OPINION: Bubba Wallace recently claimed that a “noose” was placed in his garage after the George Floyd killing. NASCAR stood behind him, but it was later revealed that the noose was actually a garage pull.
Bubba subsequently went on ABC’s “The View” and said anyone who questioned his story was “small-minded.” And then, he got into a Twitter spat with President Trump, who told him he should apologize to the fans–something he did not do.
On Wednesday at the Bristol Motor Speedway Bubba was booed by fans when his car was announced.
“Bubba Wallace was also booed when he was introduced, and many cheered when he crashed….”
Bubba Wallace was also booed when he was introduced, and many cheered when he crashed. NASCAR still has a lot of work to do to back up its position. The group Justice 4 Diversity held signs along Speedway Blvd. after the race.
