the hell out of that.

Damn, first time I have felt jr. had a bad take. And that has proven to be the case. Put the brakes on the sugarcoat Jr.

I expect more from Dale. Wrecking someone intentionally 170mph with the knowledge how hard the hits are with the current car is unacceptable. The suspension is more than justified. It should have been multiple races. This consistent act of treating bubba with kid gloves by junior and DBC is ridiculous. Take some notes from Kenny Wallace. Hell even Joey Logano had a much better take.

Y’all said a lot to say nothing! Nascar will be proud of you Jr!

They let Bubba off the hook… why no comments about how well Larson handled his interview?

In other words Dale jr has talked a whole lot and still hasn't said anything.

Crazy how much people are sugar coating this incident. Bubba has become untouchable! Everyone is afraid to actually criticize the man and his talent on the track, and we all know why. He thinks he can get away with these actions because THIS Is how people will respond

Wow jr...for someone that retired bc of concussions sure did candy coat this.. glad Kenny wallace actually told it how it was

Glad to hear this segment at normal speed. Podcast seems to be running at time and a half. Was hard for me to stay engaged and keep up listening. I hope the whole podcast interview does not run fast like that; I don’t know if I will make it all the way through at that speed. I’m old. I feel like I’m having to run to keep up. I love these podcast. Can’t get enough. 😉😉😉

C Bell saved Kyle from a worse hit. Bubba needs therapy and a vacation.

So Matt kenseth got a 2 race suspension for purposely wrecking logano but bubba only gets a one race suspension. This is crap and nascar knows it.

No matter what happened when they were up high Bubba used his car as a weapon going low. I lost any respect and trust I had for bubba. A lot of other drivers will feel the same way

Would love to see bubba to try that against guys like jimmy Spencer

It's disappointing to see Jr. sugar coat this and try to make Bubba look innocent here. I bet if Jr. was in Larson's place his words wouldn't be so nice. Had this happened to Dale Sr., Bubba would have been picking his teeth up off the infield grass and Sr. would have gotten a half season suspension.

I wish Dale and Mike would have expressed their personal opinions on the incident. All they talked about was what they thought Nascar would do about it. I’m disappointed because Jr always tells us how he feels about situations and they are avoiding this one.

To me when Bubba apologized to Bell, Gibbs racing and Toyota for putting them in a position they didn't deserve in his reflections statement he is essentially saying he wrecked Kyle on purpose. Why else would he feel responsible for putting them in that position?

I sure hope we can talk about Bubba again tomorrow all day on NASCAR radio. I just can’t get enough. Smh.

Bubba chose to wreck himself then took out the 5 an 20

Perspective.....Larsons car NEVER touched Bubbas car!!!

Bubba needs to be completely removed from any racing for the rest of his life. You can't just attempt to seriously hurt someone because you got pissed off. It was very intentional there's no disputing it. Funny how he could've simply got out of the gas and not hit anything. It's very upsetting all the way around

This is exactly what is wrong in the us . Instead of people taking responsibility for actions, we step around the issues and blame everyone else for the issues. Kenny Wallace tells it like it is . Bubba ran into the wall. If you look at the Josh Berry on Saturday, same situation, different outcome.

They should of suspended Bubba for a full year and made him take anger manage classes. Larson got suspended for using "sensitive words" and made to take sensitivity classes and what Bubba did, putting Larson's life in danger along with other drivers, certainly in most people with common sense out weighs stupid words. Let's not forget, that he then walked across the track, not to see if Larson was ok ,but to attack him. Simply put " Road Rage". Then there was the putting a hand on an official.

I seen a few shows discussing this incident and it seems to me people are leaving out the fact that he not only took out Larson but took out Christopher Bell.

That was a nice touch of both in this YT post about the timeframe of this podcast being a 'played delayed' show.

The cars are too fast for Bubba's driving skills.

Nascar has proved that they now have double standards, when it comes to Bubba and it's going to show at the gate and TV viewers. If nascar thinks Busch get's booed, wait until we see how Bubba get's booed, for the rest of his career.

After all of the drivers showed their support for Bubba after the noose hoax this is how Bubba repays his fellow drivers. Shows what kind of person Bubba truly is.

Marty looked like he was ready to roll himself. He had a bit of a scowel in that interview

Mr. Obvious could figure this one out. Steering broke?...did not brake...jumped on the throttle...coincidently drove in a straight line toward Larson's rear quarter panel...🙄 What if Larson would have been seriously injured? The idiot should be banned for the rest of the season...

I would like to also add that Larson had his helmet and his hand after that first show when he sent Larson flying about 5 ft. If Larson would have turned around and smacked him in the head but that helmet he wouldn't have got shoved anymore and he would have been in the right to do so. Self-defense

Keep going Jr. your podcasts are #1 in my book!

Thank you Dale for sticking to the subject of racing and not using adjectives that are used to describe black people like victims, the big negro, or anger management problems. You show all the time you have integrity and won't stoop low to damage yourself and your family.

Steering is broken so he goes full throttle 🤣

I feel NASCAR should have ended Bubba's season. To drive across the track takes it to another level.

Oh how I’ve been waiting for this upload

Jr keeps calling its a shoving match is costing JR points with me.

By way of Nascars punishments, a loose wheel is much more dangerous than a loose cannon.

Kenny Wallace can explain this better.

Love the show Dale Jr and team. Would like it to be pointed out how professional Larson handled his interview and reaction to the whole incident. He showed a lot of maturity there that I personally appreciate from a much more talented driver.

That was amazing the praise you gave (Marty,) Dale Jr. Most people wouldn't say that about another colleague, that that was very cool thing you said. Bravo !

Dale no matter how you spin it, it was wrong at that speed to intentionally take out a driver, and also someone else who had nothing to do with the incident. How many others are pushed to the wall in racing, not always intentionally just because they are driving hard.

Bubba also lied. In the interview with Marty he said he doesn't/didn't lift. The following interview with the other reporters he said he lifted. Check it out. He's a true piece of work.

Throttle data shows Bubba was full throttle when he hit & turned Kyle into the wall. Clearly intentional.

The colin kapernick of nascar

I watched the entire race and there were several other racers in very similar situations as Bubba and handled it just fine. Wallace steered himself into the wall. There was no shoving match. Wallace was the only one pushing. Larson gets a year for a racial slur where Wallace gets a one race suspension? Seriously? Intentionally wrecks Larson then goes looking for a fight? One race??

Bubba Smellette created Noosecar and now he’s over privileged.

Maybe you should have Marty on the show! The Life of a Pit Reporter. That would be great conversation.

If jimmy Spencer still had his segment on racehub, bubba would get the crying towel and the straight jacket.

I was as upset with Bubba's treatment of Marty Snider as I was him intentionally right rear hooking my driver Kyle Larson. Larson made a dumb move getting that aggressive that early, but that was a clear overreaction by Bubba and these things need to be cracked down on hard, no matter who the driver doing it is.

Dale, you’re usually much more direct

NASCAR needs this every week . I bet viewers come back.

I'm like choosing my favorite forensic crash specialist "The Herminator" And I quote "bubba wrecked himself" 😂🤣.. He is correct.

If you ask me, I believe Bubba has been waiting for a moment to go at Larson for Larsons N word suspension. Because Larson pushing Bubba up the track is not a reason to go after someone. It happens in every race. Bubba has been wanting a reason to do what he did. He should be suspended the rest of the year.

Bubba needs anger management

David Ragan got fined $20,000 for leaving his wrecked car and walking to the infield, yet bubba not only did the same thing, yet he pushes a nascaution official and all the other b.s he pulled and he wasn't fined a penny last i knew! He was sat down for 1 race,how about just send him to bed without supper instead?!?! C'mon man! We've seen drivers and crew chiefs fined like crazy yet this guy doesn't get fined anything as i heard so far. Looks like nascaution has been a little lite with the punishment, if we can call a spade a spade here!!! Smh....

This did not age well this week, but it was good to hear these opinions before yesterday’s ruling by NASCAR. NASCAR needed to set this precedent. I have followed Bubba since his truck days. Yes, he screwed up. I am sure Hamlin and others chewed him out. This cannot happen again with Bubba. Hopefully Kurt Busch will have a talk with him since he has been through the spotlight before.

I'm not surprised at JR tap dancing around BUBBA the guy who seen a hanging rope when it was just a overhead pull for a garage door and the FBI investigation said the same

Every one knows bubba is the poster boy for nascar and they did just slap him on wrist that's all !

Kenny Wallace gave the best take on Miss Bubba.

Any respect that I had gained for Bubba over the last few weeks, has exited the building and burned to the ground.

Bubba's lucky Kyle didn't clock him with his helmet in hand

Dale, you are one heck of a man and I love your podcast and watch them every week, sometimes more than once. I think you are one of the best advocates for drivers and NASCAR. However, I think you are way off the boat on this one. I forget who said it but, Bubba would have been in Mike Helton's trailer right after this incident. NASCAR is getting too Woke and Kyle could have been seriously injured. You know all the complaints of the pain drivers have had after crashes with this car. Not to mention Bubba took out a points contender. Bubba should be suspended not for just one race but for the remainder of the season, as well as forced Anger Management Therapy. Plus his team should be fined a large number of owner points. We need another Mike Helton!!!!!

looking forward to Pt 2 where you cover what NASCAR actually did

I'm glad they mentioned the timeline of shooting the podcast and the airing of the podcast. I came over here to learn Jr's opinion on the suspension, and was scratching my head at how the conversation was going. Makes sense now.

Bubba is making a reputation of being a hot head, without the talent to back it up
