NASCAR: Bubba Wallace Gives Critics The Bird After Finishing 2nd
On Saturday, Wallace excited his haters in a post-race interview when he was asked about being booed by his critics.
Bubba responded by calling them judgmental and bragging about his payday … money talks.
“Hey, as long as you continue to live your life, judging a book by its cover, that’s who you are,” Wallace said about his critics.
“Don’t change it up for anybody else. That’s the biggest thing. That’s fine. I mean I finished 5th. I got a good payday. I’m good,” Wallace added.
On Sunday night, after another evening of boos amid getting schooled by Kyle Larson, Bubba Wallace delivered a Bubba Wallace moment.
On the mic after finishing second — behind Kyle Larson — in the All-Star Race, Wallace waved his middle finger at the camera.
Bubba Wallace knew it would piss people off. And it did.
Just after Wallace took the checkered flag and finished as runner-up to Kyle Larson in the $1 million-to-the-winner event at North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway, someone keyed into his No. 23 23XI Racing team radio channel with a derogatory message.
“Go back to where you came from you a******. You’re not wanted in NASCAR,” the person said.
