[Repeat Offender]

I have two guesses:

1. Hoax by Wallace.

2. Hoax by upper levels of NASCAR with Wallace's consent and assistance because SJW virtue signaling isn't playing well on Not Actually Stock CAR's internals......

Either way it boils down to trying to garner support and ratings through sympathy and outrage.

I am guessing that #2 is the correct reason.

Nascar is starting to notice that Americans are not watching their show anymore.

Hoax by Wallace.

2. Hoax by upper levels of NASCAR with Wallace’s consent

OR OUTSIDE RACE BAITER like bam.
