NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace suffered a very scary moment during a Sunday race.

Following the Folds of Honor Quiktrip 500 race, Wallace was doing a live interview when he appeared to lose any understanding of what was happening around him. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

His eyes glossed over and it appeared like he briefly fainted. You can watch the scary moment below.

Shortly afterwards, the cameras showed him being attended to, and they said he was doing better.

Wallace also tweeted Sunday night that he was “good” following the scary event.

Luckily, it sounds like Wallace quickly recovered. It was a hot day, and it looks like the temps just got to him.

Having said that, it’s always scary whenever someone appears to lose consciousness. It’s one of the scariest things that can happen to a person.

Hopefully, NASCAR can find a way to make the cars a little cooler or find a way to hydrate the racers better. Seems like something they should have the tech to handle.

The last thing the sport needs is players passing out.

We’re glad to see he rebounded and is safe! Hopefully, he never has to experience anything that scary ever again during a NASCAR race.
