NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace somehow managed to walk away from a frightening wreck during Sunday’s Bank of America 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The 33-year-old 23XI Racing driver was on the outside as he came out of a turn on lap 77 when rival Alex Bowman lost control of his No. 48 car, which crashed into Wallace’s No. 23, sending both vehicles spinning.

There was particular concern for Wallace in the USA Network announcers’ booth as the rear right side of his car absorbed two impacts in quick succession while bouncing from one wall and into the other.

‘There’s already damage, a secondary hit to the same area of the right rear that’s already been crushed,’ said USA’s Steve Letarte. ‘You know that car is designed with some crushing space. Well, he kind of used that up in the first hit.’

Tyler Reddick was commended by the USA booth for avoiding the wreck by turning nearly sideways amid the flying wreckage.

Wallace was able to exit his vehicle and board an ambulance without assistance. After getting checked by medical personnel, he discussed the crash with USA.

Wallace had three straight top-10 finishes entering Sunday and was  in fifth when he crashed

‘No warning,’ he said over the thundering engines in Charlotte. ‘Seen it in the last second… No hard feelings… He just got loose and got us.’

Asked how he was doing, Wallace made a reassuring joke.

‘Still got nine fingers and nine toes, so we’re good,’ he said.

Bowman took responsibility for the crash with reporters.

‘I just got loose and way overcorrected,’ he told NASCAR reporter Alan Cavanna. ‘Definitely caught me off-guard, I don’t understand why we got loose. It just snapped and I did a s*** job hanging onto it and ruined two other guys’ days.’

Bowman’s crash also took out William Byron.

Wallace had three straight top-10 finishes entering Sunday and was running in fifth at the time of the crash.

Unfortunately for Byron, he came into the race sitting in 12th in the championship standings, meaning Sunday’s 39th-place finish may cost him any hopes of a title in 2026.

Wallace entered the day in 10th place.

Ultimately the race was won by Joe Gibbs Racing’s Chase Briscoe, who held off teammate Christopher Bell in a photo finish.
