Wallace took to Twitter to call himself out as he wrote – “My road course finishes look like a shitty roulette table.” 

However, not everyone shared his opinion of himself, certainly not his sponsor, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, who replied to his tweet with a reassuring message. We were still proud to be your sponsor today, @BubbaWallace. Appreciate how much you care,” their reply read.

To this, SiriusXM decided to use a quote from the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr along with another message of strength and belief for the 23XI Racing driver.

“Everyone deserves a chance to prove what they can do. We believe in @BubbaWallace and want to see him reach his full potential,” their reply read.
