It only took a few laps for tensions to boil over Sunday during the NASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. With 32 cars in the field at the legendary half-mile short track and several drivers racing with little experience on the simulator, it was inevitable that the race would be filled with massive accidents – and after being involved in two accidents in the first 10 laps, Bubba Wallace quit the race and ripped Clint Bowyer for taking him out.
Drivers were allotted two “resets” during the race, which allows them to go down pit road and instantly repair any damage to the car. Wallace was involved in a wreck immediately after the start of the race that affected a large part of the field, and then had his car destroyed once again after tangling with Bowyer.
Bowyer came up on Wallace exiting Turn 4 and caused contact, and Bowyer’s car bounced off the outside wall and down the track. Bowyer saved the car, though…. and then drove into Wallace during the next corner. Wallace was understandably furious.

According to Bowyer, though, he “got Bubba’d” and wasn’t at fault.
