🚨 NASCAR IN TURMOIL: Major Penalty SLAPPED on Shane van Gisbergen After Cheating Scandal Confirmed — Bubba Wallace Was Right All Along

The motorsport world is shaking to its core.

NASCAR has just dropped the hammer on Shane van Gisbergen following a bombshell investigation sparked by accusations from fellow driver Bubba Wallace, who claimed the New Zealand star used unauthorized modifications to gain an edge during the controversial Mexico City race.

🛑 The allegations? Confirmed.
NASCAR has issued a major penalty, citing “clear violation of technical regulations and sportsmanship standards.”

💣 Wallace’s Bold Accusation Sparks a Firestorm

After finishing behind van Gisbergen in a stunning upset at the Mexico City Grand Prix, Bubba Wallace took to the media with a now-infamous quote:

“You don’t blow by five top drivers like that without something fishy going on.”

At the time, critics slammed Wallace, accusing him of making excuses. But after a full-scale investigation, it turns out he wasn’t just blowing smoke — he blew the lid off a real scandal.

🔧 The Violation: “A Deliberate Competitive Manipulation”

According to NASCAR’s official findings, van Gisbergen’s car featured:

• Illegally modified aerodynamic components

• Unapproved tire pressure sensors

• Questionable data transmission systems

The modifications allegedly gave him a substantial downforce and telemetry advantage on the Mexico City track — enough to change the outcome of the race.

⛔ The Penalty:

• Van Gisbergen disqualified from the Mexico City race

• Loss of driver and team points

• $250,000 team fine

• Crew chief suspended for 4 races

• Probation through end of season
