NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick agrees with Kyle Petty on Bubba Wallace 'frustration'

NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick has become the latest to offer his opinion on Bubba Wallace wrecking Carson Hocevar at Martinsville on Sunday.

The incident occurred in stage three of the Cook Out 400, with Wallace turning Hocevar's No. 77 Chevrolet, causing significant damage to both cars, and it looked like no mistake.

Wallace's car was so wrecked that he was forced to park up in the garage as a result, while Hocevar went on to finish 17th.

Following the race, Wallace claimed that he didn't mean to wreck Hocevar, but his spotter has since called the move 'inexcusable', while one of his 23XI bosses, Denny Hamlin, also admitted that he 'wrecked himself'.

Following the incident, former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty suggested that the move from Wallace came due to frustration stemming from being dominated by his teammate, Tyler Reddick, and it turns out, Harvick agrees.

Harvick analyses Wallace-Hocevar incident

Speaking on his Happy Hour show, Harvick analysed the incident in detail, he too suggesting that Wallace finds himself under pressure because of his teammates' performances.

“Bubba got riled up because Carson put him three wide on a restart and put him in a bad spot, and Bubba didn't like that,” Harvick said. “But you know, it's Martinsville.

“And I've lost my temper a bunch of times at Martinsville and probably done stuff like this too, but Bubba just lost his cool. He didn't like the move that Carson put on him early in the race, and then kind of lost his cool there and wound up crashing into the [No.] 77 and himself and several others. So, unfortunate for all the other guys that are involved.”

Harvick continued: “It wasn't long ago, we were talking about Bubba and Tyler being one-two in the points, Bubba’s [now] 11th in the points.

“When you look at that and you're the guy that is 11th in the points and your teammate’s the guy that’s won four races and leading the points, that's a lot of pressure.

“And I promise you that he's frustrated that he's not been the guy that that's won the race[s], but you've got to keep it together. You can't lose your cool like that.”
