HOTTEST: “Bubba Wallace & Denny Hamlin in PHYSICAL Fight After Coke 600—Deleted Video Surfaces”
Tempers boiled over in Charlotte following the Coca-Cola 600, as a now-deleted video shows Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin involved in a shocking physical altercation in the garage area.
The video, originally posted to an anonymous racing fan account, spread like wildfire before being quickly removed from most platforms—but not before millions saw it.
What Happened?
According to eyewitnesses and audio from the clip, the confrontation began as a heated exchange over late-race contact between the two 23XI Racing teammates. Wallace, who was spun out with less than 30 laps to go, reportedly blamed Hamlin for the incident.
The video shows the two shouting inches from each other’s faces before Wallace appears to shove Hamlin against a toolbox. Hamlin then responds with a quick push back and what looked like a brief punch before crew members and officials separated the pair.
NASCAR’s Response
NASCAR issued a statement early Monday morning:
“We are reviewing all available footage and statements regarding the post-race incident involving drivers Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin. Driver conduct, especially among teammates, is taken seriously.”
Suspensions or penalties may be announced pending investigation.
Deleted But Not Forgotten
Though the original post was taken down within minutes, screen recordings and reposts of the video continue to circulate. One slowed-down version appears to show Wallace shouting, “You always put yourself first—every damn time!” while Hamlin responds, “You wrecked yourself. Own it!”
Tension Boiling Over?
Both drivers have had public frustrations this season, with Wallace vocal about feeling like the “second priority” at 23XI. Hamlin, a co-owner of the team, has been under pressure from both sponsors and fans over internal team dynamics.
A former crew member told reporters:
“This has been building for a while. Bubba wants to win—he feels like he’s not getting the same stuff. Denny still sees himself as the alpha. It was only a matter of time.”
What’s Next for 23XI?
The fallout could be massive. Sponsors are reportedly demanding answers, and team PR has gone into overdrive attempting to spin the story. An emergency meeting at the 23XI Racing shop is scheduled for Tuesday.
Neither driver has commented publicly as of this writing, but fans expect a press conference in the coming days.
Stay tuned—this story is far from over.
