Aric Almirola is set to drive for Joe Gibbs Racing next month at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, ending an absence for the last couple of months that reportedly included a team-issued suspension for an altercation with Bubba Wallace. The Athletic reported Thursday, citing industry sources, that Almirola was in an altercation with Wallace at a competition meeting that included 23XI Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing drivers as part of their Toyota alliance.
Wallace, for his part, denied to FOX Sports that it happened when asked on May 25th as he was about to leave the room where drivers did their required weekly media availability with reporters. 'Who said that?' Wallace told FOX Sports when asked. When told that was the rumor, Wallace responded: 'Is that right?' When indicated that could be why Almirola was not in the car, Wallace responded: 'No, we've had our disagreements before, but damn, that's crazy.
