Bubba Wallace Gets Attacked By NASCAR Community Over Kyle Rittenhouse Take

NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace is currently the only African-American driver in the sport.

And he’s often using his platform to raise awareness and send the right messages. So it was no surprise that Wallace joined the droves of professional athletes to voice their concerns after Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges.

Ha, let the boy be black and it would’ve been life…hell he would’ve had his life taken before the bullshit trial.. sad

Shortly after Bubba Wallace put his opinion on the web, he was attacked by NASCAR fans all over the country.

Oh, the NASCAR hoax guy with the garage pulley is weighing in… adorable.

You just lost a fan. Didn't realize you played the race card so much

Remember when you lied about a noose in your garage?

Dude. As a longtime #NASCAR guy and someone who initially put myself out there for you when things went down last year, you need to stop sounding like Joy Reid and Nikole Hannah-Jones and get your facts right.

I know the #NASCAR suits and journos will back you, but it's wrong.

Seriously @NASCAR ? This is acceptable? How did any of it have to do with race? I usually defend @BubbaWallace but you’ve overstepped here man. That’s absurd and a bad look.

Bubba Wallace has not responded to any of the people who have commented on his post. But it’s clear that he’s going to continue to share his beliefs going forward.

Wallace won his first race as a member of Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin’s team last season.
