He looks like the N word flys out his mouth every other wordNow if that ain't the mug of a fucking bigot ass racist.............bald headed bitch. Fuck quitting at the end of the season. Quit now bitch.
NADCAR? Does motorsport.com not proofread their shit?

NASCAR's Bubba Wallace Finds Noose In Team Garage ... 'Despicable Act of Racism'Now if that ain't the mug of a fucking bigot ass racist.............bald headed bitch. Fuck quitting at the end of the season. Quit now bitch.
8:06 PM PT -- Bubba Wallace and NASCAR have confirmed the noose was found in Wallace's team garage Sunday afternoon at Talladega.
Wallace -- the only Black driver in NASCAR's top series -- immediately condemned the situation ... but says he will continue to fight against racism.
"Today’s despicable act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism," Wallace says.
"Over the last several weeks, I have been overwhelmed by the support from people across the NASCAR industry including other drivers and team members in the garage."
"Together, our sport has made a commitment to driving real change and championing a community that is accepting and welcoming of everyone."
"Nothing is more important and we will not be deterred by the reprehensible actions of those who seek to spread hate. As my mother told me today, 'They are just trying to scare you.'"
"This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will continue to proudly stand for what I believe in."
NASCAR also issued a statement saying the org. is "angry and outraged" and "have launched an immediate investigation."
2:26 PM PT -- NASCAR just postponed Sunday's race due to rain.
NASCAR is committed to keeping the Confederate flag out of its races -- but some bigoted fans seem just as committed as shoving it in there ... even if they have to take to the skies.
Before the Geico 500 race got underway Sunday at Alabama's Talladega Superspeedway, somebody flew a plane over the track with a massive banner bearing the flag ... with a message attached. It read, "DEFUND NASCAR."
That wasn't the only display of the Confederacy either -- not by a long shot. While no confederate flags were allowed inside the venue, a bunch of truck drivers rolled past the Speedway in what seemed to be a coordinated protest parade, with many flying the flag.
Some folks who wanted to show it off some more even set up camp across the street, and were proudly displaying the Confederate flag, alongside some Trump flags too.
Obviously, some people aren't all too pleased with NASCAR's new policy. But it doesn't sound like the org gives a damn about them, 'cause one of their top dogs took a swipe at the people acting in defiance ... flatly rejecting their thinking, and calling them names too.
Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's executive VP, addressed the fly-over on Twitter, writing ... "You won’t see a photo of a jackass flying a flag over the track here...but you will see this... Hope EVERYONE enjoys the race today."
It appears God and whoever else is up there in heavens were on Steve's side here -- it was reported that lightning started flaring up in the area, and the event was put on pause for a bit. If that doesn't make the plane land ... well, best of luck getting your message across.
