The rain had also washed away Saturday’s Pole Qualifying for the Cup Series and all of Friday’s scheduled on-track activity. Following this the starting lineup was set according to the NASCAR Rule Book’s inclement weather procedures, putting Kyle Busch, last week’s winner at Talladega Superspeedway, in the No. 1 starting spot.

Fans who were eagerly awaiting the race were left disappointed, with many taking to social media to express their frustration. And jumping onto the bandwagon to express his disappointment was #23 driver, Bubba Wallace.

In a reel shared on Instagram, Wallace can be seen in full racing gear, with his head replaced by Beetlejuice’s head, captioned with “Just hangin’ around.”
