Bubba Wallace is by far, (arguably) the most hated driver in NASCAR today. The amount of criticism, at times unwarranted, the 23XI Racing driver gets on a regular basis is truly insane.
So it’s no surprise that he didn’t find the criticism his peers, specifically Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, and Kevin Harvick received, to be amateurish.
The thing is, NASCAR recently made its own version of a ‘Mean Tweets’ video in which the former Team Penske duo and the Stewart-Haas Racing driver read the ‘mean’ tweets that are directed against them.

And it was on that video that Wallace replied, “Weak. Lemme read some of mine😬😬😬.”

Bubba Wallace on the routine criticism of his only NASCAR win
Ahead of the race at Talladega, Bubba Wallace had spoken about how his haters keep mentioning his Talladega win from 2021 that came with a key, deciding element. And that is the element of rain, and how it helped ‘him’ and him only.
“There’s been plenty of instances where those have happened, and teams have capitalized on it,” Wallace said about races being decided during circumstances of rain.

“The people that aren’t fans of yours and are just going to continue to carry that to the grave that it was rigged, or we only won because it rained. All of the 40 drivers in the field knew it was going to rain. Why didn’t they win?”
Even though the #23 driver insisted that one can’t spend too much time on such hate, he revealed that he does go back and reads the comments.

“Every post that I click on there—I just go back and read the comments because it’s like ugh, no, still dumbasses today,” he added.
