In a week where Bubba Wallace wore an"I Can't Breathe" T-shirt before an event and said racetracks shouldn't allow Confederate flags, the NASCAR driver will make another bold move Wednesday by racing a car with a Black Lives Matter paint scheme.

"I think by running this branding on our car, putting the hashtag out there, bringing more awareness to it, it lines up with the videos that we had put out as NASCAR," Wallace, the first full-time African American driver in the Cup Series since 1971, said."Listening and learning. Educating ourselves. So people will look up what this hashtag means. And hopefully get a better understanding.

NASCAR 1 .. Good move petty.. your support to destroy the police is working !!!

🤮

So much racism in the world today.

How does banning the Confederate flag stop cops from killing Black men?

Here is some awareness for you, and directly related to the liberal media’s front end coverage of the George Floyd tragedy. Instead of covering the individuals involved, you stoked the fires of racism causing many more deaths.

Here is JOEBIDEN introducing a white man in black face as Michael Jackson. Everything you believe in and stand for is a lie

Tim Walz's no-limits abortion record

People that work for CNN r 200% liars.

I'd say the armed white leftists in Seattle that have taken over downtown has raised awareness that dems manipulate black causes and black people and into doing their bidding. CNN doesn't report about Seattle tho. Just like it doesn't report Don Lemons sexual harassment lawsuit.

Support the actions taken by NASCAR

This is Rusty Wallace’s son right?

Bubba Wallace is opening another door and we shall give NASCAR a look because of Mr. Wallace! “Let’s Ride”

Go bubba!!!!BlackLivesMattter

SCREW NASTY CAR! CRACK LIVES MATTER, TOO! EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT THESE COMMIES!!

Good job Bubba. He's not scared.

theerkj I hope the loser confederate traitors cry hard.

I like the way he thinks!

He messed up when he went on the most racist show on cable donlemon. If he really wanted to help he wouldn’t have went on a show that lies daily about America. donlemon hates America & hates NASCAR & really hate realDonaldTrump

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

If nascar isn't supposed to political then why do they wave the confederate flag so prominently? If I recall, the confederacy was pretty political....

If you know anything about the South and their love of NASCAR, this is a very big deal. Kudos to Bubba Wallace.

Fuck bubba wallace

I love his mask too!!

I wonder how his competitors feel about this🙄

Y'all trumpsters are clearly racist and

So do white lives and Cops lives. More blacks have been killed by blacks than by whites, including cops! Check the stats! 😡

But if this country is systemically racist, how does he get to do these things. Either it is or it isn't, make up your mind CNN.

Hope he wins bigly!!

This is the very first NASCAR race I’ve ever had any interest in. And it’s more so to see the racists lose their GD minds.

I hope other drivers get behind him. Or it might be time to turn Nascar off.

NASCAR .BubbaWallace It's been a while but, I might just have to CopThat 1/24 Diecast BlackLivesMatter car.

Wow...that's going to be interesting.

To say black lives matter is racist.all lives matter not just black people.

LesBreeding1

Don’t know much about racing, but I know enough to say this about Bubba - Wow.

I’ll not watch another race. George Floyd held a loaded gun to a pregnant lady’s belly

If he wins I’ll back police defunding. 😂

Anybody that gives 💰 to the BLM agenda are destroying black lives. This is Anti-black supremacy taking place BoycottNascar NASCAR

He should wear a shirt that says “I can’t drive” since he’s perpetuating the official sport of white supremacy, NASCAR

Democrat Party Now Wants No Police Democrat Party Is Now Dead Better Them Than You! Protect Your Family!! Vote Trump & Republican on Nov. 3rd

Bubba needs to STFU and drive. Maybe he is too used to going left all the time...

shouldn't allow?

I’m now a Bubba Watson fan ✊🏿🙏🏾

I just became a NASCAR fan. Where can I buy BubbaWallace gear

My ❤️& prayers go out to the families who lost innocent sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and grandparents due to the heinous acts of those who murdered them in the name of Justice for George Floyd. Truth!!

NASCAR=Non Athletic Sports Centered Around Rednecks.

That fixes everything

So much for Bubba's career

hahahahaha... panderer...

We will see NASCAR is receptive.

I don't watch NASCAR, but Bubba Wallace is my favorite driver ever!

See those all of the time now on trucks. Hatred of black people is what they all have in common I watched this interview. GOOD JOB Bubba. I love cars (since age 4, or 72 years). I admire race car drivers of every stripe. I dislike the NASCAR intolerance of blacks, browns, gays and non-rednecks. There IS a world outside Charlotte.
