Bubba Wallace wasn’t happy with Joey Logano after the end of Stage 1 in Sunday’s Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Wallace was running 10th going into the final lap of the stage. Logano got loose under him and sent Wallace up the racetrack. Wallace felt he got used up and didn’t appreciate it.

“Let’s see if we can get used up any f***ing more,” Wallace said over his radio.

Wallace also appeared to take issue with Austin Cindric earlier in Stage 1. Coming off Turn 2, Wallace went to clear Cindric up top. Cindric, however, blocked him off and the two raced side-by-side down the backstretch. Wallace gave Cindric a bump to show his displeasure.

“He’s frustrated,” Kevin Harvick said on the FOX broadcast. “That’s what happens at this racetrack. You get extremely frustrated with a guy that’s right up against the wall, riding on your quarter panel when you’re trying to finish the pass. Drivers get frustrated. Bubba Wallace was not happy with Austin Cindric right there.”

Bubba Wallace searching for better results

Wallace is clearly frustrated, as his 2025 season hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts. The 23XI Racing driver finished ninth at Atlanta but has four finishes of 20th or worse.

But fortunately for Wallace, there’s still plenty of race left. And entering Stage 3, Wallace is set to fire off fourth. His No. 23 Toyota has speed, but others such as Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin do as well and will be difficult to pass. Even if Wallace doesn’t get to Victory Lane, securing a top 10 finish would be a step in the right direction.
