Bubba Wallace loses wheel on pit road, finishes stop with Chase Briscoe’s pit crew at Richmond

Quick thinking by Bubba Wallace and his team! However, Wallace’s chances of winning tonight could be out the window. The 23 team didn’t get the left front wheel fully secured. Joe Gibbs Racing’s 19 team put the wheel back on to save Wallace’s team a NASCAR penalty.

Bubba Wallace can try to salvage his race. But it won’t be easy. He was on pit road for a long time. Now, he has to try to unlap himself and hope that he can get back on the lead lap.

Chase Briscoe’s team was quick on their feet. We saw this earlier in the season, also involving the 19 team. Wallace is saved a penalty and pit crew suspension. Wallace will serve a pass-through for pitting out of his box, though. Still, not the worst news.
