Bubba Wallace calls fellow driver 'a joke' after being wrecked and losing a shot at competing in the NASCAR All-Star Race

• Bubba Wallace was spun by Michael McDowell and was knocked out early in the All-Star Open race.
• The wreck likely cost Wallace a shot at competing in the All-Star Race later in the evening despite leading the fan voting as he was left without a car.
• During an interview after the race, Wallace mocked the impending text he would receive from McDowell and called him "a joke."

Bubba Wallace was spun and knocked out of the All-Star Open race at Bristol and he was not happy.

On Lap 17 of the race, Wallace had just passed Michael McDowell into third place when the 34 car moved left into Wallace's car and causing him to spin and wreck out of the race.

The wreck almost certainly cost Wallace a shot at competing in the NASCAR All-Star race later in the evening. Wallace was leading the fan voting for the final spot, however, his car was seemingly beyond repair.

After the race, Wallace was asked about the wreck and he expressed his displeasure with McDowell.

"I don't even need to see a replay," Wallace told FS1. "Look at that s---. Wow. People say [he is] one of the nicest guys in the garage. Can't wait for the god-fearing text he's going to send me about preaching and praise and respect. What a joke he is."

Wallace wasn't done either.

Shortly after the interview, Wallace took the bumper from his wrecked car and dropped it outside of McDowell's trailer.
