Non nascar fan here and it’s the only reason I know his name.

Based on his stats and performance I don’t see how he can be viewed as a legit championship contender. Playoff contender? I think he is borderline with that argument. His career cup stats are:

255 starts
3 poles
2 wins
22 top 5’s
46 top 10’s
Avg start: 19.61
Avg finish: 19.85
Made playoffs once

He has been with 23XI since 2021 and has been in good equipment. Tyler Reddick over the last couple of seasons has proved that.

Reddick is entering his 3rd season with 23XI. His first two seasons, his stats were:
72 starts
5 poles
5 wins
22 top 5’s
37 top 10’s
Made playoffs both years. Finished 4th last year and 6th the year before. Compare that to Bubba over the last two seasons:

2 poles
0 wins
11 top 5’s
24 top 10’s
Made playoffs once

She is an all time underperformer with the equipment she was in at SHR. Wallace is a middle of the pack driver but not terrible. He's a cut above the Dillon bros and Cole Custer.

I was just implying the hype is because of the anomaly of their skin color or genitalia

Fair. If he wasn't half black he'd be about as famous as David Ragan.

Bubba seems like a cool, country dude that should appeal to a lot of the baws on this website, although I’ll admit he’s not licking enough boots for their taste. Trump made a way bigger deal about the noose incident than Bubba ever did.

He has good equipment. His teammate wins a decent amount of races, if he was a better driver he could probably be a contender but he hasn’t shown that to be the case as of yet.

As I said before, I think he has talent, I think his problem is in his head more than anything else.

False. I posted him still being mad about it over a year later. He claimed efbeye got it wrong. Still claimed it was a noose.

And its posted in this very thread!

I can tell you are a rookie Nascar fan.

I don’t really care. Nascar blew it by taking up for the clown over what turned out to be a lie. They will never recover.

100%. It’s been four and a half years and when I saw Bubba Wallace in the title my mind immediately went to this. It’s over for them
