23XI Racing’s Kurt Busch won’t be making it to the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs this year. The 2004 champion is currently fighting concussion-like symptoms, and due to his medical condition, his teammate Bubba Wallace will represent 23XI by driving Busch’s #45.

Around a week ago, 23XI Racing withdrew Busch’s waiver to compete in the NASCAR Cup Series. The team instead announced that Bubba Wallace will complete the season in the #45 this year. Swapping his #23 Toyota for #45, Wallace will make his debut with #45 at Sunday’s Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington.
Unsurprisingly, political commentator and author Nick Adams, known for his inclination toward former US President Donald Trump, grabbed this opportunity to criticize Wallace. The writer mocked Wallace for ditching his #23 car. Calling Bubba Wallace a ‘loser,’ Adams went on to say ‘Donald Trump is a winner’.
Bubba Wallace only has 1 win in his last 176 races, which explains why he’s ditching the #23 car in favor of #45. It’s simple, Bubba Wallace is a loser and Donald Trump is a winner. Bubba knows he isn’t talented enough to win and needs to embrace the victorious legacy of #45.
The 23XI driver’s fans took it upon themselves to defend their own.
NASCAR fans react to Nick Adams’ tweet
Criticizing Adams for throwing in his unwarranted remarks, Wallace fans could not understand why the author is so “obsessed” with the driver and called out Adams for not understanding what he was talking about.
Don’t you have like a job ? Do something , I see your good at speaking 💩 Must be your best Talent…Sad man that you support that is an evil individual.
I thought I followed #NASCAR pretty closely. What # is Donald Trump's car and what races did he win this year? (We are talking about NASCAR, right?)
Nick, Do you know the difference between a drivers championship, owners championship and the manufacturers championship? How points are awarded for each? What was the last race you attended in person?
So, you want to replace Bubba with trump? Is that what you mean? Son...
Your obsession with this guy is questionable....
You should probably delete your account
You really have no idea how any of this actually works. Owners move drivers around to suit their interests. They actually swap Owners Points between cars. Kurt can't race, 23xi wants that Owners Championship and THEY decided that Bubba was their best chance to get it.
Furious by Adam’s remarks, a few fans also commented on Donald Trump. They took this opportunity to point out that like Wallace, Trump had his own failures.
That's Trump who lost the House, the Senate and the Presidency???
Yeah he is a really winner
Trump lost. He wasn’t victorious at all. Now he’s going to jail. Who on earth would want to attach themselves to that
However, this is not the first time Adams has targeted Wallace. His hateful comments against the NASCAR Cup Series driver have been a regular affair for the past few years.
What is it between Bubba Wallace, Nick Adams, and Donald Trump
It all began in 2020 when Trump called out Bubba Wallace for spreading a ‘hoax.’ In June 2020, a noose was found hanging in the 23XI driver’s garage at the Talladega Superspeedway.
Following the incident, Trump claimed that the ‘whole thing was a hoax’ through his official twitter account. He wrote, “Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!”

Although his tweet was suspended by Twitter, Bubba Wallace replied to it with his #lovewins post.
To the next generation and little ones following my foot steps.. #LoveWins
Since then, Trump’s self-proclaimed favorite author has continued to comment on Wallace’s races and life. Leaving negative comments against the driver has become the norm for the ‘bestselling author.’ However, Bubba Wallace fans have always supported their favorite driver against Adams.
