NASCAR weekend

I lost count of all the Let's Go Brandon and Don't Blame Me flags on RVs.

I'm sure they'll be saving their loudest boos for Bubba Wallace. But totally because he's "unAmerican and hates police".

Im sure its just a backstory nascar is just like wrassling, no?

Theres lots of shitty racist obnoxious fans. I remember Juan Pablo Montoya getting tons of boos back in his day too.

I gotta say though, Bubba being on Jordans team is making a difference. When I went to COTA this year, I saw more black fans than Ive ever seen before. Obviously Austin is a pretty liberal town with lots of young adults attending the race, but it gave me some hope for the future.

At this point, I truly don't know if these people actually realize they're putting politics in sports. This is a lifestyle, a religion for a lot of these wackos.

Yeah it depends. I've heard a lot of stories from more "southern" tracks of people getting harassed for wearing a Bubba shirt or being black, gay, whatever.

NASCAR and MAGA go hand in hand due to the sport's roots being in the deep south
