With just 2 laps to go in the 400 lap race, Kyle Larson and Bubba Wallace were in a battle for 4th. Larson got loose off turn two. At the same time, Wallace tagged him in the bumper.
Larson was sent spinning through the infield grass. However, he never fully spun, saving his car and his position as the yellow flag came out.

In the Richmond incident, Larson only lost two positions with the spin. As the leaders hit the pit lane, Wallace had a very slow stop. Larson exited the pit lane in 4th.
In overtime, Martin Truex Jr and Kyle Larson made contact several times. After the finish, Truex Jr ran into the door of Larson in frustration.
Post-race conversation

Wallace: “I know, it netted you and karma’s a ******* *****, it caught up to me. Truly sorry about that.”
Larson: “It’s all good.”

Bubba Wallace comments on the incident with Kyle Larson
“Got loose and over-corrected into him,” Bubba Wallace told Bob Pockrass after the race.
“They netted better. Karma’s a real thing. It cost us. I was really content with 5th.”
“I just got loose and over-corrected into him, I apologize to the No. 5 team. Not intentional by all means. Karma is quick in this sport, for sure.”
A question was about to be asked about Wallace bringing out a caution. Then, his team owner Denny Hamlin grabbing the win.
“That’s because you’re saying that Bob. Stop making headlines.”

Kyle Larson comments
“He wasn’t being intentional. And if it was intentional, it was to help his race out,” Larson stated.
“Obviously, I would be pissed off right now if I had fully spun and finishes in the twenties. But, like he said, I had some good karma today and he had the bad karma.”
“I was a little loose, then I got finished off there,” Larson stated of the incident with Bubba Wallace to Fox Sports.
