Bubba Wallace hits back at a hater using his quirky tactics. Known for his outspoken and unapologetic attitude, Bubba Wallace never shies away from shutting down unfavorable conversations surrounding him. Now and then, NASCAR gets called out by the community for their reluctance to increase the horsepower, the diminishing interest of the sponsors, and whatnot.

However, amid scrutinizing NASCAR for irregularities in their social media efforts, an agitated fanatic dragged Bubba Wallace in his rant as he blamed the 23XI Racing driver for NASCAR’s impartial efforts towards off-season clashes. But Bubba Wallace isn’t among the patient ones.

With less than a month left until the preseason Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum drops the flag on February 5, the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) unveiled breakthrough news on X. Bubba Wallace and John Hunter Nemechek will debut at the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.

The season opener race on the asphalt of the Daytona International Speedway will flag off on January 26, where Wallace will pilot Smoog Racing’s #23 Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO, competing in the BMW M Endurance Challenge. The news was well received by the entire NASCAR community and seldom became the reason for a racing fanatic’s utter displeasure. But why?

Wallace’s hater was quick to notice that for events like the Chili Bowl, the visibility on NASCAR’s official social media handles wasn’t up to par. But when IMSA’s revelation concerning Wallace surfaced, the so-called crusader of justice took a direct jibe at the #23 driver and wrote, “Notice how nascar reposts this, but doesn’t repost anything about the chili bowl, which features 4 current cup drivers. Chase Briscoe, Ricky Stenhouse, JJ Yeley, and Kyle Larson. (As well as Jesse Love and probably even more nascar drivers). It’s bc bubba Wallace.

Now that Wallace has been directly scrutinized, he couldn’t possibly stay quiet, and that’s what happened. Within no time, Bubba Wallace catered to the baseless tweet of the hater, fired back with his simple yet brutal dig, and replied, “Who owns IMSA? I’ll wait…”

Surely, Wallace’s off-track rival was short on the requisite information. Had they known that IMSA is owned by NASCAR and not Bubba Wallace, the out-of-the-blue jibe at the 23XI Racing driver would’ve not even been initiated. But what’s done is done, and now the fans have come forward in support of Wallace.

This fan studied Wallace’s reply in detail, noticed the unexpected GIF, unfurled his thoughts, and commented, “Bubba really lil bro’d him I’m crying THATS MY GOAT”

Just like the above-mentioned fan looked closely at Wallace’s reply, this fan took charge to surf through the hater’s account and what he discovered was to be told, following which they wrote, “That dude’s page is filled with pessimism and negativity. He needs a happy meal or some”
