Bubba Wallace became just the second Black driver to win at NASCAR's top Cup Series level when rain stopped Monday's playoff race at Talladega Superspeedway.

All for what turned out to be a hoax.
At the time I was negotiating with a track to spend lots of money for my employer to exhibit in the fan zone.
Not any more.
Ok, NASCAR fans...
I’ve attended 1 Richmond short track NASCAR race, not really a fan.
So...Was this rain stoppage legit? It sure looks curiously suspect to me.
Was it a legitimate stoppage, or just a way to show how woke NASCAR is?
