It is known that 23XI Racing’s, Bubba Wallace, receives a good chunk of hate. However, it was recently brought to the public’s attention that Wallace also tops the charts when it comes to the amount of hate drivers receive on Twitter. Fans were even more surprised when they did not find Hendrick Motorsports fan favorite driver anywhere on the list.
