Bubba Wallace and controversies at times seem two sides of the same coin. As one of NASCAR’s most hated drivers, Wallace is usually met with constant booing from fans. A menace to fellow drivers, he is better known for creating headlines with his on-track antics. Although Wallace is a promising driver, he probably has more haters than fans.

As luck would have it, the No.23 Toyota driver is again at the center stage. But this time, it is something quite unexpected. So much so that you won’t be able to guess it in a million years.

The reason Wallace has become the talk of the town recently is because of a list put out by NASCAR, which safe to say has managed to irk the fans.

What Is on the Bubba Wallace – NASCAR List That Is Making the Fans Angry?

The folks at NASCAR on NBC recently asked the leading AI program, ChatGPT, to come up with the ultimate NASCAR driver characteristics. The initiative was undertaken to highlight what ingredients from various NASCAR drivers, old and new, would sum up a driver with the perfect rating.

ChatGPT’s answer included veteran driver Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick along with fan favorite Kyle Larson.

The list, although star-studded, came under fire from fans who were not pleased with ChatGPT’s results. Bubba Wallace was the AI’s choice for something quite shocking, i.e. fan appeal, and naturally that didn’t sit well with the fans.

They expressed their displeasure, commenting, “Bubbles for “fan appeal”? Chat GPT ain’t got it all figured out yet.

“Love Bubba, but why is he in fan appeal? You picked the guy that some people love and others unironically wish to murder.”

Here are some more funny fan comments.

“The most hated driver on fan appeal lol”

“While I do not understand the constant hate on Bubba, I do not think his fan appeal is gonna cut it. Chase is far better for fan appeal (the ratings while he’s been out make that obvious). The rest are mostly right.”

“BUBBA WITH FAN APPEAL GOT ME ROLLING. I love bubba, but we all know that ain’t it.”

“bubba wallace fan appeal???? Have yall not heard the boos when he is announced?”

“Ain’t no way y’all put the most hated driver in the sport up there for fan appeal.”
