Bubba Wallace's team encountered a tire mix-up during the NASCAR All-Star Open. Wallace's No. 23 car had three red soft tires and one yellow tire, which is against NASCAR regulations requiring all four tires to be the same compound. This mistake necessitated an additional pit stop to correct the issue. Despite this, Wallace was among the first three drivers off pit road, along with Ty Gibbs and Alex Bowman. Additionally, Corey LaJoie and John Hunter Nemechek were penalized for speeding on pit road.
HA. After all, Wallace does have four soft tires on. There is green tape on the left-front tire, making it look yellow. https://t.co/34Z06XCu9n
UPDATE! https://t.co/KhJwIqDUkr
Hahahah! And Tv made it seem like the left front wasn't the option tire as the other three fro Bubba Wallace. So, he's all good.
There hasn't been anything said on Bubba Wallace's radio about the tires. The field is coming to the choose
Oh boy. Bubba Wallace's left-front tire is a regular gripped tire while the other three are the soft tires. He will need to pit again. All four must be the same compound. #NASCAR
And Bubba Wallace's team appears to have put a wrong tire on the car! Great observation by @LarryMac28 https://t.co/C6U7Vl4bAt
Uhhh Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar have mixed up tires on their cars... #NASCAR #AllStarOpen
Oh lord. @BubbaWallace's No. 23 car put 3 red tires on and 1 yellow. Ya can't do that, need to put 4 of the same ones on. #NASCAR Nabbed for speeding on pit road: @CoreyLaJoie & @JHNemechek.
Ty Gibbs, Alex Bowman, and Bubba Wallace the first three off pit road. But the 23 team put three red tires on Wallace's Toyota and all four must be the same.
