Bubba Wallace got physical with Kyle Larson after their wreck during the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday.

The drivers were on lap 95, and Larson was trying to get past both Wallace and Kevin Harvick. Harvick got out of the way, but Larson slid up the track and bumped Wallace into the wall. Wallace flipped out after being bumped and retaliated. He came across the track to bump Larson, wrecking both of them. The caution flag came out after that.
