    A new report suggests that NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace may have falsely claimed that his steering was broken when he slammed into the side of another NASCAR driver during a race Sunday.

    The incident happened during Stage 2 of the South Point 400 at Las Vegas
    Motor Speedway when Wallace, who won Stage 1, was next to driver Kyle Larson when Larson attempted a three-wide pass.

    Larson moved up the track and his car gave a slight tap to WallaceAs car, causing WallaceAs car to brush up against the wall. After brushing up against the wall, Wallace bounced into LarsonAs car and then continued by tracking LarsonAs car down the track and slamming into the rear of his car, causing both cars to spin out.

    Multiple reports said that the move by Wallace to spin out LarsonAs car appeared to be intentional. NASCAR could penalize Wallace if they believe
    that his actions were deliberate.

    During an interview after the crash, Wallace was asked if he retaliated against Larson by intentionally slamming into his car, causing both cars to spinout.

    oSteering was gone,o Wallace claimed and then smirked, ohe just so happened
    to be there.o

    However, Insider noted in a report that NBCAs on-screen telemetry of
    WallaceAs car oseemed to disprove WallaceAs defenseo because measurements showed that Wallace was oall the way down on the gas just before hitting Larsono which the report said would onot have been expected if he did not
    have control of the steering.o

    After both cars came to a stop, Wallace got out of his car and physically attacked Larson, who is smaller than Wallace.

    WallaceAs outburst sparked calls for him to be suspended or face potential criminal charges.

    Hundreds of accounts on social media called out WallaceAs top sponsor, McDonaldAs, and challenged the fast food company to reconsider its decision
    to sponsor him.

    oBubba Wallace tried to kill a guy during a race yesterday because he was angry,o The Daily WireAs Matt Walsh tweeted. oNASCAR went along with that garage door pull stunt a few years ago and created a cry baby self-entitled monster in the process. Yet another overgrown man child who has never been told no in his life.o

    oHe rammed his car into someone going 180 miles an hour. ItAs not bumper cars,o Walsh added. oYou could easily kill someone doing that.o

    He rammed his car into someone going 180 miles an hour.
    It's not bumper cars. You could easily kill someone doing that.

    Sure, because that's what you do when you lose steering on your vehicle:
    you hunt down another driver, crash into them, and then get out and try
    to kick their ass.

    Better be careful or he'll invent another fake hate crime over some
    randomly dangling piece of string.

    At barest of minimum, he needs to be gone until Daytona 2023.
