Fox News contributor and Fox Nation host Lawrence Jones sat down with NASCAR's Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace Jr. to talk about a series of controversies that have ensnared him, his sport, and the country since the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Wallace, 26 years old and the only active Black driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, has been an outspoken figure in recent weeks. Following Floyd's death, he painted his No. 43 car black and displayed the phrases "Black Lives Matter" and "Compassion, love and understanding."
"People see the organization Black Lives Matter and they have their criticism of the organization," said Jones, when they spoke on June 30 in a special episode of "One Nation with Lawrence Jones" on Fox Nation.

"By drivers — for sure. By the simple-minded fans — no," said Wallace. "You're never gonna get that from them."
. By the simple-minded fans — no,”

Well there goes that fan base
I found a noose in *my* garage today...but found it was just the string that turns the light on and off.
i guess the only sponsors he will get are BLM, uncle ben’s, aunt jemima syrup and cream of wheat.
I think that that’s Black Lives Matter-speak for deplorable bitter clingers.
The simple minded fans and their simple minded dollars are abandoning Nascar in droves. They should also take note of who is sponsoring Bubba and boycott them since they also have no need for simple minded customers.
Bubba is a Racist.
Insulting your customer is such a savvy business strategy.
Those simple minded people who knew this was hoax are the same ones that have figured out Althea Bernstein is a hoax.
At this point I think most feel it isn’t true. Very few people are talking about it
Whoa! NOW you've gone and done it, Bubba. You just cancelled yourself. Be looking for BLM "protestors" to topple his car before the next race.
I gave up on NFL a couple years ago and NASCAR a couple weeks ago....... after 50+ years as a loyal fan.
“...By the simple-minded fans — no,” said Wallace.
Oh, that will really help heal everything...
Petty...As good a person as you’ve been for years, you really need to have a heart to heart talk with your driver...
He is also a crap driver!! AND hs is too stupid to know when to shut his yap!!
People feel safe to tell others - whites - what they really think of them. They feel like they are totally protected from consequences now. This moment will pass but their comments will be remembered. Once you call your fans simplminded they aren’t buying your crap, they aren’t supporting your sponsors, they aren’t rooting for you, and the people who pay you are going to get real tired of getting their butts kicked over you and your hate filled mouth.
Let’s start a List of that and then forward it to our friends and have them pass it on
Or simple minded drivers.
He's a unique entity in NASCAR, just like Danica Patrick was, and he's got essentially the same stats that she did.
The difference is that Wallace races for a single team owner (Richard Petty Motorsports), while Patrick had the benefit of a 4-team organization + 1 Xfinity Cup team (Stewart-Haas Racing).

Has he ever won a race? I see his car has black lives matter and wears a shirt saying I can’t breathe
