How does a physical altercation even come into your thoughts when you’re in a team meeting, no matter how mad you are
And with a guy who doesn’t race in the same series as you.
It happens because one guy has a obnoxious mouth and it needed to be checked
People with big fat mouths that run them one too many times.
@@williamhodgden8970yeah the spaz has shown his true colors before, in the contrary, Almirola has very little track record of this
Damn, wasn’t expecting Eric to be outside for this video! XD
Didn’t have this on my NASCAR bingo card
There’s something personal between Aric and Bubba that maybe we don’t know that it maybe spilled that happened.
I Hope Aric isn’t racist!
@@miketwotwentyisn’t Aric a Latino? According to liberals people of color can’t be racist.
@miketwotwenty I don’t think race has anything to do with it because Aric is Cuban
Nope. If it were, he’d be going after Suarez every single weekend because of how he expresses himself (those helmets are cool-looking)
@isparky42i Racism is a global Institution. Wiki Racism in Cuba. I don’t believe Aric is though.
bruh name a more cursed pairing than aric almirola and joe gibbs racing…
Kevin Harvick at Hendrick Motorsports would be close
Chase Elliott at Joe Gibbs
not really cursed when aric drove for them on the 2000s….
Dale Earnhardt driving the 24 rainbow warrior car in 1998
Joe log and Joe gibbs
“Were they arguing about who had the most mediocre career at RPM” made me laugh a lot more than it should have
Bubba Wallace wishes he was mediocre
@@dewayneamerson1179he’s about as close as you can get for the ride he has… he gets SMOKED week-in week-out by Reddick
Aric actually won in the 43, well it was rained out but he still won
Medicore career in general tbh
I have no opinion about the altercation when I have no context on what led up to what happened between Darrell and Aric.
This is the correct take
Then what’s your point of commenting then? Just wanted to state the obvious?
@@toddmanger7194it’s mocking people who blame bubba immediately despite not knowing what happened
@@Loaf_ve you don’t need to know the facts. Bubba has a history of being a problem. Trouble always seems to end up in his lap. Even if Aric is completely in the wrong on this situation. Bubba yet again is involved. You can’t see that, then you’re delusional.
@@toddmanger7194There’s a lot of drivers with that but Bubba has been on a decent streak of not getting into it. So this take is pretty bland and I’ll have to ask the chef to add herbs and spices next time
Joe Gibbs meeting NASCAR parody
Aric could air grievances with old xfinity race when Denny flew in and replaced him. Then Bubba whom took over his RPM ride. Maybe this is just a way to promote he gets us sponsor with some type of life changing alteration with his life journey and finding purpose after resolving past demons
Too bad their is no video footage of it
I’m sure there is footage from inside security cameras,, but JGR most likely erased it.
You mentioned Carl Edwards…..Aric Almirola actually does kind of remind of Carl Edwards, where they are as sweet as can be in front of the camera, but they have a temper. A big one. Doesn’t help that Bubba Wallace also has similar anger management issues. I’m not surprised about this one bit.
Well, Bubba Smollett is a racist liar in the protected class, Eric is the opposite.
Cousin Carl is faker than snake oil lol never liked him
@@danielashworth5281 Finally, somepony who gets it…..he was my least favorite driver growing up.
The guy wearing a He Get Us hat starting a fight is funny! He was just flipping tables like Jesus!!
He gets us = hippy Jesus/worldly Jesus
Just like Ty Gibbs
@@iverson51492 it was a joke!!
Religious people are almost always the first to get angry, act out, or take advantage of people and enjoy making excuses and blaming others later in my experience.
Aric was probably speaking truth and that’s why he was considered the instigator and Bubba got mad!
Gibbs suspended their own driver. That should tell you a lot. They could’ve gotten Denny to punish Bubba but they didn’t.
Everyone thinking it’s a fist fight when “physical altercation” can be (and usually is) as minor as a gentle shove. Whatever happened was probably way lamer than everyone automatically assumes
If there is touching it is physical, otherwise it’s emotional.
All true but I can’t see JGR suspending their own driver indefinitely over a gentle shove. Coach has had players beat the crap out of each other in practice before and they didn’t even get fined.
0:00 I agree with that 100% Eric, when I’m kinda angry, I take a ten mile bike ride.
Probably just finally got tired of Bubble’s running his fat mouth.
I have a problem with the whole situation at the Talladega racetrack over the noose. It was thoroughly investigated and determined they were there from the previous fall race and are used to either open or help close the garage doors. Continually saying they are a noose after those facts just makes him look like a fool.
Okay?!? It’s been over 3 years, it’s fine to have a problem with it but don’t hold it over his head like that
A. Bubba’s crew member found the noose, and reported it. Nascar mishandled the situation, obviously.
B. Bubba literally made a post about it afterwards saying he was glad it wasn’t what they thought it was. Where has he ever said that it was actually a noose out of ill intent? Or are we just saying things we wish were true?
And there’s the problem jusse smollet knew those door pulls were just that but instead of coming to the rescue of his sport and employer he pushed the narrative
And just like that I instantly became an Almirola fan.
Comment of the day award for sure. I’m sorry, but Wallace NOT the instigator in this closed to the public incident, nope, not buying that.
@@pjh1776 Aww I’m comment of the day.
The fact this whole thing was deliberately silenced and purposely hidden from public should tell us everything we need to know about who’s the root cause….
No..
Gibbs said Aric instigated things. Not Bubba. And Aric drives for Gibbs and Bubba doesn’t. They had every incentive to say Bubba instigated it and didn’t which should say something
Imagine Taylor Gray, Ryan Truex, Sheldon Creed, and Chandler Smith just sitting in the back watching this go down lol
Nah, Taylor would’ve been on his phone lmao.
