In a disturbing turn of events, Bubba Wallace, the only full-time black driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, was subjected to a racist message after an unidentified individual tapped into his radio during the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

The incident has sparked outrage within the racing community and prompted NASCAR to launch a comprehensive investigation to identify and expose the perpetrators behind these hateful attacks.

Bubba Wallace Subjected to Racist Remarks as His Radio Got Infiltrated

Several fans reported overhearing offensive comments, including phrases such as “Go back to where you came from, you a**hole” and “You’re not wanted in NASCAR.”

Although Wallace’s team, 23XI Racing, confirmed that the driver did not hear the derogatory remark, audio of the incident has circulated online, raising concerns about the ongoing racist taunts directed at Wallace. Furthermore, Wallace has been subjected to boos from fans at recent races.

Following the incident involving the infiltrated radio communications, NASCAR has taken immediate action. Security personnel within the organization are conducting a thorough investigation to identify the individuals responsible for the unauthorized access to Bubba Wallace’s team radio.

This incident comes on the heels of a prior hate crime investigation by the FBI involving Wallace. Earlier, a noose was discovered in his garage, which prompted an extensive inquiry. Ultimately, it was determined that the noose was a pull-down rope, fashioned in the style of a hangman’s knot which was a part of the garage.

Wallace finished second to Kyle Larson, with a mere 4.537-second gap between them. This marked a strong showing for 23XI Racing, as Wallace’s teammate Tyler Reddick also had an impressive third-place finish. Both drivers achieved their best All-Star Race finishes on this stellar Sunday night at the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway.

Reflecting on the race, Wallace, as per NASCAR.com, expressed pride in his team’s performance, “Larson was lights out, so congrats to him. Cliff and those guys, they’ve been hitting it on the head, really, all season. So to run second to them is not a bad thing, but to run second in the All-Star Race sucks, right? You go home with nothing but proud of my team.”

Wallace started in the 10th position, while Reddick began in the 20th position based on the results of Saturday’s qualifying heats. The track’s worn surface presented a challenge for Wallace, who had to focus on tire conservation from the early stages of the race. Despite his efforts, he admitted that he didn’t have the same speed as Larson.

Reddick, on the other hand, employed a similar pit-stop strategy to Larson, gaining two positions during the first caution period. Although he was unable to make further progress, Reddick expressed satisfaction with his team’s decision to adopt a different approach, which paid off during the race. However, he rued a missed opportunity to overtake Wallace due to an unfortunate mistake.
