FOX cameras caught Bubba Wallace in an animated pit-road exchange with Christopher Bell after Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Watkins Glen, though the trigger for the confrontation was not immediately clear.
Wallace ended a difficult day in 29th after a late spin following contact with John Hunter Nemechek, while Bell finished 21st in another setback for two Toyota-affiliated drivers enduring frustrating seasons.
Mike Joy said the pair “had a few words” on the broadcast, and Kevin Harvick added, “I don’t think we’re good right here,” underscoring the tension between drivers whose teams share an alliance.
Shane van Gisbergen dominated the race itself, charging back after his final pit stop to win the No. 97 Chevrolet ahead of Michael McDowell and Ty Gibbs for his second straight victory.
