They're not gonna they're doing anything to Bubba!! he's the token driver.
Sad not very good one either!!!
Bubba Wallace reminds me of Draymond Green.
“I’m lov’n it” has a whole new meaning when that #23 is spun or passed for a position … McDonalds’ on the outside & the clown behind the wheel !
Bubba always has a problem…it's called BUBBA !! lol
He learns from his owner!!! Denny crybaby Hamlin.
Bubba Smollett nascars poster child, if it wasn't for the sponsorship money and Asscar's diversity he would have been gone alone it ago
Bubs needs a semester in anger management. Dude has serious issues…
Kenny buddy, you can say what you want. Bubba is a problem. He’s always have some issue with someone.
It was Jr and Robby Gordon at Bristol 2002
Bubba Wallace is so
Lucky that he is getting this opportunity, good race cars good team
Great sponsors. But
A terrible sport. He's lucky MJ is the owner of his team or he wouldn't Be driving in
NASCAR. I'm sure nobody else would have hired him.
Bubba should be fined and have points deducted
bubbles threw water in the face of an exhausted Bowman back in 2019 at the roval. I remember thinking then " hum, imagine if the roles were reversed?". Still wondering the same thing now. Double standards can't be ignored.
For those who have issues with Bubba Wallace, I can understand. Keep this in mind, and I know you won’t, go back through multiple races this season where he was as a victim of others who lost control of their cars and cost him valuable points in the series. Which is where he is now. And don’t use SVG as an example of how you handle a DNF, caused by another driver, because it has only happened to him once. Bubba still drove his way back to a top 15 finish after being back in 30 something. And yes NASCAR should fine him.
Bubba wouldn't last 10 minutes with dale sr.!!!
Buttba
Is a chump
He always think they r always doing crap on purpose
It is unfortunate that it happened.
Shouldn't be fined, could've done a whole lot more

Analysis: Alex Bowman, No. 48 crew scuttle speculation with long journey back to Chicago triumph – NASCAR
I think anger management classes would be good for Bubba Wallace. Look back at Tony Stewart. In the beginning of his cup career he was a mad man . But once he mellowed he became a seriously better driver . I'm not sure if Tony Stewart had anger management classes or not. That don't mean that he still didn't have a temper .
Martin Truex Jr in the 2018 roval race didn't got fined when spinning Jimmie Johnson at the end of the race
Race suspension would be better than a fine. He used the car as a weapon for his frustration! Doesn't maje a difference wether it's Bubba or not!
Those calling for Bubba to be fired or suspended should be calling for the same punishment to be applied to Chase since he did the same thing to Suarez. Denny didn't get fired or suspended when he went bumper to bumper during Bowman's Martinsville celebration. Just admit y'all hate Bubba because he's a black driver in a predominantly white sport. Get over it
the window net was down the bullshit stops, park bubba for a week plus cash fine & points
This is NOT the first time, or second, or third. When does it STOP? WHEN SOMEONE GETS HURT MAYBE. Bubba frequently gets away with various things. Is this behavior acceptable, or is there more to it? Is this the kind of example we want to set for our children? This was obtuse. Why would sponsors want this guy to show their brand? Why would his owners want this type of person there to destroy equipment after the race? Have him pay for the repairs on both vehicles and loose points, that would get his attention. What about anger management?
Bubba, and NASCAR, are the reason I stopped watching stock car sports after 50 years of support. Bubba is a pariah.
How many times is Bubba going to get mad and use violence? Punches drivers, intentionally using his vehicle to get even. Kyle Larson, Austin Dillon, etc the list goes on. Maybe this driver needs anger management and not penalties. Maybe look into another sport like MMA OR BKF
$50K at least
Poster Boy 😢 needs to be putnish for what he did. But NASCAR doesn't want to be accused of being racist . Can't stand Bubba ever since Rope Gate . PURE BULLSHIT !
