Two Bubba Wallace crew members suspended for loose wheel
Jun 21, 2026; San Diego, California, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Tyler Reddick (45) leads driver Bubba Wallace (23) during the NASCAR Cup Series Anduril 250 at Naval Base Coronado. Mandatory Credit: Karl Anderson-Imagn Images NASCAR suspended two members of Bubba Wallace's pit crew for two Cup Series races after a front wheel of Wallace's car became detached on Sunday at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego.
Rear-tire changer Adam Hartman and jackman Nathan Ricketts were penalized and must miss the upcoming races at Sonoma Raceway and Chicagoland Speedway. They'll be allowed to return July 12 at EchoPark Speedway outside Atlanta.
During Lap 18 on Sunday, Wallace's right-front wheel detached and caused a caution period. That represented a safety violation that broke Sections 8.8.10.4.A&D of the NASCAR rulebook.
Wallace received a two-lap penalty before rejoining the race. He still managed to finish second despite the setback, with his No. 23 finishing behind Corey Heim in a 1-2 finish for 23XI Racing.
