Two Bubba Wallace crew members suspended for loose wheel

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.
