LEBANON, Tenn. (AP) — Bubba Wallace refused to discuss the details of the physical altercation in late May that led to the suspension of Aric Almirola by Joe Gibbs Racing. Wallace spoke Saturday after qualifying for Sunday’s Cup Series race at the Nashville Superspeedway. He briefly addressed the altercation that was first reported by The Athletic on Thursday. Wallace says he thinks he said enough at Charlotte last year when TV cameras caught Almirola shoving him and said that’s what happens when people walk around with two faces. Almirola was replaced on the Xfinity Series for the Charlotte race in May and hasn’t raced for JGR since.
