FOX Cut Bubba Wallace's Complaint From His Interview Sunday

Bubba Wallace wasn't happy with his wait time while being interviewed by FOX's Jamie Little on Sunday.

The 23XI Racing driver was involved in a huge wreck that ended his day at the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega. Wallace, who's had some tough finishes this year while his teammate, Tyler Reddick, has racked up five wins, was waiting to be interviewed by FOX's NASCAR reporter.

He wasn't happy with how long he had to wait to appear on-air.

"Well I dozed off waiting on you so long," Wallace could be heard saying.

Little responded: "There was a lot to do."

However, when FOX aired the interview on its social media channels, it opted to cut Wallace's complaint from the video.

"Wallace initially placed the blame on Chastain for the crash on the team radio, saying: 'They wrecked us.' However in his interview with Little, Wallace took responsibility for the crash which was the complete opposite to what he told his team on the radio," The Express reported.

Wallace took responsibility for the big crash.

"Nothing to show for in the first stage, obviously, just trying to figure out the strategy stuff," Wallace told Little. "Man, just hate it. Hate it for Xfinity, hate it for our team. Don't want to have any DNFs. We have two now.

"Just a bummer. But we have to figure out how to be pushed better, so I take responsibility on that. And we'll have a good debrief and figure out what we can do to make our Toyotas a little bit better being pushed and maybe not have that happen."

Wallace will look to do better next week.
