Bubba Wallace took some heat before he competed in the NASCAR All-Star Open, which was the race to qualify for the main event at Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday. AP Sports reporter Jenna Fryer covered the event and wrote on Twitter that fans booed Wallace when he was introduced. And when he crashed 17 laps into the race, the crowd began cheering.
"Bubba Wallace was also booed when he was introduced, and many cheered when he crashed," Fryer wrote. "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." After the ace, Wallace called out Michael McDowell for causing him to crash and lose out on a chance to win $1 million. "Just disrespect. When you get hooked the right rear into the wall - I don't even need to see a replay," Wallace said. "People say [he's] one of the nicest guys in the garage. Can't wait for the God-fearing text he's going to send me about preaching and praising respect. What a joke he is."
Odds are this won't be the last time Wallace will be booed this season. The reason fans are upset with Wallace likely has to do with the noose investigation. While at the Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR announced a noose was found in Wallace's garage stall, and it led to an investigation by the FBI. When the investigation ended, law enforcement determined the noose had been there since last year and that Wallace wasn't a victim of a hate crime. That led to fans attacking Wallace, claiming he made up the noose incident despite the fact he was not the person who made the claim.

I was surprised at the number of high level execs that were into a few seconds of 300 MPH cars flying down a quarter of a mile track and then had to use parachutes to stop them from crashing.
It was a new experience and we had a few trailers {enjoyment centers} in the pit next to the vehicle.
Food and libation and entertainment always makes for a relaxed customer/prospect/peddler scene.
I would think that the NASCAR fans are starting to get the same feeling that pro football fans have experienced.
When the pro sports owners take their base for granted and start to implement a plan that goes against their values, big trouble will follow.
NASCAR is approaching a pro-wrestling quandry: will it continue to be a sport and may the best driver win? Or will it turn into an entertainment franchise replete with Wacky Races” heroes and villains and a different “winner” every race?
(how the Left sees it)
“Well, this PROVES that Bubba was right all along, and that the people who go to these events are racist. Why else would they boo the only black man on the circuit?”
Only an arrogant asshole would use the American flag as a snot mask, in a NASCAR pit no less.
True, Joey Lagano is universally despised.
“I bet the same thing happened during the games in the Roman Coliseum.”
Human beings are always the same.
Not a lot of support among NASCAR fans for Bubba’s kind of crap.
Maybe he can get a more devoted fan base if he joins the NBA
“I think BLM and the entire “ I can’t breath “ movement have reached the end of most peoples tolerance .”
They’ll move on to something else now.
This guy obviously has never seen the old guard race, the guys with talent.
He wouldnt last one race with someone like Earnhardt, Waltrip, Wallace, Ervin etc wearing him out.
Agree.
Only the Leftist elites and the hard-core Marxists tolerate (and encourage) them.
Your run-of-the-mill leftist is afraid of them and wish they would just go away.
Pee on an electric fence and expect no consequences? Bubba is learning his lesson now and the rest of the Dim/BLM cadre are going to learn in November. There are consequences.
One way to start asymmetric warfare...WHO participated in the lie?
Tawana Brawley? - white boys
Chrystal Mangum? - Duke Lacrosse team
Michael Brown? - Cops - hands up don’t shoot
Jussie Smollet? - Trump supporters
Bubba Wallace? - Nascar - f’n rednecks
Barack Obama? - Bitter Clingers
and on, and on, and on...
Amplify the lie.
Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying.
Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength.
You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.

Racing is a gentleman’s sport.
Bubba doesn’t belong because he is a disrespectful a-hole who expects to be given his diversity wins instead of earning them like the other drivers.
No worries, Bubba Wallace will just take a page from Colon Kaepernick’s playbook - if he plays the victim card right, he can rake in corporate $$$$ money for life.
NASCAR doesn’t control the fans. LOL! They want to make it mandatory to “ cheer” Bubba? Good luck with that!
“When the flag drops, the b******t stops.”
Or at least it should.
The booing has nothing to do with his skin color.
It has everything to do with Wallace capitalizing on his skin color to affect competition. He got a free ride for several races with finishes well above his average.
Calling white NASCAR fans stupid didn’t help much either.
I’m surprised there were any fans to be booing in the first place. I guess white men love the abuse of being told what to think and do.
Huh?
