NASCAR fans booed driver Bubba Wallace when he was introduced at the qualifying event Thursday for the All-Star race and cheered by many after he crashed.
The black driver was caught up in the recent incident in which a rope "noose" was discovered in the racetrack garage to which he was assigned. He was outraged and generated support from other drivers, which was amplified by the protests of the death of George Floyd.
But the FBI, after sending more than a dozen agents to investigate, concluded the "noose" actually was a rope pull. They found there was no hate crime, because the rope had been there for months before Wallace arrived.
Wallace still has many defenders, but he apparently has lost some fan support
One Twitter user wrote: "I believe there needs to be separation between those who dislike Wallace because of his flag stance and those who dislike Wallace because of his arrogance, foul mouth and overall poor character. Not everyone who boos Wallace is a confederate flag supporter."

If Wallace would have just taken the results of the FBI investigation, said ‘my bad’ and moved on I don’t think any reasonable people would have a problem right now. Instead, he still tried to cling to a failed narrative. I guess because of the media attention?
You’ll notice in the Bubba intro video...stands were pretty empty. The COVID...or something.
Going to need 15 FBI agents to investigate the booing. (snark)
Yes considering they live in a country steeped in systemic racism.
Thanks you someone finally said it.
“And in addition he is so stupid he doesn’t know a noose from a garage pull rope”
And even more ridiculously, he NEVER EVEN SAW THE ‘NOOSE’ - drivers were not allowed in the garage area at that race.
His crew chief told him about it and it triggered him LOL
I’m sure he knew the difference. He just decided to be a Victim and get whatever psychologist points these types seem to crave.
Reap and sow.
I wonder what compelled him to open mouth and insert movement.
All he had to do was drive a race car and be a good spokesperson for sponsors and look what happened to him and NASCAR.
“They” take Danica out
And put a Karen in.
Welcome to the new NASCAR of France.
“He just pissed his driving career away, and of course we’re all racist”
WHAT career? He isn’t even a token Black, he’s a half-token.
Bubba and Kaepernick have freed up my Sunday afternoons.
Mrs. Vinnie says ‘Thank You’
BTW, Bubba isn’t the first Black driver in NASCAR.
Remember Willie Ribbs?
What career ?
The career he wished he had
Bubba Smollett is a lying @ss drama queen.
“It looks like a good number of the few people wore Confederate flag clothing.”
Now that is clever. I know Nascar has band flags oh, so that’s a good work around. Pretty funny actually.
There’s also a plane that has been flying over the NASCAR races with a big Confederate flag trailing behind it and “Defund NASCAR” behind the flag.
remember Wendell Scott? The first black driver to win a race.
People don’t like him because he’s Blackish, they don’t like him because he’s a whiny racist asshole!
