I don’t have a problem with Bubba, but to call him a rising star is beyond a stretch! In 4 years in the cup series he has 0 wins in 98 starts. He’s led 24 laps out of 25,542 run. Avg finish is 23rd. I don’t have a problem with the guy, but he’s not a rising star.
Riding start. Wtf. He’s been in nascar about 5 years no wins and less then 10 top 10 finishes. He’s as much of a rising star as your writer is a future Pulitzer winner for stories like this
So much for buying Columbia
Good for him!!👏👏👏🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
NASCAR is a sport for those worshiping the flag of sedition and treason
Hahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Are freaking kidding me? “Rising Star?” Do you do any research before you write nonsense? He is rising at anything. His career average is dog 💩. He is the Jussie Smolett of NASCAR. He’s a 🤡🤡🤡 and a 💩 driver. We to go media. Embarrass yourself again.
Bubba Smollett is a fraudulent character. He should loot some stuff for the reparations festival in Chicago! He'll just get a solid 'No' bubb, bad boy and then a massive contract by the kneel feels mob.
Lol
Wokeness is the secret to success!!
Columbia sucks
Rising star? Hardly... He’s a bum only useful when you need to find a low owned nobody on DraftKings 🤷🏽♂️
Rising star? Cuz he faked a hate crime? He's never finished in the top 25 lol
Rising star or just most publicized racer right now for being spooked by a garage door pull?
