Bubba is currently the only black driver on the NASCAR grid. He has also been an advocate for change, positivity, and inclusivity. However, Nick Adams recently took to Twitter and claimed Bubba ruined the sport. This isn’t the first time this individual has taken a harsh stance against Bubba Wallace. There have been rough moments before as well.
Bubba Wallace ruined NASCAR. Formula 1 and INDYCAR are much better anyways.

NASCAR fans were quick to respond in defense of Bubba. Some stated that Nick was the one to ruin Twitter and others called him incorrect to blame Bubba like that.
According to some fans, NASCAR ruined itself rather than any specific individual. One fan also called him an ‘Anti-Bubba tangent’.
I honestly doubt you’re a legitimate fan of any of it. I think you’re just on an Anti-Bubba tangent.

Incorrect, but you always are.

I wouldn’t go that far, Nascar itself ruined NASCAR.

And most of it has to do with his pit crew ruining his stops. With how things are going, Bubba doesn’t seem like he’d be able to make it into the playoffs this year.

Christopher Bell’s pit crew was recently swapped with Bubba’s. And it answered for itself during the Atlanta race. During one of Bell’s pitstop, his left rear tire departed the vehicle as soon as he left the pit box.

Meanwhile, Bubba had a decent race and cruised to a 14th place finish in the race. Because of the failed pitstop, the #20 driver could only muster up a 19th-place finish at Atlanta.
Although Bubba hasn’t had a sound season with the new next-gen cars, especially because of his pit crew struggling with the single lug nut wheels, he has always been an outspoken gentleman that tries to bring positive change in NASCAR.
