Video of the major crash has been going viral on social media on Sunday evening. Wallace ended up getting spun out by Bowman late in the Cup Series race. NASCAR fans immediately took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to take sides. "48 did nothing wrong," one fan wrote. "Bubba is a horrible driver! I called the second wreck too! So predictable!!" one fan added. "Whose @BubbaWallace going to blame the second time? Get this clown off the track before he hurts someone!" one fan added. Advertisement "Bowman was way faster. Instead of letting him go once Bowman passed him, Bubba roughed him up. Then tried to clear himself lol. Bowman was nice to him," one fan added. "This is the 3rd time Bowman has cleaned Bubba out at a road course. 2nd straight year at this place," one fan added. "Bowman did the right thing by dumping him. Bubba knew Alex had the faster car and wants to drive like an idiot and not just let him by," one fan added. "Bubba brought that on himself," one fan added.

The NASCAR Cup Series arrived at the Chicago Street Course, producing expected chaos. Michael McDowell won Stage 1 while Ryan Blaney won Stage 2; however, neither driver was up front when it mattered the most at the end of the day. Instead, it was a Trackhouse Racing driver who swept the weekend in the Windy City. Shane van Gisbergen and the No. 88 team for Trackhouse Racing won the Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course, earning their second victory of the 2025 Cup Series season. Van Gisbergen flipped the stages and maintained the lead as the fastest car after McDowell's mechanical issues in Stage 2. The driver of the No. 88 car now has two road course victories in 2025, putting him fifth in the playoff standings with seven races left. Van Gisbergen has already established himself as one of the greatest NASCAR road course drivers of all time, and another win at the Chicago Street Course only validates his dominance.
