As the NASCAR season remains suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, the company and its drivers are trying to keep fans engaged and entertained through virtual means. We're now three weeks into the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, which essentially features a bunch of NASCAR drivers racing one another in a video game simulation, and we found out Sunday that these races can still drum up drama and controversy.
Bubba Wallace was one of the 32 drivers competing in the Food City Showdown at a virtual Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday and he undoubtedly had the worst day of anyone in the field. Not only did Wallace wreck during the 11th lap of the 150-lap race but he was so peeved by it that he wound up "rage-quitting" -- a popular gamer term for a player who gets so angry that they prematurely bow out of the competition.
Wallace's short fuse not only gave him a DQ/DNF in the virtual event but they also proved to have real-life consequences from a business standpoint. Shortly after the incident, Wallace took to Twitter to mock the blowback from his decision to rage-quit and, if it wasn't clear already, he made it known he wasn't taking any of this too seriously.
Unfortunately, one of Wallace's sponsors -- joint/muscle cream Blue-Emu -- didn't take too kindly to his flippant attitude and decided to pull their sponsorship.

Bubba Smollett was always a sh*t driver.
All the SOBs sponsors should immediately drop any and all sponsorships of Bubba Smollett after NOOSCARgate.
If Blue Emu pulls out, can LiMu Emu and Doug be far behind.
LOL—even in a video game, he’s a terrible driver.
BLM should sponsor him. Along with Kaperneck.
He won't.
though shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor...
God put a pretty high importance on that one...
Biden 2020 or George Soros will sponsor his ride. But his driving contract is up this year also.
And the FBI continues their incompetent march to humiliate the American people. The noose should have been solved by a 12 year old in 30 seconds. Bubba Smolliet, indeed.
Sounds gay......................
When the supposed crime was first announced, a number of us commented “hmmmmmmm” on this blog.
And I remember that evening 100% news 100% of the time, this was the lede. I really despise the press. In a manner that I’m at the point that I would stand by and watch a crowd totally pummel any mainstream reporter. Sorry, but enough is enough.
The only way to save NASCAR now is to have naked women pit crew. ... And free beer
Sponsorships? What about his seat? Now, no matter how poorly he continues to perform, Petty Enterprises won't be able to replace him without a $hitstorm from the Left. He just created job security for himself with noosegate.
NASCAR has lost all credibility with the handling of this hoax and farce.
They could give him the $1 million at bed bath and beyond was bragging about in an email
So you might want to add that racist outfit to your boycott list I unsubscribed from emails and told them why
>>He will lose all Sponsors! Let’s put it this way, he better lose all sponsorships!
With corporate America giving billions to BLM that won’t be the case.
But whoever steps in to sponsor his car should be noted and considered not a stock to invest in.
Defund the Left
Maybe he’s traumatized by the sight of a pull cord with a loop. He needs a participation trophy.

I only ever see hoaxes of “these crimes”. Has there ever been one in the last 5 years, 10 years, etc that was genuine and not a staged hoax? What is the ratio of fraud to genuine?
