“You Can’t Help DARFs” – Conceited Bubba Wallace Claps Back at Disbelievers as Michael Jordan’s Star Changes Playoff Narrative

Bubba Wallace is one of the most polarizing figures in NASCAR today and as a result, there is a large number of people that do not like the 23XI Racing driver. Despite the 2023 season being a transformative one for the 29-year-old, there are many who still doubt his skills behind the wheel. But Wallace is an outspoken individual and after the events of Saturday, he wasn’t going to shy away from his haters.

Wallace bagged an incredible pole position on Saturday for the first round of 12 race of the 2023 Cup Series season in Texas. It was an incredible moment for Bubba Wallace, who had a point to prove after being consistently outperformed by his teammate Tyler Reddick in the round of 16.

Michael Jordan’s outspoken star slams haters after Texas success

After he made his mark and slapped his car to the front of the pack, Wallace took a moment to share a few words with the people who do not consider him to be a good driver, partly because of how he is as a person. Michael Jordan‘s star is brash, outspoken, and unapologetic, traits that are reflected in his racing style when he finds himself in tough situations. But it is these traits that also make him very difficult to like for a neutral fan.

Over the years, the 23XI Racing driver has made himself a lot of haters whose judgment of him is clouded by their feelings towards him. Bubba Wallace is well aware of this and he still continues to push their buttons because, well, he just likes to prove his doubters wrong, and that is exactly what he did in Texas.

After bagging pole position, according to Sportsnaut, the 29-year-old said, “We keep outkicking the goal posts and they keep moving it. That’s fine. We’ll make it work. You can’t help DARFs.”

What Wallace meant was every time he achieved something on the racetrack, these “DARFs” (dumba** race fans) would bring up something else and question his ability to achieve that. For example, this season, Bubba Wallace found himself in a situation where his playoff chances were in jeopardy.

A number of fans did not believe in Wallace to make it through to the round of 16 but he did it in the final regular season race. In the round of 16, he was slated by many to be one of the first drivers to be eliminated. But he made it into the round of 12. People then turned their attention to Wallace’s teammate Tyler Reddick who was one of the best performers in the round of 16, winning the race in Kansas.
