Everyone wants to make it to the Top 10 list unless it’s about the Top 10 Most Hated NASCAR Drivers of 2022. Because honestly, fighting all the negativity is extremely difficult. But what happens when these drivers see that they are the most hated people in the sport?

Recently, writer and journalist Jenna Fryer posted a list of the Top 10 Most Hated NASCAR Drivers of 2022 on her Twitter account. But just like some other Twitter users, Fryer could not wrap her brain around the names in the list. Furthermore, she couldn’t relate to hate against certain drivers. And most of all, she could not understand why Chase Elliott or Ross Chastain were not mentioned.

Topping the list was 23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace, followed by Cody Ware and Ty Dillon. And reacting to the standings on the list, Justin Haley, who made it to the fifth position, retweeted Fryer’s image with a sarcastic caption.

Following Haley’s post, Cole Custer, who was just behind Haley on the list, posted another funny one-liner. Taking the list in stride, Custer warned Haley that he was coming for him soon.

And how could Cody Ware not be a part of the banter? The Rick Ware Racing driver was the second most hated driver on the list. And hence, he took it upon himself to educate Haley and Custer about his and Bubba Wallace’s position on the list. But of course, followed by a sassy tweet!

Apart from that, Haley also replied to a fan’s tweet who couldn’t believe his favorite driver made it to this list. And Cody Ware followed suit.

Well, although everyone missed Bubba Wallace in the banter, Freddie Kraft took it upon himself to entertain the audience. Wallace’s spotter Kraft retweeted the list with a witty caption showcasing that it was wise to steer away clear from such opinions.
